for those of ya who nukes, do you bother killing giants when you can easily 1 nuke 1 kill normal mobs? seems like if you just stick to killing normal mobs you are more efficient that way

I kill em all cause they are pretty easy as a nuker, and you get the xtra gold

i hate the behaviour of int's thinking they can kill faster so they can ks when they want ...
let's see if i'm zerking a gaint and afterwards an int comes, i bet the kill is still mine, only when we start together, the int got advantage

Ks'er! Shame, shame, everyone knows your name
I don't know of many str that offer to help an int tank a giant, just to have them get the kill.
I have a char on both sides of the spectrum - as the int, it depends on the mob. If they have a crit that can kill me then I don't mess with them (i.e. a 44 spear nuker vs. a giant mujiji) If not, they're fair game and I grind them just like the other mobs.
Thank goodness the giant bunwangs can kill me anymore...well, unless two show up at same time.

Maybe at your lvl, but when you're a higher lvl you'll notice ints still doing more dmg even though you zerked! (Mostly cus str's tend to tank on higher lvl mobs.) (Int's tend to grind on white/green cus they can 1nuke 'em)

ok i DO NOT ks when any 1 is zerking on a giant, str or int

If I am in zerk I will do more or the same damage as a int nuker, considering I crit a shitload, I will get the kill.
If I am not in zerk I dont even bother to touch the giant when a nuker is around, usually just hope it dies from the giant and the surrounding mobs ^^

I killed a Mujigi giant or that other one....whicher is white

all by myself and I'm a lvl 39 pure int nuker. Giants don't scare me, I have 2700 HP. Anyone who's scared of giants needs to alch up their stuff.

I will never ks someone on purpose unless they deserved it..Also I like to grind on yeti or something like that and I die from them lol =)
Although I will go for it when I got zerk (not anymore now I removed ice) also I will go for giant mujigi's I see when I walk to my grindspot

oops summon scroll you died.. sry bout that greedy nuker.
I always go for giants because there seems to be a higher likelihood of getting a drop.

I always go for even with no zerk, one day i've took 3 giant spawn without zerk, they just keep spawning I was about to go mad lol

i always go for giants and im lvl 63 hybrid int spear...7k hp and i do 5-6.5k nukes to power earth ghosts and in zerk sometimes i do 13k, so nothing to be worried about

. So why not kill the giants

(sorry if im bragging^^)

I fight them all the time.
Even if I don't have zerk, it spares me the running time
I NEVER use pots, seriously, I grind with one hp pots (Just to allow for stacking) I return to town with about 30 hp pots.

I always kill giants. It take about 10 hits, no need to even zerk.

yes i kill the giants. As a nuker killing mobs is super easy. Giants are even better cause transfer hits the small ones and they come to you as well.

Nukers don't mean that they can't tank, i can take on 4 ongs while fighting a giant and i'm pure int.
EDIT: Another reason is because we kill them fast

lol omg I can't believe some of the scaredy cat noob posts from weak ints

I could almost complete an entire pandoras box myself. I did however use a party summon scroll when I was about 34ish or something and killed 3 super powered ongs at once. They're not exactly giants but they're close. I think now with my Seal of Sun I'm the strongest pure int that's ever existed lol

i buy over 400 hp pots and 600 mp pots and it only last me about 3hours ><
Max dura on my set .. + 1500 mp 50 hp .. I can stay out for 12 hours. Usually only go to town once a day. Rest I either log off or grind.

i go for giants only with zerk. Otherwise, the xp/gold gained isn't worth the gt time/pot. but thats just me and strictly my opinion.

if u can 1nuke 1kill normal mobs doesn't mean you're more eifficient just doing that. having zerk & zerking on a giant gets u more exp/spexp than 1nuking normal mobs, cuz u dont need to run arnd to collect all the exp

, & it's less than 30s to kill a giant
