Just add points to HP and merchant for NX later if you want to reset it.
My Corsair had 60 points in HP for a long time and I only reset 30 of them recently due to the AP Reset Sale. I leveled with only 50-60 Int from level 80-120, which is not hard to obtain at all. Adding into HP helped me survive Pianus and tank Pap very early on, making it easy for me to kill those bosses. It did not affect my training speed since I could still 2HKO Skeles with Cannon. Yes, I did eventually invest in Int gear for level 120+ because I intended to reset those blood points eventually. The point is, if you cannot afford to HP Wash, Blood Builds are perfectly viable and they don't reduce your DPS by that much either.
Horntail is survivable with a bit of HP gear (and you don't even need to wear them the whole time) for most unwashed ranged classes. Pink Bean is just a waste of time and money in my opinion. Just because an unwashed ranged class cannot survive past Ariel doesn't mean they suck.
