First Aid is a skill that allows you to craft and use bandages from cloth (generally obtained from Humanoid enemies). Bandages, like their application in real life, allow you to restore your characters hit points. Like most restoration abilities, bandages can only be used when nothing is hitting you. Even with this limitation, they are still very valuable in both during and after combat.
Bandages directly heal your hit points in ¡°ticks¡± while you are channeling them. You can do nothing else (no attacking, moving, etc.) while using a bandage. The health is received in ticks (generally one second apart). So if a bandage heals 300 hit points over 10 seconds, you will receive 30 hits every second for 10 seconds. After a bandage has finished channeling (through any means) you will gain a debuff that will not allow you to use another bandage for sixty seconds
Bandages have a great advantage over food in that they can be used while standing and while in combat. All enemies have a 100% chance to gain a critical strike against you while sitting, which makes eating a very risky thing to do in an area with a ton of enemies (PvP for instance). Food can not be using in combat, but bandages can. This means that if you can heal yourself during combat (assuming nothing is hitting on you, which will interrupt the bandage channeling).
Bandages can be used on other players, even if they do not have the First Aid skill. This has plenty of implications, for instance allowing a Priest to regain mana while you bandage the group. Bandages are extremely useful in several instance fights where you can duck out of the action to recover your health.
Other Tips
- Hunters and Warlocks can use bandages to quickly heal their pets. This is very useful, especially when leveling up to 70.
- Place bandages on the action bar to more quickly use them.
- Battlegrounds sell special bandages that can only be used while in the battlegrounds. You may need to raise your faction in the battleground to earn these bandages. These are very useful if you are a regular PvP warrior.
- Bandages are especially useful when leveling to 70 for classes that do not heal such as Rogues and Warriors. Start early. You also collect a lot of linen that can be used to start off first aid. Go to town and look for a trainer as soon as you can.
- Bandages heal faster than food, allowing you to more quickly get back into combat.
- Tip: make sure you watch your skill level to make sure it is not maxed. It's common mistake to not notice you've maxed out your current skill level. This cap will cause you to lose skill point increases until you raise the cap.
