Is there any advantage to having more than 2 disciplines. I know crafting comes into legendary gear, but aren’t most legendary items weapons? Should we always choose weaponsmithing? I’m obviously missing something.

The advantage is kinda obvious – you can craft more things. If you have a warrior, for example, you could benefit from armorsmith, weaponsmith, huntsman, jeweler and chef.

Not all legendary weapon requires you to be a weaponsmith. For example if you’re after the legendary shortbow, then you’ll need to have huntsman and jewelcrafter crafting discipline instead.

The link above is a good guide in telling you what you need to craft the legendary weapon you’re after.

Crafting is also a great way to level. If you happen to have a lot of crafting mats from mapping it can really be cheap too.

I mainly use the crafting as a way to gain levels. For the most part it is a long term gold loss as crafting is very hard to make profitable. But the exp gained is great.
