#Weapon #skill represents your proficiency with a type of weapon, and increasing your weapon skill reduces your chance to miss when attacking a target. ... At level 60, a character's weapon skill cap will be 300. Some items and racial abilities grant additional weapon skill, which can exceed the skill cap of 300.

'The easiest to get option is Mugger's Belt, which drops off Captain Kromcrush in Dire Maul North. It's arguably one the best options for weapon skill gear because belts have little stat budget anyway. Tanks can use it and a strong dagger like a Core Hound Tooth for threat tanking and won't notice the loss of tankiness from using a leather belt. Fury warriors can also use the belt and two good daggers to take the 'Rogue in Plate' meme to its logical conclusion. There's also Distracting Dagger, Aged Core Leather Gloves, and Circlet of Restless Dreams, but these are much harder to come by, especially Circlet of Restless Dreams since it's a world boss drop. You also face stiff competition for these because these are very good (arguably BiS level) for dagger rogues and warrior tanks with threat build.

Horde warriors can also opt to get an Obsidian Edged Blade and spec 2H fury and still deal solid DPS (or use any of the 2H axes from BWL and AQ40 if orc). Bonereaver's Edge is also a really strong option due to its overpowered proc. You are more dependent on getting Windfury Totem from a shaman than DW fury, but the payout is still huge.

Lastly, there's Expert Goldminer's Helmet. You lose out on being able to use some of the best helms in Classic such as Lionheart Helm or Helm of Endless Rage with it equipped and are pigeonholed into using axes. But you can make up for LHH with a Titanic Leggings as of Phase 5. Axes also have less loot competition than the other weapon types, and Phase 5 adds two axes from rep related quests in the raid zones which are good BiS options ( Blessed Qiraji War Axe and Sickle of Unyielding Strength).'
