Not sure what you mean by Trade skills.
For early PvE and leveling I recomend you train the Jalis legend. It will give you access to vengful hammers which is a very good damage reduction, healing and additional damage all in one skill. Its heal skill also cleanses conditions in case you need it, though in open pve it’s not often.
Training shiro will give you access to quickness, a good stun break and a very strong elite skill that stuns 5 enemies near you every 5 seconds if you need it.
Personally when leveling I prefer to use condition damage builds since they generally require less stats to do decent damage at low levels
Try something like this:
Use a mix between dire and rampager gear to get a decent ratio between direct damage and condition damage with enougth crit chance to proc the effects. Use and abuse the AoE from mace and axe (plus Unyielding Anguish from Mallyx) to engulf the foes in ~40 stacks of torment and let them die while you run them in circles. Use the staff for defense and cleansing and Shiro for mobility.
Once you reach 80 work on the Herald to get Glint and replace Shiro and Devastation. For high end content you should replace the stats with viper, sinister or trailblazer.
trade skills, umm, the 2 things I get to make, like armorsmith stuff like that. I was told if I picked 2 good ones for my class they help me out somehow.
Also I’m alittle confused on what weapon I should be using.. Is it the mace?

Let’s say you see a bunch of enemy foes while being in Shiro: use axe #5 to cc them, then use axe #4 to teleport to them, swap to Mallyx to recover energy, land Unyielding Aguish, then cast mace # 2 and mace #3 and finally spam mace #1 until your energy lets you to cast UA again. At that point everything should be dead.
thank you, but do my 2 trade skills “making things” like weaponsmith add anything to me?
No not really, crafting isn’t really a big part of the game other than to get ascended gear (and even that you can get through other means)

Leveling those skills to 400 will provide you enough xp to rise 20 character levels (which isn’t too relevant because in this game everything gives you xp). At 400 you will be able to forge any heavy armor of exotic quality from any stats you chose after learning the proper recipe (having the materials). That will save you some gold in relation with the Black Lion Market, and you also can use mats to craft those pieces as sell them for a benefit. The same happens with armosrmith (also, any character can learn the 8+1 crafting skills, is only that you can’t have selected more than 2 at the same time and rotationg between skills outside of the 2 active ones has a cost).
But the real reason for people to rise their crafting skills is to level them to 500 to be able to forge ascendant armors and weapons, to not rely in random drops. You can also use your mat surplus to sell ascendant components at decent margins. High level crafting is needed to craft the post-HoT legendary weapons, also.
Thank you so much. I was wondering why it seemed very important, I will just not fool with it and sell mats
For leveling purpose I recommend Mace/Axe and Hammer. Mace for fire field and might stack explosion combo, axe for teleport behind mob. Hammer for attacks from a distance. Until you get the elite spec, selfheal is really low due to crappy regens only and the need to get used to the tablet if you use Centaur stance.
Leveling feels like Warrior, although a bit better.
