Hey everyone. I just dinged my hunter alt at 80, picked up freezing arrow, and gave it a whirl in Ironforge, to see what kind of level 80 skill we got.
Anyways, when I fired it, my gun skill went from 394 to 395. No mobs, nothing. Took quick screeny (found down below) and ran to the AH to grab a cheap bow to see if it worked for other ranged, and I went from 351 to 353 in 4 shots of freezing arrow.
Yes, I realize this is a inefficient way to level wep skill, but if you're bored in a city, just grab another ranged wep that you want to skill up, and just fire a shot every CD. No harm, no foul.
I searched several different keywords, so I am fairly certain that this is not a repost.
