Was much importanT;
So is of + noun <<< is right, see
http://dict.youdao.com/search?le=eng&q=be+of&tab=&keyfrom=dict.top
But you should note that not every noun can be used this way, roughly the abstract nouns can. Like 'be of value', 'be of help', 'be of significance' etc. So 'be of noun = be adjective (of the noun)' eg importance vs important.
