Skill Leveling?

I know that your skills will level if you have it on your bar...but my question is, will it go up if on your secondary bar? In other words, if I normally have Bar 1 active, will skills on Bar 2 level when not active?

On a side note, will a skill that passively adds to say, health and stamina regen, actually do that if on your inactive bar?

    The non active bar does not gain xp. Only your active bar does.

    So I suppose that means a skills that boosts regen of some sort needs to be on active bar to actually regen? It can't be sitting on your inactive bar?

    If it has a passive 'on your bar' effect, yes. If you're talking about something like using the regeneration ability from the restoration staff (that puts a heal-over-time on you) you can use that from your alternate bar and switch to the main, and preserve the effect. You still won't get restoration xp for a kill/quest turn-in though since that ability isn't on your active bar.

    Sorry no, I meant that I have a skill that regens health and stamina passively by just being on my bar and then has a better affect when activated. In that regard, I was just wondering if the passive regen would still work if sitting on bar currently not in use?

    The passive effect will only work if the skill is on your active bar.

    I.e. there's a Nightblade passive that gives you extra bonuses only if you have active spells from that line in your bar. The active spell will have to be on your active bar -- if you switch away to your alternate weapon, the extra bonus will stop until you switch back.
