Ah, I see. Well I wouldn't call that a crash, just the endurance usage involved with activating it.

The only reason I take it is because of hits +HP component. If you are soft capped there really is no other reason to take it, although the added resistance can be nice and with the introduction of alpha slots it can be that much mor effective. I do not have a /Shield Brute, but I have it on both of my Shield/ Tankers.

I see plenty of reasons to take it. Even soft-capped mine can get pretty hard at times, especially against anything with -Def or +ToHit. More to the point, because it provides two different brands of boost at once, it really helps out against the nastier debuff foes. Also, a little +endMod helps out in the bigger fights, which is naturally when I'll be using it more.
