No. It will shield for the heal, including the overheal.

oh really then they should change it so it only shields for hp restored that way surror shield isn't going to waste when using it multiple times in succession and having two scholars wont have wasted shields
That would only worsen the situation. At least now precasting succor will apply a shield to everyone. Currently 1 scholar can precast to top off health and shield and the other can follow up with another to heal and put on another shield for aoe attack.
Same with Adloquium, being able to cast on a full health target for the shield is one of its great uses.
We have Titan down with 2 SCH. L2p.
To expand a bit on what Kirathu has posted.
The FC I am in has killed up to and including turn 4 with two scholars; all server 1st. Is this combo better than 1 WHM and 1 SCH? More than likely not. SCH do have some advantages though that can be used.
Heres a better idea, if target currently has a shield, dont replace the shield rather the healing portion should just be doubled.
