All HP gear does is increase your maximum HP. It doesn't prevent damage, it doesn't help you recover faster, it just changes how much HP you have when fully healed.

If you don't heal up to that maximum before every fight, you're not benefiting from that gear.

It is true in abstract but it has its uses in practice. This game has the god damn habit of putting yellows in an otherwise blue con camp so it lets you face tank those.

Lets you take on pulls you can't split. Or shrug off lull fails.

Gives you some time when you need to run to zone because you aggroed that red con.

Also lets you clear entire dungeon sections and then take a bigger rest afk, that's just QOL but its nice.

Pair it with AC like bcbrown said and your survival odds go through the roof early on.

It makes everything less risky basically. You don't always need it but it is very nice to have. And not having to run to zone or gate as often increases efficiency.
