Hey All,
Just joined today. Looks like a great resource here. I'm new to Diablo alltogether (Barb, lvl 22, Act III) and have a question I've been getting different info on.

Should I smith or not?

Some have said I should use my blue items for smithing, and others have said to just skip the whole thing because I'll never get as good a weapon from drops or the auction house. Any thoughts? Oh and there's gems too... any suggestions with gem crafting would be helpful as well.

Thanks!
