I'm just wondering if you use Mo/E and gave second wind has E management.

you use full ascetic, +15 -1 off hand, and a +5 e weapon it should come about 60-70 energy? maybe? and if you maintain the exhaustion at 30 and should have around 30-40 max energy? so basically everytime you use 2nd wind it should come to get around 30 energy, and the thing is if u need more energy in a shorter time, the 5 second recharge of 2nd wind is pretty nice if you panic or over spent in short period of time. any one want try this out and tell me if it works? i'm short on 10$ for faction........

Second wind itself gives exhaustion.

Problem is you might be tempted to use it too much, wich is bad for energy management.

I tried this on a friend account, it works ok for boon proting, it was easy to keep the energy above 20 all the time, but the problem is the 2 second cast, i got destroyed by interrupts, and it is especially not wise to use this skill when someone is about to evasicret you

if you need to allow 2nd wind's exhuasting to completely recover before recasting it, it means you can only cast 2nd wind once every 30 seconds (any more eventually you will be overcomed by exhuasting)... so 30 en over 30 secs, around 1 pip regen... just enought to offset the -1 degen from +15 en weapon...

sounds dubious...

30 energy over 30 second is 3 pipe of regen........... beside the point of using 2nd wind is because of its spammablilty, when you need massive energy in short period of time during the "heat" of battle

It does return a lot of energy, but the problem is really that 2sec cast. Maybe it would work for PvE, but the long cast time will result in getting interrupted or having teammates die in PvP.
