The devs have said that they want to see bandages become viable in Cataclysm. Whether or not they'll pull it off is another thing altogether.

If you don't have a "self healing" skill, you need them in Cat due to the damage you take from mobs, which is a LOT more than we are used to.

Well you don't "need" them, but they help offset down time.

I leveled it to get the accomplishment. I sold the bandages.

I don't use bandages much leveling up but once I get to PvP, I tend to rely on them more. I imagine if you have a mana based class with healing (rather than my Rogue and Warrior), you may never use it.

However, it is best to come to the party with all your tools just the same if there is a even a slightest chance you might need it.

I still use first aid almost every time I sit down to PvP. They don't do much, but its often worth it if you think about it and do it at the right times. If cloth was actually useful for something else there'd be another side to it, but at least on my server its usually cheaper to just vendor it after the AH cut. =/ I don't play healers that much so I couldn't say for them, but my deeps use em.

Look at it another way....is there any reason NOT to level it up?

Sure it is not game breaking, but it does have its uses from time to time. In vanila it was more usefull, wotlk -> not so important. Lets see what Cat brings.

Imo, FA is good when you level even as a healing class to safe mana und reduce downtime every once in a while after a huuuuge pull Its also good in PvP but only for classes who can not heal. other than that its pretty much worthless...

you will not get much money out of the cloth which comes along while you level or farm or whatever so just skill FA up....

I have FA maxed for my level. Even as a warrior, I rarely use the bandages. Cooking is better healing IMO because of the stat buffs.

I've also noticed that I'm having to sell cloth more cheaply on AH now than I did before they removed the donation-for-rep NPCs, especially runecloth. I've had four auctions expire in the past week without the stacks selling, and that was after undercutting everyone else's prices

If you think my opinion is idiotic, re-read yours.
Dont worry I will give my opinion anyways.
The PvP MMO is NOT a "niche" market, Mythic is just a "niche" company.
