Skill leveling
From what I can tell so far. Its a really bad ideal to switch out weapons at low lvl.
what I mean is.
I started out using 2hs then thought hmm let me try using a bow instead, what I think I found out is, my skill in 2hs fell behind from using the bow to long and my bow skill was low from not starting out with it in the 1st place. I felt I was doing way less damage. lots of deaths (I may be wrong here. not sure)
Class skill will not raise until you have a skill from that tree on your hot bar.
Is this true?

Yes. It is good to buy 1 skill from each tree and put it on your bar in the beginning. Also, put soul trap on your bar to level World Magic.

Inversus✭✭✭✭✭Class skills only increase when they're on your bar.
Weapon skills increase when you read certain books, use the weapon and slot the abilities.VR14 EH Sorc

Xionar✭✭✭Yes that is true, a skill must be on your hotbar, for that skill line and skill to level up. You could technically put a skill from both weapons on your hotbar even if you're not using that weapon and it will level it. This helps if you're planning on using both weapons in the future with weapon swap. Although it does take up a slot on your bar.0 -
Seraseth✭✭✭✭I did that with my mage, put a dual wield skill on my bar while running around with a bow. Kept them both leveling about equal.0 -
ok on my class skills. I had 2 skill lines I was lvling up. one skill line was lvl 7 and the other was lvl 13, both skill lines where on my hotbar, why did one skill line lvl up faster? started both lines same time at lvl 3 . both the skill where on hot bar... dose it mater how many skill you have bought in a skill line?0

Seraseth✭✭✭✭If you have more than 1 skill on the bar from the same skill line, it will level faster.0
