Bandage

A bandage is an item that can be applied to the using character or a friendly target (player character or their pet) that restores health over a period of time depending on the type of bandage.

Additional info:

• Bandaging has a cooldown timer of 60 seconds after you use it before you can use it again.
• Bandaging is a channeling effect. Taking damage while bandaging, be it from a direct attack or a DoT, will severely reduce the amount healed by interrupting the application of a bandage. However, unlike other channeled effects, damages absorbed by a shield will cancel it.

Most bandages are made using the First Aid profession. Some bandages are quest items.

Tips

These tips are mostly for classes without any other healing ability.

• Its a close fight. Health is low and healing potions are not an option. You need healing or you're going to die. Your escape path is blocked. What do you do? stun/root/sheep or otherwise render your enemy unable to attack you and then bandage.
• Beware, DoTs will interrupt a bandaging attempt, so don't use while under a DoT because it will still start the cooldown timer for bandaging and prevent you from using it if you need it soon after.
• Although wasteful, with good timing (and practice) you can bandage even while being attacked. The few hundred precious hps from a tick or two can turn the tide of a very close battle.
• Several bandages vendor for more than the cloth used to make them, so rather than vendor the cloth, make bandages and sell them instead.

Patch changes

• Patch 1.7.0 (2005-09-13): Effects that make players immune to physical will no longer be immune to the "Recently Bandaged" effect from First Aid.
