Game Mechanics: Weapon Skill-Ups bugged?

[Caridry]

Going to have to agree, skillups taking a painful amount of time going up.

I noticed one or two other things I thought might be bugs too. For example I died the other night and respawned with no mana.

I can also confirm that skill-ups are rarer than lottery winnings right now. Trying to keep 1hb and 2hb at max is impossible, I have both hovering around half of what they could be. I still need to add piercing into the mix, but am having a hell of a time just keeping up with the other two...

Leveling in Everquest is impossible (inb4 at this current xp rate lol).

same issue as all of the above posters on my warrior. i typically can only keep one weapon skill close to the max as i level up. and during a hell level i can sometimes get a second weapon skill close to caught up.

this is limited to weapon skills though. the other combat skills like offense, defense, dual weild, etc.. all seem to skill up fairly quickly. it is just the weapon skills that take an absurd amount of time to go up.

My Ogre warrior has over 150 dex unbuffed, he is level 23 now and his defense skill is like 20 points off max, his weapons skills suck as well and I am struggling to keep them up. I started working on 2hs myself and that went up like 7 points in a 2 hour period.

So I doubt this issue is based on Dex...I was starting to think it was int based.

Peace,

My ogre warrior is 19 and has 1HB and 1HS capped, 2HB is 50 and that took about an hour.
But when I got a VoG and shaman dexterity buff and with 232 dex I was getting 1-3 skill ups every mob. Please tell me you're not fighting red con mobs with an Oggok Cleaver.

The first 20 skill ups take longer than the next 80.

Lvl 22 shammy here. I've been trying to get a second weapon skill maxed since I hit level 12... I can keep piercing maxed, 1hb at cap-10, and 2hb at cap-50.

It is partly weapon based as my blunt weapons are trash. Still, I seem to cap piercing within the 1st orange bubble, and then the next 4 bubbles net at most 4 skill ups.

Coming back to EQ from a long time, now, I may just be retarded but I'm level 5 and my 1HB is still at (2) and hasn't skilled up once.. I put the 1 training point in it at the beginning, what's going on here? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Quite a few people seem to have experienced extremely slow skill-ups for weapon skills.

I can post some logs if desired.

My Warrior is lvl 6 and his defense and offense are still lvl (13) where as all my other skills are maxed at 30 and 35. I can train them and they just dont seem to be going up.

Whereas my lvl 9 druid has higher defense and offense than my warrior.

Definately some bugs there imo.

It catches up later just fine when the leveling slows down (Don't worry it will).

Also skill up rate is effected by DEX, so if your DEX blows that could explain it being under leveled pre-20.

Shouldn't be an issue after that as long as your putting any effort into keeping it capped.
