How is it worthless? Max HP buffs do temporarily increase the maximum hp, but they also act like healing skills. The demerit for the skill is essentially gone, and if the targeted servant doesn't take 2000 damage (assuming max skill level) over 5 turns, then you're running like 3 defense buffs with class defense advantage or using target focus buffs like with Chevalier D'eon. I've kept Merlin alive for long periods of time using his max hp buff on himself, since some of the challenge quest bosses prioritize killing casters first.
