I'm not sure this would be an effective use of points.
When resetting HP/MP, you always lose the max amount or gain the min amount (10 vs 12 for mp, 16 vs 20 for HP).
So for 5 points put in MP, you're getting (11+gear int/10) (assuming it even counts gear when putting points in MP) and then losing 60. If you reset directly to HP, you're only getting 80 hp. Then when you reset the MP again you lose another 60.
So you have to be up at least 134 MP (including the increase due to levelup) in order to wash this way.
Split over levelup (14-16+gear) and 5 points in MP (10-12+gear) you get guaranteed 64-76 MP, average 70, and need to make up 64 from gear in 5 steps.
So for this to work you need 130+ int with gear, and you gained 80hp for 10 resets. That's 8 hp per reset.
In contrast, the int washing method: Go pure int to level (x), then pure mp to level (y).
Obviously this costs a lot of resets (y*5) to clear up, but if you want much extra HP it can be effective.
From level 10 to x, you're gaining 10 int every 2 levels (starting at 4/25/37/4 @ 10), so 3, 4, 4, 5, 5, 6, 6, ... extra mp. Say x is level 50. Then you end up with 237 int, 516 extra MP.
Now from x to y, you're putting 5 points in MP every level, as well as gaining extra mp on levelups.
Say y is level 90. That's 40*5 = 200 mp + 40 levelups = 240*23 = 5520 extra mp. (assuming no gear int, anyway)
Now you have 233+200 points to reset, but you gained 6036 mp. 503 washes (level 90-190 5 points per level) will get rid of it.
End result being that you only used 936 resets to get 9054 hp, or 9.67 hp per reset.
At that scale 1.7 extra hp per reset adds up, as in 1600 extra hp for your trouble. A 190 normally has 4300? so you got 13300 instead of 11700. (21300 vs 18700 with HB)
That's the difference from beign able to tank HT's tail o_O
Adding INT gear also makes this method better. If, starting at 50, you have +80 int from gear until lv.90, you can look forward to an additional 1920 MP, giving you an extra 160 washes: 1096 total for 11800 total HP, an improvement to 10.76 hp/ap, and ending up with 16200 base HP, 26000 with HB.
This technique can also be optimized further if you have a specific target HP in mind, and you know what int gear you can get - these are just vague numbers to demonstrate that it's feasible.
