What are the categories of character skills in World of Warcraft?
Skills are grouped into several categories: professions, secondary skills, weapon skills, class skills, armor proficiencies, and languages. Your character’s skills can be viewed on the skills tab of your character sheet. Professions are the major trade skills available to all classes, such as tailoring and mining. A character can only have two professions at any given time. Secondary skills, such as fishing and first aid, are also trade skills but have no restriction on how many can be learned. Weapon skills include all weapons that a character is able to use. Many weapon skills need to be learned, as your character only starts with a handful of skills he can learn. Class skills are determined by your character class (granted at character creation) and are an integral part of your character. Armor skills are known from character creation, or received from trainers or talents. Language skills are assigned at character creation and do not change.
