Is HP Washing Required?

For a long time, I've wanted to make an Archer.

I've played Maplestory since Beta, and had an archer in Beta, but quit my archer once I found out about HP Washing and the fact that wouldn't survive.

Oh how good it was to be ignorant.

Well, now my question to you guys is, do you need to HP Wash to be a successful Archer (Marksmen)?

I have no qualms about HP washing, just want to make sure that I align up enough INT equips.

So, do I have to HP wash if I want to boss by level 150/160?

And if so, how many times?

Thanks!

And if so, how many times? 1 ap into hp is about 18 to 20 hp, so u need to wash about approx 20 times, i think for ht at 150/160

Thanks!

just go blooding if hp is a problem from 12x onwards, the crazy WA equips in GMS will make up the shortfall in damage, really

Well, right now you may need to, but mind that in about half a year all classes will get HP boosts.

No, it's not required to hp wash unless you want to do something many levels earlier.

The only real reasons archers HP wash at all is so that they can HT in their lvl 15x's other then that there is no real reason for us to HP wash unless u wanna surive BF and anego which hopefully u can keep em pin'd and theres no need to take any damg from them. So frankly you really dont need to HP wash at all, as long as you have 3.1k+ Hp for zak and CWK then ur fine truthfully
