Even small percentages can make a difference, but your point about whether it’s worth the power, the slots, and endurance is definitely valid.

The effect of the powers changes based on the class. For a full break down you can go here: http://cityofheroes.wikia.com/wiki/Leadership But basically Blaster, 2.275% Def 10.50% Dmg 7.0% to hit Even 3 slotted with 40% defense buffs, which is very high, you're looking at 6.2% defense buff on Manuevers. That is totally worthless. Since you can't enhance to-damage, you're stuck with 10.5% on Assualt. Tactics can be buffed to 19.2%, if you don't mind taking one of the other powers for basically no reason. But then you're looking at at least 5 slots for a power-pool power (as you'll wreck your endurance without modding that). And most blasters get Aim, which is much easier to slot and you don't have to pick another power for it, and drain your endurance. Manuevers is worthless for Blasters, Scrappers, Tanks, Brutes and Stalkers as they all have the same bonus. For Kheldians, Dominators, Masterminds, Controllers and Corrupters, it is marginally better at 2.625%, which lets you get up to 7.2% - still worthless in my opinion. Defenders start with a 3.5, which lets you get to 9.6% - marginal at best. You really have to get two or three people to stack this before it really gets usefull.
