First Aid Removal in Battle for Azeroth?

Recommended Posts

SV1yz61.jpg

It seems Blizzard plans to remove First Aid from the game in Battle for Azeroth or completely overhaul it.

In Alpha Build 26032, First Aid achievement have moved over to Legacy.

In addition to that, Deep Sea BandageDeep Sea Bandage and Sun-Bleached Linen BandageSun-Bleached Linen Bandage have been added to Tailoring instead of First Aid, which leads us to believe that Blizzard either plans to completely remove the now obsolete secondary profession or completely revisit it.

So many classes have some sort of self sustain now, I think it was the right call to do this. I'm not sure I can think of a single class without some sort of decent self protection.

Is it just me or did they buff out of combat health / mana regen significantly since the days of needing bandages on the regular basis?

ETA:  On top of the more common self sustains

I won't lie, I was made fun of relentlessly by my guildies when I rolled up a warrior and they caught me bandaging myself in the corner in during a raid boss, but I'll miss them.   The bandages, not the guildies.  F those guys.

An alternative solution they can try instead of eliminating first aid, would be to try making it not so useless - make a bandage actually heal a substantial amount, for example.  

I guess a big problem with providing any objective benefit is the devs then have to assume people will use it - and then they have to balance the game assuming they will - and then we all *have* to use them.  I'd rather they be something I can use between pulls while questing, and not another consumable I have to farm.

Oh well.  RIP bandages.

They should revamp it, like a way to get rid of debuffs. They could have antidotes that could remove poisons (sorry rogues) or bandages to stop bleeding (sorry again rogues, also druids). They could have also made it so you can craft an item that rezzes people instead of that engineering thing they got planned, giving everybody the opportunity to have a rez (though the first aid one would be a consumable item).

There's interesting things they could do with it. It would be a shame to lose it entirely.

Well, for me its upgrade it or get rid of it.  I was hoping they would choose upgrade.  Then again it would need major upgrades.  Actually, low level professions needs a LOT of work.  Items need to be upgraded in a major way.   It would be nice if they were simplified in the sense that, for example, to get from 1 -> 300 we don't need 5 types of cloths  - get rid of 1 or even 2 of them.  And for cooking, making it so that you can find recipes that match with the fishing / animals around your area would be nice as well.

So with BfA they anyways plan to squish profession levels overall from 0-100, instead of adding another 100 from 800 to 900. How it will look with crafting materials, we will see later :) i am excited.

Since they are squishing the professions i would like to see first aid to be ravamped. I would already be satisfied, if it just heals damn fast, so it is a quicker healing method compared to food. because food is just there for the buffs. (even though it would mean RIP Magefood)

Fingers crossed.  I am working on getting all my professions releveled after I switched all my professions to mining and herbing to get my finances in order.  I *HOPE* they get professions right - or kind of right - this time.

I also would like first aid to be revamped and made relevant.  More and faster healing, as you pointed out, for bandages, and insta-click  items to remove poison and other debuffs, along with more mobs that inflict poisons and debuffs in the first place.  Or, make these debuffs last minutes rather than seconds, in which case the first aid item would not have to be instant (but since you would be getting this debuff every time you attacked a new mob, these items would have to able to be mass produced).

Your post makes me more excited about BFA professions :) Well see how it turns out.

      We have another triple entry in the hotfix ledger, as Radiant Echoes gets more improvements in retail, while Season of Discovery and Cata Classic get additional class changes.
       August 7  (Source)
      Player-characters
      Steady Flight should no longer be removed after entering an Arena. Quests
      We tuned up the Prototype Shredder MK-03 so that “Eye for an Eye” can be completed. Radiant Echoes Event
      Increased Flightstone and upgrade Crest drop rates in the event. Reduced the HP scaling on all event bosses so that they should be killable in a more-reasonable timeframe. Developers’ notes: This includes both ‘minibosses’ (e.g. Hogger, Thorim) and final bosses (e.g. Remembered Onyxia, Ragnaros). Season of Discovery
      Hunter Heart of the Lion once again has a 100 yard range. Warrior The Focused Rage rune will now correctly reduce the cost of Meathook by 3. Cataclysm Classic
      Fixed an issue where Faerie Fire did not deal intended amounts of threat when used on NPCs targeting another unit.

      Due to a bug introduced with the War Within pre-patch, some players are receiving item level 250 gear from the weekly cache.
      We've seen numerous reports on Reddit and the official forums that the Last Hurrah weekly quest on live servers drop low-level gear for some players. Apparently, the bug was first introduced with the War Within pre-patch two weeks ago and still hasn't been fixed.
      Here's an example of a low item level drop from the Cache of Awakened Treasures by Omnifox.

      Week 2 brings quite a few changes, as Hunters in particular rise up, while Shadow has a really bad time. The top 3 remains the same and very consistent, so let's jump in and see what's going on.
      Warcraft Logs Points
      The below logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing, meaning they log the timed completion for the specs, with higher keys getting more points, obviously. The time in which the dungeon is completed is also a factor, but a much, much smaller one, as it grants very few points if you do it significantly faster than just any in-time completion. We're also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity, meaning the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
      All Keys
      95th percentile DPS
      The top 3 remains quite stable with the Evoker-Paladin-Warrior trio reigning supreme. We see the first change of the week right after that though, as Frost DK continues its upward march in dungeons as well as in raids, taking 4th from Elemental. Both DKs are on the rise, as Unholy also moves a spot up, taking advantage of Shadow's precipitous 5-spot fall to the bottom of the top 10. Arms remains stable as two Hunters burst in, Beast Mastery taking 8th and Marksmanship 9th, as Frost Mage disappears down towards the bottom. Speaking of the bottom, Devastation gets some new roommates there, as Outlaw and Destruction fall and give Enhancement and Feral a break.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      As with the top percentiles, the top 3 remains solid, but 4th is immediately changed, thanks to Shadow's massive drop in performance this week. The Priest loses even more ground here, falling 9 spots into 13th, opening 4th up for Arms. Beast Mastery moves even higher here, grabbing 5th and moving in front of Elemental and Frost DK, as Marksmanship brings up the rear and completes the Hunter sandwich in 8th. Affliction breaks into the top 10, just ahead of Unholy which dropped to the final spot.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Raw DPS U.GG DPS Rankings
      U.gg's rankings are based on actual DPS taken from Warcraft Logs data, focusing on the top players and span the past two weeks.
      Frost DK finds itself on top in the raw DPS rankings, as Augmentation isn't calculated properly here. Fury and Arms grab the next two spots, moving ahead of Ret, and the Fyr'alath wins continue in 5th, where Unholy finished the legendary axe streak. Even Survival joins the Hunter good times in 8th, where all three specs gather, just ahead of Balance who closes out the top 10.
      Mythic+ All Keystone DPS rankings by u.gg.
       
       
      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides (updated for the pre-patch), as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.

      MoP Remix characters that will transfer over to retail will receive a gear boost!
      With Patch 11.0.2 now live on Public Test Realms, you can copy over MoP Remix characters from retail! It appears all MoP Remix characters will receive a character boost so you can dive straight into action when the War Within expansion launches.

      We can't unfortunately log in to the game with the MoP Remix char on the PTR so we can't confirm the Item Level of gear for max level characters. However, keep in mind that the gear boost will scale with your level, so if you're below max cap, you will receive gear appropriate to your current level.
      When Can We Expect MoP Remix Characters to Transfer to Retail?
      MoP Remix ends on August 19, so we assume the characters will need to be transferred to retail by August 22 when Early Access begins.
