Which blacksmith specialization for tankadin?

[earelith]

Which bs specialization is better for human paladin? My main spec will be tank (dungeons and aoe grind, not gonna raid). But maybe i will try holy sometime..

I know engineer is better than bs, but i already had invest a lot in bs when i learned about it..

If you are looking to make your own gear, either Armorsmith or Swordsmith will work. That said, there is no BoP gear from any Smithing spec that you would want for preraid.

If you are simply looking to make cash, go Axesmith and sell Dawn's Edges to Hunters. That's how I made all my money for my epic mount on live, on a server where Arcanite was 50g a bar.

its not as if Blacksmithing is bad, its great for any plate user really. You will find great items in BS. Of course, engineering is hilarious because the utilities of grenades,trinkets, net-o-matic, and force Reactive Disk stacked onto an already heavy AoE kit.

I`m not sure if Sageblade is BoP when made, but if it is, Swordsmith would be awesome when its out. Especially seeing as mobs tend to have something like 10-20 holy resistance. Sageblade would offer to nullify that to give 100% unmitigated holy damage, seeing as it gives pen from your abilities. Not only that, it gives stam and spell power which are two useful stats for any tankadin.

Of course Armorsmith is nice too, but i believe a lot of what is made are BoE blues that can be traded/bought.

TL;DR Armorsmith or Swordsmith imo

I use Swordsmithing since it's got a nice Pre-Raid BiS tanking weapon.
