Folks;
My main is a mage (though I'm loving my pally a ton!) and with a mage, you're an idiot if you don't have tailoring at 375 as there are some dead-easy epic mage cloth gear. I picked up blacksmithing and mining on my pally as he can wear plate and the like, so I figured it'd be a good fit. I was looking at some of the epic plate that can be crafted (some breastplates and such) and they look good, but are they better than, say, T4 and Kara gear? Now, my pally is only lvl 51 now, but leveling quickly and I want to choose the right specialization for him. Is there an obvious choice for pallies? I have looked in the tradecraft forum and get 2 answers... 1) Pally should do armorsmith because it rocks. 2) Pally should go weaponsmith because armor sux. Not sure which one is true there, so I figured I'd ask the Pally experts themselves.
Oh, end-game I expect I'll be either holy or prot, so that would be the kind of gear I'm looking at. I have noticed that already I have 2 sets of gear, tanking and healing (the tanking gear actually looks good, but the healing gear makes me look like I'm trick-or-treating as a priest/druid/pally).
