It does if you craft your own gear. In which case:
ARM - main hand
BSM - Secondary tool
WVR - Left side
LTW - Left side
CRP - Right side
GSM - Right side

* You can also add ALC in there as well if crafting your own capstone gear.

OP, it's best to look at crafting as the tools you need more so than individual classes. And to be honest, you need them all.
