Pole: Havy or Light?

Please, explain me plus and minus each choice.

not much to explain here, really.

Light has less defence than Heavy.
Heavy has way less evasion than Light.

Heavy is good for classes with heavy masteries (tanks), Light for Rogue type of classes (archers, daggers, etc).

...and that's all folks

in a pole party if you plan on getting hit you wear heavy

if you pole is an heavy armor a must.
dont wear light.

My thoughts is that if you plan to pole small groups (3-4) of green mobs, light can also be an option. The +6 evasion and the lower attack power of mobs can compensate for the less Pdef. My dwarf poled alone easily in NoS with salamander.

Unless of course you have a DEX tat and an EE in party. Then Light can be effective also.

This only works, however, if you get light armor masteries, ie. warlord, warsmith, destroyer, in addition to your polearm masteries. If you are missing either pole skills or light armor skills, then you will want to use heavy armor.

Also, VR is generally a necessity in Pole parties, although it can be avoided if your puller pulls properly and you have a good healer.

I like heavy the best. Humans don't have such high evasion in my opinion to take light armor with pole.
