Furniture tradeskill- will it [Removed for Content] my swash?

[rangerhank]

    starting up a swash. most posts i've read suggest alchemy for poison making, but i'm seriously considering the furniture making tradeskill for some non-combat gameplay flavor. the swash will likely be my main, doubt i'd have time to level an alt to make poisons for him. am i just gimping my character? <div></div>

<DIV>Mine's a carpenter, and I don't feel it's gimped her.  And my alchemist alt isn't high enough to make T7 poisons yet.  Any poisons I need right now I can buy on the broker.  Likewise with most anything else I need.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Tradeskilling can be very mind numbing at times, so I think you're best off picking a profession you think will be fun for other reasons.  If being able to make furniture yourself sounds like fun, then run with it.  If making your own poisons so you don't have to buy them from others sounds like fun, then go with that.  Neither is really game breaking with the way the live servers are.</DIV>

I picked carpenter for my tradeskill because:A. I don't really like to tradeskillB. Decorating my house is MUCH easier if I can make my own furniture.C. I needed to do <b><i>something</i></b> in tradeskilling to finish the KoS Heritages.D. Repair kits cause I die too much =PBut anyways, it doesn't matter if you pick the wrong tradeskill, that's what alts are for.

I am thinking about woodworking so I can make totems. Don't really care too mauch about what the totem does, I just want to be able to shapechange into different things. The stats/abilities are nice, but not as much fun. I am also hoping that more thrown weapons will make it into the craft.<div></div>
