In regards to weapon-swap and skill Exp

With weapon-swap, do skills gain Exp if they're on the hot-bar you aren't currently using? I hope that makes sense.

I'm just curious, because sometimes I have a skill on my bar I don't actually want to use - I just want to level it to IV, so being able to have a second set of skills I'm not necessarily using, but are gaining Exp would be cool.

Thanks.

    I do not believe so. I think that you need it on your active bar when you get XP for the power to get XP.

    However, you can basically have your second bar be powers that you want to level up, and switch to it any time that you're turning in quests.

    Nope, only the skills on your current bar are the ones gaining experience, thats why I'm using my 2nd bar for skills I'm trying to level up and 1st bar is for my usual skills.

    Alright, so using the second bar to level up skills via quests seems like the way to go.
