I use them often in PVP.

Sitting to eat and getting auto-crit is fail.

They've been pretty useful on my hunter also.

I always max it out because I have this fantasy that I'm in a 25man on the final boss and it's at 1% health, my entire raid is dead except for me, I'm out of mana and cooldowns, but I bandage and was able to stay alive to get that last hit in to save the day.

Even if I still ended up dieing and the boss drops from my bleeds, at least I was alive long enough to get them on him.

One day I swear this will happen.

Can I get $15/month for not playing them?

The only time I use them is in pvp, and even then it is a last resort.

First Aid is something that I have leveled on all of my characters. It is a useful tool that doesn't take too long to level up. I do have to say though, that once leveling is done in Northrend bandages have gotten exceptionally useless since they do not seem to heal a decent percentage of HP once you start to gear up.

I guess for the effort it does take to level up as well as the gold you'll actually get from cloth you 'might as well'. It just felt like a waste on my Shammy when I had leveled it up and never used a bandage. I'd even just vendor the bandages eventually and they were never missed.


Both the classes I play now can heal themselves, and with my pally after a battle it doesn't even take mana just holy power. Maybe for PvP I'd find it useful, even then.. meh.


I might level it anyway just to see what Cata holds for FA, but right now I find it pretty useless.
