Hey just wondering you old pros, having a lot of fun trying diff 4box class set ups and wondering about firstaid. Do you guys bother leveling that? Of course all my old alts use it but that was solo.... whatcha think, save time and money and skip it?

well I am not sure if you will have time to use FA for example in pvp. too long casting time and it isnt safe. Easier to heal and drink.
And after all if you will use FA on one toon - all toons and main will have to stand and wait, not the best thing you can do.

Get it on your main healer. It's only there for a quick "oops" situation where you're out of mana and need a quick spot heal. It really doesn't cost that much time or money, especially for a multiboxer.

Just as with any other action, you can individualize this too ... but probably best, as Ugh... said, do it on main healer.

In my case probably just the warrior, but still working out my keybindings and macros trying to get as much prep work done prior to actually starting this endeavor.

i dont see why you wouldnt. doesnt cost you anything for the most part and its a convenient quick HP injection for no mana. unless youre desperately short on cash and have to vendor the cloth, you might as well put it to use.

yes but for those 10 seconds you have to stand at place and wait
in pvp it would slow you alot

as I said, you cant waste that much time on standing at place in pvp when you need to move

sure sometimes it is useful but your toon probably can be killed while bandaging, easier to heal and drink

after all you have to keep in mind if any dot is up - effect will be lost, isnt healing easier after all...

also I dont know if you can make macro which allows to press like "fireball" keys for all toons so it wont interrupt FA casting

A) Unless you have a mage, and especially if you're only gonna drink to recover heal mana, it's a waste of water

B) Sitting is death for a caster, 1.5 second silence, damage mod against, etc.

And if I have a DOT on one of my chars I might renew and eat and drink to minimize the time sitting.

not every situation in which you need to recover HP is critical. there are any number of situations where it might be preferable to bandage over sitting to drink or using a castable heal. you might be short on mana, you might still be combat flagged and unable to drink, your healer might be unable to cast..

all first aid does is provide you with another option.. which is a good thing.
