    Depend on whether you have any method of survivability, do you PvP or not.
    If you do have other methods of survivability (e.g. LA, chaos powder, pots, teleport, uber gear, etc.), or you only PvE, not recommended (unless you have free slot for skill).
    Otherwise, very recommended.
    Note that you have a slow heal at level 24 to heal in between fight, so second wind is an emergency button at most.

    backup heal, emergency heal, charm saver, pot saver , etc.

    Sure, it's most useful in PvE, but I can tell u right now, I will not take it off my genie.
    1600 HP instant heal.

    This is however a skill for low/medium HP and PvE. PvP and high HP endgame I think ToP is more useful.

    It depend how much HP you have. From some border is ToP much better. I have 5300 HP unbuffed and ToP heal me more than 4.5K. I think. If you have low HP second tree is better. Just do some calculations.

    yup, I'm at 53xx HP myself , and ToP begins to show its power.

    Below 5k HP I don't think there is a need for ToP unless you're a heavy PvPer.
    Second wind on a genie with 50 str will heal you for 1600 HP. That's enough for daily stuff , grinds, BHs and so on to save your charm and bring your HP from 60% to full.

    In case you have no charm, yes, ToP is better, but u need to learn how to time it properly or it won't save your **** when it counts.

    Heals a terrible amount of HP honestly, and STR built genies suck for wizards. As soon as you hit 90 it's pretty much garbage in pvp.
    Wondering how much longer these **** packs are going to be around.

    I had it on my genie for 2 days and took it off for top asap. Its a piece of garbage with a dex genie and hardly heals anything.

    with all due respect i must disagreeb:surrender ive had 2nd wind on my zeal 4 ever now. and fully buffed i got around 4500hp (yes i no i dont have ubber amounts of hp like all you 100 wiz out there) but seriously...... instant 1600hp? yall cant see the pvp benifits of that? my gold zeal is build str/vit rite now and im goin 2 unlearn EF and throw ToP on it. but ToP/2nd wind combo is amazing. seriously..... if u got the vit on ur genie 2 do that. sorry im rambling on. (3am)b:surrender but to get 2 the point. no matter what level you are, if your PvE or PvP, or how much hp you have. you cant deny that an instant 1600hp can save ur **** in 80% of situations that will arise. i find it rly rly rly helpful when i got ticked and im still takin major dmg, it gives me nuff hp 2 get my charm off cooldownb:victory but ya thats my lil rant b:laugh
    So what if we have bad HP, we're Chuck Norris in the damage department!!!!! b:pleased

    If your going into an fb and the Barb screams "LEEROY JENKINS" as he runs into the cave, leave the party. It's only going to get worse from then on.b:shocked

    Nef is all but a memory. Pwi may once again sleep peacefullyb:pleased

    ...I dislike the effect of how TOP lowers HP before it heals...

    Fail overload...

    ToP doesn't lower your HP, it increases your max HP, this is why it ''looks'' like you loose HP. Read the skill description a bit more carefully.

    2nd Wind is pro for when Absolute Domain is on Cooldown :) But it depends on the situation, if you need HoT healing go Tree of Protection, if you want Instant Healing, go 2nd wind

    The other scenario is when your charm is in cooldown. Second Wind can make the difference between another charm tick or death. Although personally you'll need a lot of str for the genie for it to be effective later on. With 80 or so str it should heal a bit more than 2k I believe.

    (of course it's dumb to put 80 str in a genie without using other skills that need str, such as Cloud Eruption, etc).
