HP washing for slingers

For PB, you don't need that much more HP(before HB) as you do for HT, I think it's like 300 HP more, which for slingers is about 12~14 levels worth of HP. So if you have enough HP to HT at 170, you should be ready for PB at mid-190s. Although it seems like it might be better to just blood for a level or two, since each point you put into HP is another level sooner you can take on those bosses. And who really misses five dex THAT much?
