Synergistic Profession(s): Mining
Previously: There used to be a quest where a Blacksmith could specialize in Armorsmithing or Weaponsmithing. With Cataclysm these specializations have been removed and all Blacksmiths will have access to the same recipes from the trainer. Hopefully they, or replacement specializations, will be restored someday. If they do that perhaps they could add more useful mid-level items.
Profession Perk: Blacksmiths can add a gem socket to bracers and gloves. With the introduction of the new epic gems in 4.3 this makes Blacksmithing the best of the min/max professions, since you will be able to slot two more +50 gems, giving this profession a +20 total stat bonus (+100 total, from two epic gems) over all the others (which are all about +80 total bonus.) As of 4.3 those gems are extremely expensive, so it might be a moot point.
Recipe Note: Trainer recipes, as of 4.3, only go up to item level 359 for Pve items and 377 for Vicious (PvP) gear. Higher level recipes, such as Brainsplinter and Foundations of Courage, are found elsewhere.
