Just curious... level up First Aid ?

[marvein]

Unlike most people, I choose not to blow 20 minute cooldowns in order to down a boss. I also like to stay away from using pots -- I'll typically only use them on my main (tanking paladin) in dire situations.

Not everyone is going to have an earth elemental or 4 or 5 at their disposal.

This is just general common sense, people. "Hai, I'm too lazy to use these ten billion stacks of linen/wool/mageweave/runecloth/netherweave I've been collecting in order to do a one-time leveling process of a very easy profession that may someday save my life. Ah, f*ck it, I'll just sell it on the AH for a couple gold."

I had that mentality and right now I regret not leveling it. That's my opinion. I believe it's useful in more than one situation, and you'll regain the costs from the cloth.



And fur, the rez moment I'm thinking of is when a group of 70's steamroll me out of the blue, and they're sitting there camping me. I can rez at half health, insta-gib one with 4 chain lightnings out of nowhere, and maybe kill the others... By the time that's done, I have just a couple secs to heal to full and rez any of my chars who have died (since they were at half health and totally unbuffed) and I'm oom by the time the enemy runs back to their bodies and rezzes again. That's time better spent using a bandage so that you're at 100% health once they return and you can b*tch slap them to oblivion again. Very useful.

I guess I forgot to mention one of my 70s is a 375 alch/herb so potions are a plenty. Using 5 potions(1 each) per instance run @70 for only one boss in one instance (the MC boss in labs) is hardly very expensive, especially when compared to the cost of leveling 5x first aid on price inflated old world mats(I can buy mats off the AH and make 20x super healing pots for the cost of 4 stacks of wool cloth atm and im not potion spec...wtf?). I do get plenty of cloth while leveling but it certainly isnt enough to level 5 characters with. I still dont ever plan to level it unless one day im sitting there going "wow I have a lot of spare gold what should I do? Oh I guess ill level first aid now"...



*edit* reincarnation is a 20min cooldown too... And I dont sell hardly anything at all. In my entire wow career I would say I keep/recycle 95% of what I get. Cloth is stored for leveling tailoring and first aid. All greens (except for the very few good ones like 'of the bandit' type) are DE'd and stored for leveling enchanting/getting enchants. Leather is collected and stored for getting items made and leveling LW(going to be doing this x5 later on), greys are vendored, duh. scrolls/potions/buffs are kept and used when running instances to..well..buff myself lol.
