As one of the three secondary professions which you can choose from the in the World of Warcraft First Aid has been around for a while. In some ways this profession never gained much popularity since it doesn’t enhance either profit or fun in game compared to the other professions. However, all pro players, especially dps classes had a maximum skill in First Aid since they had use of it while in combat.

First Aid is usually a need for any class which doesn’t have healing abilities such as Rogues, Hunters, Mages, Warlocks, Warriors and Death Knights, even though the healing classes can also have a good use of it. First Aid plays a deciding factor during fights in Battlegrounds or in Arenas. Click here for more on First Aid Guide WoW

What is First Aid all about?

You First Aid profession gives you the ability to use bandages which restore your health or can be used to remove certain poison effects. This skill is to be used when you get damaged by an enemy player or npc. As mentioned before it can be used both in PVP and PVE. 

How do I use bandages?

Once made bandages come in the stacks of 20. If you want to use one of these bandages you should click on another player and then click again on one of the bandages. Make sure that the person you have targeted is not moving too much because if the player moves out of the rather small bandage range the bandaging will be stopped. Once bandaged a player will receive a debuff cannot receive a bandage from someone else or bandage himself for 60 seconds. The debuff you can see is called “Recently Bandaged”. Once the debuff disappears you can bandage yourself again. For the best leveling guide click here: WoW Ultimate Guide Review
