Notes[ | ]
- You gain energy from the overcast caused by activating this skill.
- You can quickly build up overcast to a useful amount by activating and canceling this skill a few times; however, allowing overcast to exceed half of your maximum energy will only provide diminishing returns.
- Energy gain
To illustrate energy management effects, the following table presumes Second Wind is cast every 15 seconds (fully recovering from 5 points of overcast requires 15 seconds per activation) and that the minimum overcast is maintained at the amount shown to reach the desired net energy gain:
| Maintained Overcast | 10 | 20 | 30 | 40 | 50 | 60 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Net Energy Gain | 5 | 15 | 25 | 35 | 45 | 55 |
| Energy Gain/Second | 0.34 | 1.00 | 1.66 | 2.34 | 3.00 | 3.66 |
