Maybe we need to view giant warriors as more like orcs and less like dexy warriors. You get giant bash, which is nice for people you can bash and whom you can outmelee in a total-command-denial scenario. But you're not as good against people you cant' bash.

There are certainly builds that have more to fear from giant axe spec than they do from dexy guy.

Option #4

A different take on #3

Furry giants

Because then someone rolls a fire giant shaman and skies will cry (n/t)

This is a cool idea. I said the same thing when Frosty posted the exact same idea on this thread. =) n/t

jalim March 22, 2017 09:55AM

I always knew Frosty was smarter than he looks. nt

Frosty March 22, 2017 09:57AM

I like the idea but a giant warrior is still going to get worked by quick races with gates. Just takes a bit longer. (n/t)

funnyone March 22, 2017 01:58AM

Just give them one more legacy at lvl40? Or two edges? (n/t)

I think it could be as simple as making giants parry better.

Parry is Str based.

bloodmoon March 23, 2017 06:16AM

I thought riposte was dex based, not flourintine. (n/t)

Frosty March 23, 2017 09:10AM

It is.

Rhyaldrin March 21, 2017 09:31PM

This. (n/t)

Frosty March 21, 2017 09:39PM

I really wish they would do something like this. I recall people mentioning this ever since the dex change. (n/t)

I think it's kinda perverse that elves are tankier than giants.

Yes, but as it is it leads to giants hiding behind elves if grouped. (n/t)

Murphy March 21, 2017 06:52PM

I always thought giants should have some kind of skill like evade but that used their strength and size to somehow deter the skill/spell/sup targetting them. I figured it would give SOME kind of balance back to giants. (n/t)

Frosty March 21, 2017 09:51AM

This is a cool idea. n/t

jalim March 21, 2017 11:10AM

yah, which is why i kinda like option 3

The Forsaken(VIP) March 21, 2017 09:50AM

fwiw, it's an across-the-board powerup to strong races; nothing gets weaker. txt
