3% Extra Endurance for 3 talent points? Useless

[Chasted]

As the topic title suggest, the first tier in Assault Specialist (Damage) Soldier's Endurance (Increases Endurance be 1%/2%/3%) is practically useless and the issue is only magnified by the cost.

 

My math behind it:

First, every 1 Endurance increases your hit point score by 10

Now, assume someone has 2000 endurance (A damn feat, even at level 50... I think)

With 3% extra endurance you will get 60 extra Endurance which translates into 600 extra hit points.

That's 2 Hammer Shots in hit points from my level 42 Vanguard (Lowest damage possible).

 

Considering the price for the skill and the other alternatives available; is it even worth giving 3% extra endurance the time of day?

 

Ps, I do concede that it's only use is traversing up the Assault Specialist Tree without having to put points into Ionized Ignition but if that's the only reason for it the skill needs to be changed.

I could see myself specing into it as a tank for progression raiding where survivability is of utmost priority and threat isn't an issue. Otherwise, no, I don't believe it is worth it. I think it's a notch behind Ion Shield (2 talent points for 2% less damage taken). For every 10000 you actually take 9800. Although, over time in raids those things add up.
