Class Specific Ratings for Cure Wounds
Alchemist artificer: You already get access to healing through healing word and your elixirs, so only pick this up if you're going to be the party's dedicated healer.
The Celestial warlock: A staple healing spell that is very unusual for Warlocks to possess. Unfortunately, it’s touch and costs a full action. Scales well with levels.
