There is something else about tenebrium vs weapon skill that has not been mentioned:
Tenebrium skill boosts the damage of every weapon proficiency, which in my opinion, is a big advantage in comparison to other weapon skills.
Yep, Tenebrium makes it really easy to switch between 1H and 2H weapons or have dex chars that are skilled with bow and dagger.
I believe that's at the heart of many complaints: that it makes skills like single-handed, two-handed, bow, and crossbow obsolete and a wasted investment. The two skills should compliment each other, in my opinion, not one making the other useless. A player with an investment in bow skills and the tenebrium skill should be more proficient with a tenebrium bow than a player with either skill alone.
I have to agree as well with that.
BTW, the normal weapon skills seem to work as well above level 5,just noticed when I reached two-handed 5 that there is an option for level 6 too. One less advantage for tenebrium, but another bad thing about spending points on non-tenebrium skills if you do not have 2 characters that use the same weapon type.
