Second Wind III is a support gem. It increases the number of uses of a cooldown skill, at the cost of longer cooldown time.

Skill functions and interactions

Second Wind III has particular interactions with some skills that have a cooldown. Both instances of the cooldown operate independently from each other for skills, meaning it is possible to achieve 100% uptime on skills such as Lunar Blessing with enough skill effect duration or cooldown recovery by having one instance finish its cooldown while the other instance of the buff or skill is still active.

This effect is also present on Second Wind II

Item acquisition

Second Wind III has restrictions on where or how it can drop.

It can be obtained by engraving an Uncut Support Gem.
