AoE healing is a balancing act for Scholars in 4 mans. Its based around use of your Lv 30 and 35 heals and then using the shield from those spells as buffer room to start patch healing with your efficient heal and the Fairy. I think Scholars are supposed to struggle with AoE healing because their mana returns are so vast that the only thing that can put a dent in their MP is damage spread throughout your party.

I managed to heal all dungeons fine. Dont need to cleanse the dots, easily heal through them.

Yeah definitely don't need to dispel poisons. The biggest issue I had pre 40 were paralyze fights, specifically the Chimera boss in Cutter's Cry I think it was? Throws a lightning ball at you that follows you, maybe it disapears after a while I haven't tested it enough but it basically 30sec paralyze you and that's extremely annoying since it makes you fail your heals repeatedly. But Brayflox was easy, even though the fight lasted forever cause the tank tanked the dragon in poison for about 5mins before he figured to move it, and I still had no issue keeping him up the entire time as well as healing the rest of the group.

I've noticed this as well.

Although Succor is weak in the amount of HP it returns, it still provides a light shield as well, and despite spamming it during Garuda, I never once struggled with MP. I was able to restore an incredibly amount of MP and keep a strong reserve of it through the worst parts of the fight as I Energy Drained her for even more MP. Succor was strong enough to keep the party alive through it all and shield them from damage as well. When a SCH needs to, they can protect their party from damage at the cost of their massive reserves of MP, just make sure you don't hit 0.

oi lol I must be the worst Scholar then~ I just dont have the mana to spam heal through double dots on people, and Aether flow only gives back enough mana for 4 small heals or 2 of the level 30 scholar heal.. for me anyway!

[Neasa]

You can't heal properly until 40? >.> Please just quit Scholar.

I do just fine thank you very much.

I've been doing pretty good so far. No trouble on anything until I hit The Aurum Vale. I only got to try the first boss once because the tank left, but my faerie almost immediately exploded from the stacking poison debuff...and you can't remove it from her. :/

lol I'm not the only one then, it happened twice to me exactly the same 1 dps left, one with BLM another with SMN, I have to admit though that fight is really tough, the hardest so far for me, almost always someone would get caught in AoE and if it's the bomb it's instant death (like me the first time I did the fight, my expectations were low because the 2 previous fights were very easy, then this...), the next dungeon (lvl 32) was easier =/ .
