Axing immune mobs
Description
***AREA EXPLORE (not that informative, but snip if you want/need to)***
See following: in Trothon, switched to axes late in a fight, didn't notice immediately mob was immune to primary wield, overhead goes through for damage anyway but I don't learn the skill because mob is immune to damage type. Not sure if the bug is with the skill or something to do with immunity?
Thanks

For example, you can't learn anything (even while not in combat)
while wielding a weapon you don't know how to use or while fighting an
opponent immune to your attacks.

No, the overhead is a strike with the mainhand (that the mob is not immune to) but because the mob is immune to the offhand attacks, it triggers the no skill gain.
