So I have to focus on my healing, and hope my fairy heals the dps, until a point where the tank is fairly stabilized and I can spare 2.3s to cast and another 2.5s gcd.

    Let me just say in this case you should be manually controlling the fairy and telling her who to heal between your spell casts. If you leave Eos or Selene on auto and forget about them you are missing out on half of the Scholars power.

    That said, Succor has a place. Not a very big place, and usually only after you get a free proc of it. I honestly have no problem with its potency, but the cost for what it does is rather high.

    One of my favorite tricks as a scholar? Healing two people at the exact same time. try that as a white mage!

    ... and we have no almost no other alternatives for that place succor struggles to fill, other than single target healing as many people as possible as fast as possible.

    Succor's lack of potency is what makes the MP cost too high for what it does. Cutting the MP cost in half, doesn't really fix the above problem.
