Is Bind Wound worth learning for a Shadowknight?

[Jimjam]

I've taken a look at the wiki and regretfully report the listings for bandage type items is not extensive.

For example, Aloe Swatches are sold in the iksar newbie yards (iirc, will check) and yet are not listed. I suspect in turn many bandage vendors are also missing.

It seems, rather than trusting the wiki, a certain amount of in game knowledge is currently required to be able to get best usage out of bind wound in terms of keeping supplied.

But a new player, with little money, and not a lot of knowledge, is going to have a lot of logistics problems when dealing with bandages. This is especially true if you are evil.

Every single magician I asked for bandages was very helpful. Sometimes I got them in 100% bags as well. If you can't afford them, ask them. Later on use your copper/silver to buy them.

Or you can take the radical time investment of leveling your own mage bandage maker to lvl 4...hell, if you play an extra hour and get him to 8 he can also drop them in weightless bags for you.

Monks can eventually get https://wiki.project1999.com/Small_Manisi_Plant to summon their own.

I agree that BW is worth it for every single class.

So what do you recommend I do then, start using Bind Wound anytime I'm below 50% on my Paladin? The mob I'm camping has a tendency to bring me pretty low if I don't go ham with Expel Undead, and there's a vendor literally ten seconds away with Bandages at the ready.

For a paladin, you won't usually want to BW because either click healing or medding then casting heals will be better, but as some have mentioned there are situations that arise where it's dangerous to sit and/or cast spells because you'll get agro. Those are situations where BW really shines.

When is it going to be useful for a Bard that can just sit and play a lute with Hymn of Restoration?

[Kirdan]

What if that bard has to play invis song instead and breaking invis song = death?

I've been playing my Shadow Knight on P1999 since 2011. I level bind wound only through normal use. Even with as many years as I have on the character the skill is not at max--that's how infrequently I use it. I still carry some bandages for the rare occasions I use bind wound, but if I didn't I would not miss it overmuch. I don't think I leveled the skill at all on my Paladin.
