1) Exotic skill is 3% per level, and doesn't depend on class, to my knowledge.
2) A low level character will not do quite as well with high level weapons as a high-level character would. (This is why jewelled broadswords are so great at the middle ranks- the stats are decent, but they're low level as well.) As your level approaches that of the weapon, you will use its full potential. The reverse is not true- if you are level 51, and using a level 10 weapon, you do so as well as a level 10 character would. I assume it's a code feature to prevent level 11's from looting monster avg 31 +6/+6 weapons and wreaking havoc on people with 150 hit points.
> How does one become better at exotic weapons? do you have to use that weapon more thatn other weapons to get to know it better. My warrior found one but It seems pretty weak now but everyone I ask in the game say it is a excellent weapon to have. How do I get more proficient with it?
