Even if I have no living steel right now, by the time my engineer needs it ( in a month).. my alchemist will have created more than my engineeer needs ( because of transmute speciality). No matter how you look at it, the amount of LS being produced every day is going to be equal to or greater than the amount engineers could ever possibly be used just because of transmute procs.. but that also overlooks the obvious fact that there are way more alchemists than engineers and people have been saving LS before the patch.
Belt buckles, yes, but that is the same as every patch.. and then you have to remember that blacksmithing does not need living steel this patch. The items BSs make (555 gear) uses trillium.
On day 1, the only thing LS will be used for is belt buckles.
