Skill window doesnt show proper values?

[Cippofra]

So right after i get a system message that my 1hb went up to 125 i check my skill window and it's at 90. Is this a bug? Which one is correct?

I think monks and rogues (maybe warriors) got higher caps per level on their weapon skills in the later expansions of Live, and that still happens on the client here. The skills are effectively capped at their correct values ((level*5)+5) but they'll continue to increase past the cap and the number in your skill window will turn red. It's possible to have your weapon skill insta-capped at its new value when you ding if it had artificially increased past its proper cap the previous level, but it'll never function above its classic cap. It's like a buffer that doesn't do anything except fill your cap out when it increases from dinging. You can cap weapon skills out a few levels ahead, but the excess points don't do you any good.
