a lot of unasqued questions from a lurker that came out from the shadows

]Actually... Get the idea that HP washing is required from your mind. Gunslingers have low HP, but that's paid by their high damage. All ranged classes work like that, and if you get used to playing them, you learn some strategies on not getting really high damaged by some bosses, instead of the default hold the attack key and use potions when damaged way of killing a boss.

or instead of HP washing, you could sacrifice some damage and put points into HP.

There's a reason why we're allowed to put points into HP too. It's just maple is a damage whore fest so people don't generally add points into HP cause they will have "lol u has teh sucz demeg luOOOOlll nub"

I'm going to go ahead and say no, regular mobs will not kill you in 2 hits even as a low HP class, and if they do, that is easily remedied by some gear with high HP boosts, like Rex's earrings, Chaos boss equips or just plain old HP% from potential. Some bosses will most likely kill you in 2 hits though. But remeber this is because of the system where you will miss monsters above your level. You wont be going to bosses like HT before you at least match its level.

Got it, guess I'll give the slinger a chance, since it's not as hard as I tought to survive while training... but for now, the aran and the page are looking better... the page has a small plus: he can borrow nx from other chars (unlike the aran) and if my info is right, they also have a lot of hp... however, mobing with arans is so tempting since my only option (for now) is training by myself... you know, hit more mobs = more total damage dealt = more exp... as a random coment, I had a teacher who said "when it's hard to decide between to things, it means both are equally good. When in doubt, just toss a coin and stop wasting your time thinking"...
