Are they viable in pvp? I've seen a L30 bear with a rolling pin and a fishing pole in pvp, so I'm sort of interested in playing pvp with L30 swamp gears.

Before that can someone do me a favor? What's the difference between L30 pole and shivering talon? Frog wand and brain-freeze? Do swamp gears at L30 require less stat than the ones from LE/Frozen Nightmare? Stat requirements?

Any constructive answers are appreciated, thanks!
