Ettin Race?

Are ettins trolls or giants? I want to use a +20% damage mod for them but I don't know which one to use It's driving me crazy.

Giants... i bet

Trolls are only in the Jungle; Shiver Peaks...

I think ettins are their own class

Is there an ettinslaying mod? I dunno...

They look like the trolls from lord of the rings to me. They're overall look is very troll-like but they're also giant-like. They may not be classified as either so they might be weak to earth or fire damage?

i think that there is an ettinslaying mod hmmm TO THE SEARCH BUTTON.

I've already looked into an ettinslaying mod. It doesn't exsist.

based on models i would *guess* they're giants; trolls seems to be more... slim than giants in this game. But thats just a guess.

Ettins are giants. They've always been giants in the various myths featuring them.

Hmm im gonna do a google search and see where i come out ^^

EUREKA FOUND IT.

zOMG H4X0RZ Dont use dictionaries...

but what are you going to be farming thats an ettin?

where can you farm ettins?

kryta ^^

I would be greatly surprised if Ettin's in GW are classed as Trolls, as with what Dogman said.. in most myth's and games and such that include Ettin's, they are always referred to as "Giants" or "Two-Headed Giants" or similar.. and not Trolls.

Although I have to agree with strif3 that the Ettin's in GW do have a remarkable resemblance to the Trolls in LoTR *shrugs*.

Ettins are indeed giants.

et'tin means giant ^^

Aye, but do they take additional damage from a giantslaying upgrade? If they are classed as anything though, I agree it's giant; after all the area that they are located in in Kryta is called "Gaint's Basin".

But there's also a lot of them in Gryphon's Mouth as well.

From the title of the thread I thought you were proposing an athletics event.

You know. I was told over, and over, and over, and over, and over that the first rule of ettin farming is: Don't talk about farming ettins. All i was doing was helping someone out with how to solo farm the ettins and like 10 people pounced on me.

lol ettins are not giants or trolls they are there own species XD

From a racial standpoint Ettins ARE gaints..Ettin is just a fancy way to say Gaint.

As for mods working or not - without having a gaintslaying mod to work with I would probably bet 1 plat that gaintslaying works on them.

If not for Ettins..what is gaintslaying for..their the only gaints I know of in the game...
