I requested his services today. First I asked him about how it works and he told me about his knowledge of shaman buffs and intentions and specialty in weapon skills training.
When I asked how much, he did not name a price but rather asked me to only give what I thought was fair for the service. So that is pretty cool of him. And he did not ask or require anything up front, he trusted me and was willing to just go ahead and start helping me.
He was in fact knowledgeable about all the buffs possible to use as shaman to raise stats as high as possible to help speed up the process, including some of my own spells (Cleric) like Yaulp which increases STR and Atk.
He was good about making sure Haste and Regen were up too to keep the pace at maximum efficiency.
My task was rather short and I only needed 30 points left to max Offensive, but being a Priest class with low dex and Atk and hard pressed to find hastes without getting strange looks, this had previously proven a VERY slow process to do.
So with his help, I was able to focus on solely meleeing a mob and occasionally casting a Heal over Time on myself to remove the need for any downtime medding during or inbetween pulls.
It only took about 1 hour to finish 30 pts in Offensive which for a Cleric I consider pretty good, instead of like 1 pt in an hour of a group in which I am mainly supposed to be healing.
So this worked out good for me.
My only negative feedback was that it was kind of a sloppy start, as we tried to start out training at KC entrance, and this led to 3 deaths and 3 rezzes that he needed me to do before we got going and I was having to focus on heals a bit much.
But once we got out of KC ent area and away from trains, it was much faster and safer.
The other thing is that his typing grammar and spelling were a little choppy and confusing at times and could use some work. I know I accidentally transpose letters incorrectly myself sometimes, so I am really sorry if english is not first language or dyslexia, I really mean no offense. So my constructive feedback would be working on spelling and grammar could help improve the communication I think.
All In all, I am satisfied with the services and tipped him with gear+PP totalling around 1K+ for an hour+ of work which I thought was fair.
Would use again for this type of service.
If anyone wants to ask me questions in tells, I am willing to elaborate more on my experience.
Thanks again,
Long live BATTLE CLERICS!
