I am currently working on a Low Str Hunter (Lvl 45) when I suddenly recalled HP washing. I had done it before years ago but I had int equips to make it work better. Without INT equips how viable is this? I think at level 120 I would only be able to wash around 11 times. On top of HP washing as much as I can, what level would an unfunded bowman have to achieve to be a part of end game bossing parties?
I casually HP washed (only extra INT from equips and job advances) and I was at 5.4k at 141 as a Marksman. 5.6k is the minimum for Horntail, which is easily achievable into your 16x.
