Second wind question.

[Jaged]

When you die with second wind do you come back immediatly, or can you lay there for a while and let the heat pass?

[Angelos]

Second wind won't resurrect your dead body. It gives you health when you are almost dead. I'm told it's useless. Combine with regen though and you get some good ol' fashioned invulnerability as long as you don't run out of stamina...

[Jaged]

Bah, there go my fantacies of "playing dead" for a few seconds and getting back up and cloaking away again.......

I used Second Wind as my THIRD implant for a while and it was a waste for that even!

It activates when you are around 25 health. If you are at 25 health then you have no armor, and if you have no armor and 25 health, then the extra 25 health/stam does absolutly nothing unless you killed your enemy. If you killed your enemy then there is no rush for the health.

Basically there are much better implants. Surge and Darklight are two excelent implants. If you have engineering then adv regeneration is nice because in downtime you can get yourself back up to 100 hp/armor in the middle of nowhere. (or while driving now)

Most of the comment's I've heard about Second Wind is "Its useless" or "It sucks"

[Zarparchior]

And it does... For the obvious reasons Squick said above.

I have tested all the "sucks" implants because I often view them as underestimated.

Audio Amplifier - Real handy but situational due to small range. Defense on a CC is less nerve wracking with this. IMO range for hearing should be increased.

Second wind - Has saved my butt a few times but sometimes doesnt quite kick in in time. 25 extra life and sta is always nice but usually its not enough to save you. Replace stam with armor and it should work better.

I agree. If something "sux0rs" my first instinct is to say you're not using it correctly. Of course, I only say that when I've used it myself... no need to be a hypocrite.

Audio amp has helped me quite a few times (when I use it). It's a little less obviously useful, as compared to adv regen or darklight, and seems to be very useful for a) detecting when you're going to get mob'd (and you will), detecting a stealth (not as good as DL, but hey), and for just being able to seek out the red dots and try to shoot at em'.

They need to eithe replace SW with something else, improve it, or take it out altogether. As of now, it's kinda crap.

One idea I had for Second Wind was right before you die it gives you 25 health AND boosts your runspeed by 50% for 5 seconds. To me it seems more like the idea behind second wind...

Who said AudioAmp sucks? It's one of the better implants.
But Second Wind, health is not sacred enough, even if it would give you 100 HP again, maybe change the +health in +stamina so it would be a good second implant...
