The two paths for a light armor thief seem to be:
- light armor, allowing you to smith your armor and the weaker weapons, but you will have to find the better ebony and daedric weapons
- heavy armor, so that you can find armor (or deal with low level armor) until you can make dragonscale armor, but you will be able to make the best weapons
Pick your poison, I guess. Light armor blacksmiths are in a bit of a tight spot. If you're powerleveling your smithing, I guess the right branch would be ideal so you can make both a daedric bow and dragonscale armor, but if you're taking it slow... you might want to consider the simple light armor route (probably more immersive, especially if you're planning to use the intermediate armors.).
