Unwashed ranged classes are a waste of time?

No I agree completely. It's ridiculous the amount of money and effort to find int gear it is just to have good hp, especially for old characters.

I mean I'm even considering buying noob int gear (add's up to 6x int) and remaking a NL, without even double/MP washing to get extra hp. All these new characters have way more hp than I can ever have.

And Blooding isn't an option I don't want to be weak, but I still want to participate in bosses.
