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...
