Best blacksmithing path

Anyone have recommendations for which specialty is more beneficial for a a paladin late game, Armorsmith or weaponsmith? Also I’m sure one makes more money than the other? When it’s comes to weaponsmith I still don’t know which weapons to focus on either. So many choices!!

Correct me if I’m wrong, but the only noteworthy weapons from blacksmithing are nightfall and arcanite reaper, both of which are axes.

Engineering

Give me more than that tho I mean why is engineering bar none a must for paladins? It’s not only about a personal gain for me I also want to be able to make reliable money later on and I’m not sure but don’t most engineering recipes require you to have the skill to make it in order to wear it?? So that kind of negates most of a customer base

It’s just the best prof for everyone I think (mostly in terms of benefit to your character not necessarily profit, but I still think it’s more profitable than bs unless you have rare patterns like lionheart helm). You can make money doing stuff like making goblin sapper charges for people who have gnomish engineering, or higher level dynamite for people who can use the bombs but don’t have engi high enough to make them
