Does this count against Ettins? What do giants actually consist of?

List of Giants:
Hill Giant lvl 20
Sand Giant lvl 22
Summit Giant Herder lvl 13
Summit Beastmaster lvl 24
Tundra giant lvl 24

I got this info from my guide book and ettins were in a completely different catagorie...ETTINS so I do not know if giantslying works against ettins but for some reason i doubt it

hope this help

ps: you can always just test it

According to Guildwiki, Trolls and Ettins are sub-classes of Giants.

I did some testing on the Giantslaying mod and found that it did NOT modify the damage.

Given the performance of the Giantslaying mod, I highly doubt the Trollslaying mod will actually make a difference.

Still, if someone wishes to spend the money on a Trollslaying mod (expect to pay about 15k for a perfect sword), make your tests and post.

Well it seems that we have not come up with an answer!! I farmed the ettins last night with two swords. One is a sundering sword of fortitude, 10/10 +25 and 15% enchanted customized +20%, and one perfect fire sword of giant slaying 15% enchanted customized. I got the exact same results from both swords. So what mod would work? Does anyone have a troll slaying mod that would part with it? My IGN is Balsk Bushbuff, Ill be on later tonight. Thanks

I heard in another post that the Ogre Slaying Knife thing helps against Ettins.

Too bad the damage is super low...

If ogre slaying knife works... wait for assassin to kick some serious ass

Confirm, you're using troll slaying mod/elemental damage?

Also, report your wild blow rather than something that's a variable. That skill always results in a critical hit. Screenshot would be best.

I have a 20% trollslaying mod, however it's for a staff. Just FYI if anyone is interested

I'm not going to apply it and try it, because I don't want to take the chance of not being able to salvage later.

I was farming last night and procured an axe grip of trollslaying 18%, but Im looking for a sword component, if anyone has one, or is interested in this one, I will gladly pay for and conduct this expirament to evolve the science of ettin slaying. We have far to of those two-headed creatures in Tyria. My IGN is Balsk Bushbuff. Adios, see you out there.
