First Aid Profession being removed?

[Super Kami Dende]

Looking through the Spellchanges for Professions on the front page it seems that all Bandages have been removed from the First Aid Profession and are now made by Tailoring and all First Aid Achievements are being made Legacy.

Does anyone know or has heard if this is a step towards removing First Aid as a Profession? Or will it just be the Bandages?

Good. FA has been utterly worthless for years.

I hope not. Because if Blizzard removes a piece of profession gameplay then WoW will not be a Real depth MMORPG then.

the RPG aspect of WoW has been dead since Cata.

Needing to heal or drink between fights hasn't been a thing for many years. Every spec has some sort of recovery, and food/drink is really fast now too. Honestly I wouldn't give it to tailors either-- who needs a channeled interruptible heal when you can just drink an alchemist potion? Sure, they can differentiate them by making bandages bring you all the way to 100%, lower cooldowns, etc. But does anyone really care?

But but but, how will I complete all the old content that needs first aid? Must I become a Tailor?

Don't need a profession to use it.

When Deathwing shattered the world, the RPG aspect crumbled with it.

I think they will probably revamp than removing it completely...

[dementedturnip]

i thought they were moving it into the tailoring prof? or combining it somehow

[zutop]

They should just modify the FA Profession

[Reytag]

They should just leave it alone, its absolutely fine and simply an additional elective profession that is free for those that want it and not forced upon those that don't.

To remove it and incorporate it into other professions is just another minus in my book, don't fix that which isn't broken, heck, that which works quite well even.

[cfgepmd]

Just remove it. Great!

Didnt use FA for a 10y +-

I just wish they would get rid of First Aid training from my workplace, there is no sense of progression, it is just useless.

[Swindle]

Been redundant for years, all the better!

First Aid is getting a merciful end. All bandages are being folded into Tailoring and all salves/ointments/antitoxins are being folded into Alchemy. Honestly, this comes six years too late but better late than never.

First Aid isnt a flavorful profession. It's a profession that increasingly fell by the wayside as classes were adjusted and readjusted each expansion to be more self-sufficient with their mending and/or mitigation. As a rogue, why should I bother with First Aid when i have countless damage mitigation tools and can do better self healing through Crimson Vial and Leaching Poison?

Archeology is a niche profession that is purely optional and rewards those inclined to sink time into faux exploration and lore delving.
