My question is about the genie skill Second Wind. The skill says it "increases the healing by 2% for every str point added."



Like 2% of 800 is 16. So does every str point add 16 points to the heal? if I had 50 srt that would give me 1.6k

Or would it add 2% of 816 and keep going like that? If I had 50 str that would give me like 2.2k


I plan on pumping str for ToP and Cloud Eruption. I'm just curious if anybody else knows the answer to this ^^

    The first one definitely. My genie has 72 str and i have 3.3k hp and it heals about 1.1k hp (+ the 800 extra, which is nice). But yea, just keep with the str and second wind works wonders. (if i'm wrong, feel free to correct me ^^)

    Happy gaming :D

    Ty for the answer. Bit disappointed but still seems like a great emergency skill if your genie is already a str-based one.

    Yea, but theres also ToP, which uses str as well (for what you may have to research), even though it's a over time heal skill and not a "now" heal skill. But no problem

    First one unfortunately. While it can make a nice emergency skill, once your HP is in the 4k+ category you're really better off going ToP which can be a near-full HP restoration on the right genie.

    the trouble i found with TOP is if you happen to be charmed and wait to late to use your TOP, you can end up with a charm tick anyway as it increased you max hp (unless that has changed since I last used it on a genie - tend to be playing magical classes atm, so second wind is a better choice)

    Hasnt been changed.

    Personally I just use second wind during low lvls or on squishy toons, for that purpose its simply awesome.

    The more you put in str the more energy return you get back and second wind is good for those that don't have good healing.It is good if you are out soloing along with ToP.
    Looking for a decent casual understanding Faction.

    Second Wind is best on a pure strength genie. 800 points +2% per point of strength... so if you have a genie with 100 strength it will heal for 2400 points.

    Tree of Protection is best used on a pure dex or mixed genie. Strength only increases your max hp, dex increases the speed of healing. ToP on a pure strength genie is really best suited for a barbarian to use before Armageddon. It used to be a better skill but was one of the first to be nerfed...
    I post in forums. This one and others. That's why I post.

    I have a 100 str genie with second wind b:surrender

    I like it b/c it uses less energy and stamina then top and also heals about that much and the instant part
