Want to save people's lives? Want to cure poison and heal grave wounds? Become a Physician! This secondary skill allows you to create various bandages that can be used to help yourself and other players. Physicians create bandages and apply them to other players that are wounded. You must have the first aid skill to apply a bandage to another player.
The benefit of this skill is the ability to heal yourself (and others) using items created from ingredients you are finding anyway while you are killing monsters. You might be throwing these first aid ingredients away, but you should instead turn them into something useful.

Who should be a Physician?

Anyone can be a physician if they want to; however, this skill is tailored more towards classes without any healing abilities. Examples of non-healing-classes include Warriors, Hunters, Warlocks, Rogues, and Mages.

First Aid Basics

Physicians use cloth and other items to make various bandages and healing equipment.

Additional Information

Bandages are channel cast and heal over time. If the player bandaging or the player being bandaged is struck in combat, the bandaging effect ends. Either way, the target still gets the "recently bandaged" debuff.
Each player can receive treatment only once in a 60 second period.
The recipes for Heavy Mageweave Bandage, Runecloth Bandage, and Heavy Runecloth Bandage can be learned by visiting your faction's Artisan First Aid questgiver.
The minimum level for Artisan First Aid is 35.
