Armorsmithing isnt keeping pace with my leveling

[Deathwhisper]

no matter how many boots i somehow transmute into cloth i can never find i use for armor smithing

It simply does not level quick enough to keep pace with the vastly superior market place equipment

That's true indeed. The only useful gear that armorsmithing gives you is heraldic mail, but by the time you get it you'll probably be commando already.
