master weaponsmith-master smuggler artisan 4040 merchant 3001
lets you sell faction with your weapons and you get to slice everything yourself
and the feign death is awesome when your setting up harvestors and you get argoed
you get 4 vendors and can register on the planetary map
works for me

Well my WS is my alt, so I don't really need her for combat. She's...ummm...4040 Artisan, 3002 Merchant, MWS and Master BE. I may be off a box though. 
But that's basically it.

@Osnin:
No, I have 3 accounts, this here with WS/DE, another pure crafter as SW/AS (well, and politician *gg*) and a third (fun) account with a former TKA/Smuggler/Pistoleer, now only Smuggler/Pistoleer and some BH.
Anyhow: The order I gave in mentioning the accounts is the order of my playtime - Guul as MWS/MDE is the main character and I like being a pure crafter. There is no need to get active help from my PA usually because I am able to handle my harvesters alone with help of some replacable combat droids at least. Or to be more precise: I was unguilded for a very long time and had fun crafting and selling weapons, talking to customers, handling harvesters etc alone. Its not fun for everyone and some of my WS-customers (maaany of DE-customers) are sometimes ... mmmh difficult because they don't know what they want or demand the most stupids things you can think of:
Customer: you are a master weaponsmith ?
I: (checking if the MWS tag dissappeared because of any patch/bug/whatever - of course not... now thinking about !"E"§$) Well... yes!
Customer: I need a weapon!
I: fine - what kind ?
Customer: I need the best pistol you can make !!!
I: fine - define "best" for your need and I can craft it.
Customer: (after a while) I need a (insert a pistol here) - but I want the best you can do.
I: fine - and now tell mewhat is "best" for you, please. (now following a long one sided conversation about different experimentations and possible results etc.)
Customer: aaah okay (now telling exectly what he needs - that should be the "best" for him I think)
I: (starting to craft) (finishing - handing to customer) One question finally: Do you think crafters on Wanderhome do not use the best resources available ? only asking because you asked for the "best" - I dont know any crafter who used lowend resources, we all do our best.
Customer: mmm hhh welll aaaah (now it becomes interessting and following topic varies)
Thats one type of conversation 90% of the crafters already had. Its not a problem, it can become really nice finally 
Being a pure crafter is being a pure crafter. You do alot customer relations, some advertising if you like, whatever. Its more social than you might think - if you live the life of a pure crafter.

Here is what i cant decide:
MWS, MAS, Merchant 4044, Artisan 4144, Scout 0010
Merchant 4044 will allow me to havea decent amount of vendors, allow me to dress them and still give me the planetary visibility I want. The scout skills will help harvest corpses for hide for Asing
MWS, MAS, Merchant 3044, Master Artisan
Ill have to buy my hide from the masses, but I will be able to create swoops and master artisan stuff.
Any recomendations?
I would go the artisan route. Don't forget power ups with those vehicles. I am upset that I had to drop it for a combat prof (Smuggler or Rifles, haven't decided yet) to be able to do stuff on Kashyyyk. I bought the expansion on my wrong account. I look like MWS/MSm Artisan 4/0/4/0 and Merchant 0/0/0/3. Does your alt have room for scout?
BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He has 19 skill points I havent decided what I can do with.Looks like my temp worries are over.....(for now). BTW Accamim, Wookieluv recommended you as a great mentor for WS. Any chance I can ping you with questions as they come up?

Master Weaponsmith/Master Artisan/Master Merchant/Novice Armorsmith/Novice Pistoleer
I use merchant to handle all my sales of weapons/power up/artisan crap/swoops/loots/enhancements/pearl and tissues/resources and I also sell smuggler supplies since my alt is master smuggler. Novice armorsmith allows me to make armor upgrade kits and Novice pistoleer is to at least allow me to keep the low level mobs from killing me when I survey or go to my factories in my back yard.
Good Luck with your temp.
