Anyway, I'm up in Pinefar, culling Ice Wraiths, when I come along a Grimswarm Giant that I decide to smash...


[Arctic Embankment]
The wind is a cruel master, reigning at the apex of the boulders with dangerous gusts spiked with needle-sharp ice and sleet. A sheath of ice covers the stones, making a perilous catwalk of the embankment's top. Wind screams its way over the jumble of rock and barrels against the mountains to the south in an endless onslaught. You also see a Grimswarm giant sorceress.

Good Lord, the first three hits were 444, and tack on the last 150 and that was nearly 600 damage...of course, the damn thing probably had 445 health total just to spite me...

Yeah, I understand that, I don't even think the Ice Golems up in Seekers have THAT much health, however

Jungle troll chieftains have about that much, if you manage not to crit them out first. Theyr like 30

If you think that's bad, you should have seen GS3 massive troll kings.

Greater Bog Trolls (live in Oteska's in River's Rest) have between 400 and 500 health, I believe. Fun to bleed them out.

That Grim probably gen'ed to someone of higher level than the normal critters around there...

I'm 100% sure it did gen to a higher level than what's in Glacei and Corpses, since it gave me 70 prestige points...like-level Grims usually only give about 40-50 points.

I just didn't realize that they had such ludicrous amounts of health...Well, guess I better invest a few points in Ambush to smash there heads...

Oh, and as a side note, I hate getting dispelled!

It used to be like 2000+ or something retarded. Now it's much less.

Last year I was fighting a grizzled stone giant...

I added up the damage I did to it to 1800 HP

those things are a pain

He might have been thinking of elementals, they have no eyes, head, or neck. Most annoying thing evar.

I've seen quite a few 50's-60's critters with health in the 400+ range... not that odd. It's annoying when your AS is so low that you're only doing like 30 damage per hit, but it's pretty good for working out how much they actually have...
