The Shai started off with Pro level on a couple of skills but the recent change to sharing life EXP across classes wiped that out.

Although she has some skill buffs it would be nice to offset that loss somehow.

Maybe one step up on those skills above the family average or something.

The Shai is a great class for those who like to just lifeskill and occasionally dip into other activities but that's the thing that kept me playing this game since Beta, the extraordinary amount of things there were to do and learn with the life skills. No one else has done anything like it.

I think with that you have to ding a level above Shai to get the benefit across all characters ( That was a complained about issue when shared lifeskills was introduced). Hopefully this knowledge helps you out.
