Is it really worth it to train the blacksmith?

Question

I've been training my blacksmith as far as I can for my current level (Im now Act 1 Nightmare, 34), I keep putting money and money on it,and I've barely used it!

Wouldn't it be better to take all that money I spend training, sell objects instead of giving it to him, and buy something nice in the AH?

Apart from buying stuff for my new characters, I dont see any other point on it.

What do you guys think? What's your experience, specially in higher levels?

Answer

You can make a very strong case that for the majority of users buying gear from the AH will put you further ahead as opposed to levelling up the blacksmith.

However, this relies on the prices in the auction house remaining low.

The best gear that the blacksmith produces is certainly being hoarded by those who have invested the time and effort to generate it or will be offered for sale at an enormous price.

In the short term, yes, you can do better in the AH under the current economy.

In the long term, dependant very strongly on your luck in crafting equipment with the stats you are hoping for, the blacksmith may become your better source of equipment as the best Legendary items will almost certainly be absurdly priced.
