Hello! I'm planning on making an Assassin, but I'm not sure how I should HP wash it. I was thinking about going for 80 INT so I can wash 2 times every 3 levels. Not sure if I should do 40 base INT and 40 from equips or something like that. My goal is just to get 6k at Level 155 for Horntail. Thanks in advance.
With 80 int for 100 levels that would give you 800 extra mp, around 1300 extra hp (low counted) if you only aim for HT at 155 that's even more than you need. If you have no other reasons to hp wash, using 50 int would work well. If you aim for 80 int then it's better to use equips than having base int, but if you are low funded having base int won't cost you anything now but you lose some damage.
I have 40 base INT and I can already wash up to 4.5k HP at LV. 100. I have close to no INT gear. 80 total INT does the trick, really.
Seeing as you get a good chunk of HP from advancing jobs and hopefully you have a 2 carat ring, it's probably much less than you think. If you have a half way decent Int Robe, Wooden Wand and Zakum Helmet, you won't even need base Int.
Since I barely have enough money for potions, I obviously don't have enough for INT equips so I went with 60 Base INT. 40 might have been enough but I didn't realize that before I already had added 60. With Z-Helm and Dep Star I'll have 80 later and I think that's fine. Thanks everyone for the help.
