i do agree that scholar cant aoe heal spam and could probably use a buff in its healing or mp costs, but so far aoe heal spam hasnt been needed most of the times (and besides, you have a cohealer. if a fight is seriously so heal intensive that you need to desperately aoe heal spam its not like youre going to be solo healing it or dual sch). as for mp efficiency, indom and lustrate "cost" 1200 mp (that aetherflow stack could be used on an energy drain, which gives 1200 mp). so you have scholar with an instant aoe heal for 1200 mp. helios costs 1440 and medica 1680. you also get deployment tactics aka 300 potency aoe "heal" for 1800mp or 900 potency if the adlo crits. whispering dawn is a completely free medica 2 (and you can rouse it so it does 40% more every single time).

for single target healing theres also the fairy (nerfed, granted, but its still completely free 250 potency healing every 3 seconds. over a minute thats 5000 potency per minute which is way higher than essential dignity or tetragramaton) and fey union, a 480 potency REGEN on a single target. and adlo might cost 600 mp more than a lustrate, but since it can crit and double its shield effectiveness its probably a fair tradeoff

the cost for succor though... i dont know why its so high
