    Axes have higher spike dmg, pole has more range. Useful against casters (which is basically ur job to kill).
    I'm making a hyrid, as to be able to stunlock with xtra stun from axe tree and use heavens flame (awesome debuf) but pwn with fast and powerful skills from pole with xtra range.

    Sorry if i think that sounds arrogant lol, but i agree here. Vit BM's can be killed for their lack of dex, if u wanna be a vit BM, be a barb lol.

    And for choosin a weapon, ur choice. Damage = Axe, Range / Bleed = Pole, Overpowerness at 89 = Sword, Fast DPS and High Evade/Crit = Fist

    make a choice :D

    Sins are Scissors. Psychics are Rocks.
    Archers, Venos, Barbs, Wizards, BMs, Mystics, Seekers are Paper.
    ...and Clerics are Mushrooms.
    Paper beats Rock. Scissors beats Paper. Scissors also happens to beat Rock...until Rock gets 50k+ soulforce at which point Rock becomes an unstoppable killing machine that beats Paper... and would beat Scissors but it can't find Scissors, because Scissors are invisible.
    So Scissors beat Paper and avoids Rock, and that is called BALANCE. -cheze

    ummm... Mizu? we're the carebears on PvE server, theyre on PvP. thats different, so they wont even be touching you. yes, your dream is true about your infinite evasion. lol.

    But yea, if you wanna live, go vit, but ull miss a lot. if you wanna kill, go dex, but have substantially less hp, but more evasion and crit

    Couple things to consider:

    Magic doesn't miss. 4/6 classes can do magic damage, ALL at range.

    So say I have 150 dex, 50 vit, versus a vit BM with 50 dex, 150 vit.

    NAPKIN MATH TIME!!

    Let's say the dex BM here has 5k HP (basing this roughly on my lvl90 BM atm) His mob evasion is around ~20% (probably less, but we'll be generous)

    The vit BM will have 6.5k hp, at the cost of losing 1k accuracy and evasion.

    So, let's check the survivability vs. magic classes. VIT BM wins hands down. He has 1.5k more health.

    Survivability versus HtH classes? Say with same EQ, 85% resistance versus physical damage.

    5k/.15 = ~33.3k absolute damage (before reduction)
    6.5k/.15 = ~43.3k absolute dmg (before reduction)

    Ahh, but what about my evasion? a 20% Evasion avoids 20% of incoming damage. I think 50 dex would result in about a 5% reduction.

    33.3k/.8=41.6k
    43.3k/.95=45.6k

    VIT BM still survives slightly better.

    NOTE: These numbers are based upon mob accuracy. Likely human players would have a wider variance. Furthermore, this doesn't compare KILLING POWER, which a DEX BM would have over a VIT BM (or even a STR BM if they exist) As player accuracy increases, the survivability of a DEX BM decreases markedly. HP is a linear scale, where every increase of 1 HP gives yo at least 1 effective HP (and I assume, unless you are naked, a LOT more.) Evasion is NOT like this, 1 evasion point is more effective at 5 evasion than 5k evasion.

    Overall, a VIT BM lives longer, and it could be argued would do more dmagae over time since he may not his at hard, but he will live longer. This is especially true in TW or mass PvP, where BM is a support class. BM isn't made for damage, your damage will suck without the best gear. Your strengths are stuns, AoE's, and dragons.

    HIGH STR: you want to kill
    HIGH DEX: you want some challenges
    HIGH MAG: you have not read any guides
    HIGH VIT: you just dont want to be killed or you try to hide something.
