Heavy or Light armor?

Hi, I have a blademaster. I'm putting half of my points in STR and half in DEX. I use Fists/Claws. Now, I'm a little torn. I don't know if I should sacrifice heavy armor for more DEX. Light armor requires much less STR than heavy does and I prefer evasion, accuracy and crits over defense. But not only my physical resistance but also my physical attack will suffer from this.

So should I change to light armor? Or should I stick with heavy armor?

Please note that I don't give a damn about what's best. I wouldn't have chosen Fists/Claws otherwise. I want a build that's more true to myself and more fun to play. I just want to know if this build is unplayable or not.

    If you're going to be a true fist user (not going to be using any other weapons) then I'd say light armor is best, since you won't be able to use heavy for too long anyway. Adding points to vit makes up for the loss a little, and the fact that a lot of the mobs once you get higher up in level use magic makes it a lot easier to choose.

    Thanks a lot for the response. The info about higher level mobs using magic did make the choice a lot easier.
