The Profession Gear Gap

[Jpec07]

While your gear may be lacking, it sounds to me like your skills are lacking even more. <snipping elitism>

You want my thoughts? Quit trying to be a specialized crafter for a moment. To be an effective specialized crafter, specializing in Armorer and/or Blacksmith, you need the skills of an Omni-crafter. And, to dramatically reduce costs, you need the skills of an Omni-gatherer too.

So...you're telling me that the crafting classes cannot stand alone and aren't BUILT to stand alone, and that in order to effectively use them I NEED to grind out all of the other DotH classes? I refute your claim, sir.

I was doing just fine making HQ items up until 50, but the first HW tier is too highly-tuned to allow a smooth transition while leveling. It assumes I'm going to spend time at 50 to go 2.0-2.55 like I did my job, and I don't have the time for that (call me casual if you must).
