To continue the breed/proff debate

Can a level 200 nanomage trader be be able to make nearly every item in the game?

I'm really going between trader and engineer for my new toon, but just cannot decide what is best. Trader seems a little more "fun" to play, but Im really interested in tradeskills. Self reliance is important, and it appears that the trader is a lot more self relliant than an engy is (with maestros and all).

My goal, is to be able to make every item in the game with minimal outside help. Can this be done with a trader?

Thanks,

Yes.

Besides, playing a Engy to 200 is an excersise in mashocism.

Take my word, play trader:

Insane skills for your level.
You'll be able to pvp (and be uber!).
Someone actually would like your buffs
You got tradeskill buffs (and can cast them very early due to drains)
The difference between engy and trader is small (>20 pts).
