Giants have a very strong vulnerability to MENTAL (both damage, and spells).
This is disruptive to game balance because they gain really only slightly
above average health. Vulns that attack them via auto-attacks make the
race worse than first age gnomes were (this is an accurate statement).
Effective immediately we will no longer be running with effigies for sale
Ditto for the mental-vuln arrows.
Rod of mind spectres has been moved to enthema.

I think this race is in a good spot now. I'd like to be able to say that about all races before we reopen monks. One thrust at a time |

I am curious about this change because berserk really nullifies the affect. I never used griffon arrows because it cut the damage in half once berserk was used. I am assuming a marmalade orb or wrath fiery weapons still hurt giants without any protection with berserk. Seems like a change that only fixes a few weapons and not the real issue. If I am understanding this correctly. I beat eldroc with a dream catcher and fiery dagger combo at lvl 47. I stopped playing giants because the hp pool was so bad, no race with 22 23 con should have less than 950 hp. |

They get better EH through resisting damage. They are not dwarves and they do not require an enormous hp advantage over other races. Also I am pretty sure you can 1 prac stone warriors to 950 easily and chance to break 1k hp exists |
