Blacksmithing Specializations: enumerate the upsides

Recommended Posts

I'm looking at someday (someday...) wanting to do Blacksmithing Specializations for two of my characters ... my Paladin and my Warrior (naturally).  Leaving aside the downsides for each Specialization, such as the fact that Armorsmithing will require utterly ridiculous quantities of Mithril and Truesilver to complete (I know, I did it a decade ago), I'm more interested in learning about the upsides of the various options.

To be more specific, I'm pretty sure I want to go with Armorsmithing on my Paladin again, but am having second thoughts of the need/advantage for going Armorsmithing on my Warrior, due to anticipating Rage Starvation from having "too much" armor (as paradoxical as that sounds).  Which then brings into question ... what ARE the benefits of going with Axe/Mace/Sword Weaponsmithing?  I mean, I know that there are Bind on Pickup items that you can only get from being a Weaponsmith or Armorsmith, so I'd appreciate receiving a bit of a rundown on what pieces of itemization are to be found along each of the options, and what (if any) synergies those options offer for different build styles used by the Mail/Plate wearing classes.
