Talk:Sky giant

I just got this:

A sky giant bellows a word of power as a roiling cloud forms between her palms. She claps her hand together and a gust of wind blasts out at all around her!

You feel yourself buffeted by a powerful blast of ice-cold wind!

You are forced back quite some distance!

You are knocked flat!

I assume that's shockwave, so I've added it to their spells.--Antendren 21:14, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

At 581 shield, 573 evasion, with 58 reflex, and lightly hindered, I still get beat the heck up. I don't think the min is 500 ranks. I think it'd be closer to 550 or so, if not higher. --Healfdene Rokk 06:21, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

I agree with Healfdene's comment from 6+ years ago. My ranger with 600 effective evasion and 85 effective reflex still gets quickly pummeled by these things. I raised the MinCap from 500 to 600. --NSPEARE (talk) 17:21, 27 August 2018 (CDT)

Here's a bit of info, brought to you by RECALL:

You recall a sky giant casts the ethereal shield, arc light, static discharge, lightning bolt and paeldryth's wrath spells.

I don't know what these spells really look like (other than ethereal shield and lightning bolt), so I can't say for sure I've seen them cast all of these. I've also just started hunting them, so maybe I'll see more as I go. Mrbobcat

Berserking

So I am adding the ability to berserk to their arsenal because when I roared lashed them (stun) the both immediately broke it. Here's the messaging: The glazed look in a sky giant's eye fades, and is replaced by a terrible berserk rage.

• Driving in like an unbeatable force, a sky giant slices wide at you. You dodge, leaning to one side with no room to spare.

6/9/20 You are certain that the sky giant is healthy.

You are certain that it is about as strong as you are. (60 + 6)

You are certain that it is about as agile as you are.(60)

You are certain that it is not quite as quick to react as you are.(65 + 13)

You are certain that it is rather less conditioned than you are. (65 + 7)

Taking stock of its offensive abilities, you are certain that the sky giant is a less skilled opponent.

Taking stock of its defensive abilities, and attacking with an icy broadsword, you are certain that the sky giant is a simple opponent.

If you attacked with an icy broadsword, you are certain that the enemy would train rather well. 515

If you targeted and cast a spell at the enemy, you are certain that it would train rather well. 530

If you attempted to debilitate the enemy, you are certain that it would train rather well. 545

The giant appears immune to electricity.
