Scholars...why....

[stally]

i've healed haukke manor, brayflox's longstop, sunken temple, titan, and cutter's cry without an issue, if anything i wish our aoe heal was stronger

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'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.
