to be honest, one of the things i miss the most is weapon skills. they have have been tedious to level up or whatever but it really made me feel like i was playin an RPG and got me more immersed and invested in my character just being able to see that i had them all maxed in my skills tab and remembering all the work i put into doing it

i 'member. was how i kept my warriors alive whenever i played them!

…now it’s part of tailoring, and i only ever use it to get the skill up, rather than heal myself… seriously, warlocks have life drain, mages have their table, and priests are 90% healing, why would they ever need to make/use bandages??

The title reminded me of this, lol:

Anyway, on topic. I will first aid still existed along with the ability to get the Field Medic title :pensive:

Yes, and I made sure to grind that title out in Legion before they removed it, and the profession.

Lots of grinding involved, I distinctly remember spending 8+ hours killing murlocs in Azsuna for a singular bandage quest I needed to finish it.

Field Medic, I use the title on my healers.

I gave it a good send-off.

modern wow doesnt let you sit around to cast a bandage… you constantly take aoe damage, and have to dodge stuff.

we’re in a much more hyper gameplay. the people constantly jumping for no reason are driving the ship… so how do you use bandage?

I remember those days, blizzard cared about the world more back then.

First aid, actually needing to learn from class trainers, and learning weapon types should have never been removed.

Yup…I do and wish it was still part of the game.
/Thinks to self: “sure wish they would stop removing the small things”

First aid should come back with a 35% chance battle res that uses an animation of your character giving CPR and Mouth to mouth resuscitation. Usable on any race to any race. :dracthyr_lulmao:

My primary memory of First Aid is after gathering up a stack of mats:

[Runecloth Bandage]
Skill raised to 97
[Runecloth Bandage]
[Runecloth Bandage]
[Runecloth Bandage]
[Runecloth Bandage]
Skill raised to 98
[Runecloth Bandage]
[Runecloth Bandage]
[Runecloth Bandage]
[Runecloth Bandage]
[Runecloth Bandage]
Skill raised to 99
[Runecloth Bandage]
[Runecloth Bandage]
[Runecloth Bandage]
[Runecloth Bandage]
[Runecloth Bandage]

…and out of cloth. \o/

It was a perfect example of a good idea that in practice was terrible.

You either had to make healing so brutal other classes would pause what they were doing to become a healer or buff the healing from it to such absurd degrees ot became a potion.

Just didn’t have a practical solution

Or…it wasn’t designed solely around how it could get used in an end game raid?

FA was helpful when leveling for the many classes with no self healing back then.

FA was helpful in PvP for classes without self healing.

I remember saving my group with bandages in Pit of Saron when the healer died. It was epic.

RIP First Aid. Twas a dumb decision to remove it.
