It's a fall-back you use when things go bad, so you try to get back into the game by taking a break - it is a mini-rest.As such, it should work like a rest and give back more than just some hit points.Make it refresh a single encounter power and it gets much more interesting - it effectively becomes a mini-rest allowing you to take 1-2 another hits and take a second shot with something good. And it helps with at-will slugfests/grinds, as it helps with offensive powers.It also becomes more distinct from other sorts of healing and makes it tactically interesting - because right now, you only burn your second wind, if you don't have other healing options. This way, second wind offers you another gimme and you may even favour it - you now have the choice: More healing or more support? (and doing both, i.e. second wind followed by something like Healing Word - if you do that too often, you burn through surges fast).The problem is, however, that the dwarves' minor action-version of second wind becomes waaay too good then.Cheers, LT.</blockquote>
