when you are fighting giants, you are really into getting drops than getting xp

I'm not.
I kill slow enough anyway, giants provide something different.[/quote]

it actually takes longer to kill enough mobs to get as much exp as a giant would give you, since you'd have to run everywhere to kill the amount of monsters that equal wat a giant would give in exp/sexp

so in short, a giant is like mobbing 100 or so monsters in 1 go, while it would take you extra time to run to the 100 or so mobs individually

Not even a little. When you mob monsters, depending on your weapon and build, you can generally double your DPS while fighting through use of AOE skills. If I do 1k damage with ghost spear, a giant still takes 1k damage, but as soon as I have 5 or more mobs around me I am dealing 1k +800 +600 +400 +200 = 3k damage instead every time I use the skill.

approx 75k exp from a nachal giant

approx 5k exp from a regular nachal

Killing 15 mobs is faster than killing a giant if you have no zerk.
