Well, we all know the most popular skill being stacked by dexxers is swords. That makes the swords gear hard to find and also expensive. That's why some people stack other skills, makes sense until you aim for the highest weapon skill (which is only possible for magery&swords, due to special artifacts giving bonus to these 2 skills). Basically, if you stack any other weapon skill than swords, you might not be able to reach the same level maybe. But you will be able to have mid-end gear, way more easier
