Guild Wars 2

Exotics are the best gear in the game. Crafting lets you make exotics with specific stats. If those are the stats your going for then you can craft your way into the best gear. EXP Glass cannon armor Power/Precision/Crit damage is crafted. However buying a full set off the TP will be cheaper then leveling it. Benifit of leveling a crafting skill IMO is to either A. Go for legendaries, B. Make money. There is a option C which basically is you leveled Jeweler and cooking for 20 free levels of exp. (Went from 71-80 leveling cooking from 30-380)

“Best choice” really depends on play style. For me dagger/dagger 1-80 melee mage with primary being fire
