Cataclysm Classic First Aid Profession and Leveling Guide

First Aid is one of the four secondary professions available to all players in Cataclysm Classic. As it is a secondary profession, it can be learned by all players without conflicting with other professions. The bandages it creates are themselves very useful as a Mana-free heal that can be used by any class. This is especially useful while leveling.

Healing from bandages works as a targeted channel-over-time. You can use a bandage on yourself, or a nearby ally. Any damage taken by the person being healed will completely stop the channel. After being healed by a bandage, you will get a debuff, Recently Bandaged, that prevents the use of bandages for 60 seconds.

In Cataclysm, you no longer need to visit different trainers to learn new ranks of First Aid. Every trainer will now be able to each you all ranks in any major city.

Angela Leifeld — Stormwind	Krenk Choplimb — Orgrimmar
Nissa Firestone — Ironforge	Pand Stonebinder — Thunder Bluff

Cataclysm also adds profession trainers in each starting zone, allowing you to pick up a profession right away rather than needing to reach a major city first.
