Second Wind was nice when I was lower level, because it heals a set amount, but im starting to wonder of tree of protections is the better choice because as my level increases so does my HP, and it increases based on a percentage.

Im level 73 right now, which skills is better to have on my genie?

    I like ToP more because it already has affinity requirement with extreme poison.

    I like 2nd wind more. It saves my charm constantly.
    Navarre was your everyday veno, until she learned her true form. Now she's fox walloping and purging over and over again.. all for a deep stinging, head hunting, wind pushing Assassin. Will there be inner harmony and myriad rainbows? But of course! Yuri&Lemon Find it on Fanfiction XD "Discovering Sanctuary" Chapter 2 is up ^_^

    Tree of Protection gets to be more appropriate as you level up.
    I think that Second Wind is better during low-mid levels, especially becouse it has instant cast, while ToP takes a few seconds.
    Over all ToP is the way to go since you stated your level being 73. It covers a lot more HP and it even increases you max HP and that can get critical sometimes.

    I have both. It totally depends on the circumstance, for example, in RB if you're being ganged by a lot of mobs and BB+Charm+Pots aren't enough, use ToP, Second Wind is more like a "Second chance" you get, most usefull in PvP. It also depends on your max HP and your stat distribuition points on genie. Example: If you're a Barb, ToP is undoubtely better than Second Wind, but if you're a caster, Second wind is way better.

    Second wind is instant and will save you a charm tick
    TOP heals almost 90% of your hp, but you'll most likely tick from using it
    So depends if you have a charm or not

    I prefer Tree of Protection.

    For instant heal, use Hsu Hsiaoko's Mantou / Faerie Wine.

    yeah, but that's something u craft/buy.
    Genie energy/stamina is free (well, at least after 90).
    I had both ToP and Second Wind. I'm constantly using SW, got rid of ToP. Sometimes is worth having ToP, but those cases are so rare, I don't even bother.
    I have 5k HP, being healed for 1.6k with a second wind is more than enough for me to survive when I need to.
    With the help of a charm and a HP pot and I'm a tough cookie :P

    ToP, no question about it, to my thinking. my veno has both, but i am so sorry i wasted the SP to put on SW. ToP gives much more, much faster. My archer has ToP, but its still nerfed since they screwed up the fairies months ago...i havent dared to blow the SP on fixing it. i think im going to take it off her, give it to an alt just to fix the problem, then send it back.

    Second Wind was nice when I was lower level, because it heals a set amount, but im starting to wonder of tree of protections is the better choice because as my level increases so does my HP, and it increases based on a percentage.
