Does anyone know of an addon that basically adds small xp bars that shows Weapon Skill progress? I was watching a vid of someone playing and he had small xp bars on his screen that showed his Weapon Skill increasing as he used the weapon. Does anyone know what addon this was? Or one similar. It basically took the Weapon Skill bars from the Skills Tab on the character screen and put them in his UI, and as he used the weapon you could see the bar increasing as it gained “xp” toward a skill up.
that sounds incredibly superfluous. the paprika of addons
Doesnt the K key show all your skills? Or is it U.

It is superfluous. One thing I forgot to mention was that it told you exactly how many mobs of the type you last killed you’d need to max your skill. Completely unnecessary. But it was the first time I saw the addon and it made me curious.

“Doesnt the K key show all your skills? Or is it U.”
I didn’t know this. That’s good enough for me. Thanks man.
Not me I still want the addon. Instead of saying how unhelpful it is, does anyone know the name of it?
I do not believe the weapon skill system works like that.
Someone can correct me, but I believe it is every hit with a weapon has a chance to give a skill-up, modified by intelligence in some manner, with the higher your skill the lower the probability of success.
I’m an altoholic, so I am often leveling up a new weapon. I just turn on “skill-ups” in my chat window options (the 3d panel), and use that.
Your weapon skill is capped at 5 times your level. Level 40? It’s 200.
Once you’ve used that kind of weapon a couple hundred times, it is within 4 or 5 points of that max. It will stay there until you go up a level (and add 5 more points to the max). So it only matters if you are leveling up a new weapon type that you haven’t used before.
For example, today my 31 Shaman took the talent for 2H axes/maces, and bought a 2H mace. I’ll have to find some easy mobs to fight, to skill it up. That will only take about 15 minutes. Then it will be “within a few points of max” and fully functional as a weapon.
Right. I was referring to there being some kind of weapon XP that you had to accumulate for a skill up.
