pure END yes or no?

[Lilian]

while cursedmagus is right a pure end fighter will tank better than a pure spr fighter, fighters' base stats add more than enough def and HP to tank most anything regardless of how freestats are distributed.

really, a SPR build is meant for PvP if nothing else. running around with your axe critting power hits on those poor squishies and dropping them in a single round of skill spams, that's what an spr build is for.

this is all true.

for an example, my fighter has no points in END, and she never will. I tanked Zombie King in the dungeon at level 31 with a twohander sword. Most people will not attempt ZK at that level even with a tank build. Yes, I had to stone and pot to help my cleric keep me alive, but my point is, END is not needed for tanking most things.

Now, knowing this, would I rather put points in END to have an easier time tanking, when I can already do it by staying awake and not placing all my trust on the cleric alone, OR, would I put the free points into increasing my damage and critrate instead? I think the answer is quite obvious.
