Game Mechanics: Weapon Skill-Ups bugged?

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.
