Medica II costs 300 more MP than medica, but with the regen the total potency is 700 compared to 300.

Just... why? It heals so much more for barely a higher MP cost. Even Astros are using their regens more than whms I'm seeing.
Probably because Afflatus Solace costs 0MP, 100% less than Regen, and heals for 700 potency as well, and nourishes the blood lily.

Or because Afflatus Rapture costs 0MP, 100% less than MedicaII, and heals for 300 potency as well, and nourishes the blood lily.

Or because Tetra costs 0MP, 100% less than Regen, and heals for 700 potency as well.

Or because Assize costs -500MP (read: it restores 500MP), infinitely less than MedicaII, and heals for 400 potency.

Or because Plenary costs 0MP, 100% less than MedicaII, and adds 200 potency to another heal.

Or because Asylum drops a basically free regen on the ground, costing 0MP (100% less than MedicaII), and nobody ever stands in it ever, and then you Rescue them into it and the run back out b/c they like dying, so you decide your mana is better spent on Glare, b/c you're not some AST or SCH peasant and you're far more interested in nourishing the blood lily than keeping an ungrateful player alive. :P
