Is being a weaponsmith viable again?

    It's been a few expansions since a weaponsmith has been a useful tradeskill, does anyone who has started beta know if we will be able to earn some plat again with new weapons and will they be upgradeable ?

    Would be nice to make weapons again.

    Epic 2.0 is still BIS, not sure about ammo, I have not done beta yet.

    Since the expansion is introducing weapons that can "level" by gaining "experience", I think weaponsmiths are pretty much SOL except for providing low-level weapons, unless, of course, weaponsmiths get the ability to craft these experience-gaining weapons.

    As Melkior mentioned, Epic 2.0 is still gonna be BiS, so I guess there should be some investigation as towhether weaponsmiths will be able to create off-hand weapons for dual-wielders that will be worthwhile.

    A good idea is to make like the first couple levels for the upgradeable weapons require some type of crafting by the weaponsmith as a required pass through to the higher level upgraded weapons.
