Dexless DW vs. dexless NW

It is to me. It also is a disadvantage for bossing when the boss deals unavoidable damage that requires HP washing to live through. Horntail is an average example because number crunching proved without HP washing the average character would just be able to handle a Horntail hit at nearly level 200. Pink Bean is a ridiculous example (statue damage of course) because it needs unfunny levels of HP washing the the brink about 7k base HP is needed to handle the statue damage safely.

How is that related? You can't get through HT without enough HP to tank a hit. You're saying that NWs have trouble with Pap because they can't take a hit.
