is the Skill Hunting title character or account based? If i wanted to get the title on my necro would i have to keep changing her secondary to cap the skills, or do the elites I've captured on other characters count?
I'm assuming that I have to keep changing her secondary, but i just wanted some clarification. I did look it up in the wiki, which said character, but it's been known to be slightly wrong so i though I'd double check with you guys.

It's character based.

Yup, it's character based. It's a real pain when you have to go up to Dradnought's Drift to get FoC, then almost all the way up again to get Punishing Shot, then almost all the way up again for Earth Shaker, etc.
Remember that some campaign specific skills are available to cap in EotN (assuming you have both campaigns) so that provides a better option in some circumstances.

wait till you have to cap shroud of silence from unwaking waters makes FoC seem easy

Pamelf, just a few words of wisdom from someone who just finished this title this summer.
1. Make sure you have a Signet of Capture equipped.
2. Make sure you have the correct secondary profession equipped.
3. Do not forget to capture the skill before mapping out.
All errors that I made off and on. Bring a friend when you can; it gets very boring after a while. Especially when you're working on the random spawns in Prophecies.
And I wish you great luck and many green drops.

At first those 3 tips from Darcy seem pretty stupid, but seriously, keep all of them in mind. All of them happened to me when capping aswel. Multiple times

Man, if I had a nickel for ever time I did one (or both) of those when skill capping..... Well, I'd have a LOT of nickels. This is probably the best advice for skill capping ever.

Thanks heaps for those of you who posted the advice. I totally can imagine myself making those mistakes. Constant repetition seems to breed sillyness.

@Ryker - oh, so true. Maybe a #4 Do Not bang your head against the desk when you find you already have that skill.
@Pamelf - I used Mapping Out to keep track of which skills I had already captured. But you have to update after every cap. Putting it off usually means you forget some.

After a few times of going after a skill I already had, I made an elite skills check list. It's attached here. It's a word document. Just print it up and keep it handy. Check them off as you get them.

I do use mapping out. I love that program, but thanks for the checklist Commander Ryker, I'm sure it will definitely come in handy!
You guys have been just great!!!

Time for a lock?
GL with your title(s).
EDIT:
Don't know if it's been mentioned yet (blame the beers) but also make sure to check the wiki as to other boss locations of the same profession/nearby zones with bosses of the same profession. Two or more skill caps in one run are are awfully nice.

i just finished this title yesterday none of the skills are that hard to get. FoC because of the spawn,Oath of Profanity in torment and his mob is made up of monks, MM's,mes,i used Mapping out makes keeping track of the skills you capped so easy

Last tip: if you're zoning from one explorable to another while capping, make sure your elite skills are in the correct order, so you don't lose the one you want to keep.
I made that mistake >.>

Sorry. I should've clarified better earlier. ^^

Just seconding all the other advice from people, mainly Darcy. Nothing beats the time my Me/Mo went up to cap Feast of Corruption >.<
"WTF WHY ARE THERE NO SKILLS HERE?!??!.........oh."

Yes, it does.
"Although a player may equip only one elite on their skill bar, using multiple Signets of Capture can allow the character to have multiple elites on their bar temporarily until they zone into another area. The elite skill rightmost on the skill bar will be retained. Note that Signet of Capture is a PvE skill, which limits it to a maximum of three signets per skill bar."
