    Need Clarification On Scholar Spells

    I'm leveling Scholar* and it's been both challenging and fun! However, I'm confused by guides on Youtube.

    All the guides say to cast Aldo on the tank pre-pull. But, the description of the spell states that Galvanize and Catalyst strengths are 125% of the HP restored.

    Since the tank has full health pre-pull, this means zero HP is restored, right? So, wouldn't it be better to wait for the health of the tank to drop a bit before casting Aldo on them?

    *level 53!

    It's 125% of the total healing done (including overhealing) so you'll get the full effect even if they're full HP

    Thanks! That makes more sense.

    The wording on the tooltip is incorrect then. It should read ... 125% of the strength of the heal.

    Not necessarily incorrect, just potentially misleading since the spell will always "restore" HP, it just "restores" HP that didn't actually need restoring.
