I kinda think it sucks how they make elves and especially giants so powerful. >.<

I guess it's a good thing none of my characters are really much of the fighting type. ^_^;

its like a luxury making those mages even more powerful a least it wont wreck balance
Like the gaints gettin sheilds
And kita so in g4 when we use a sheild we get attack we block even without defense on?

No one uses fireball and thunder in the arena... its not fast enough. And Ice Spear is not strong enough.

G8! G8 Season 4 is when shields autoblock.

like final shot is nice like teleporting is great but the cooldown time and
the fact the you still have to reaim after each teleport kinda seems like a con
for giants windbeaker is nice but you still can die and using taunt in a
extremely diffcult dungeon can mean death also

*this post was to make human characters feel better after being left out in this patch*

The fact that giants can use shields now change the fact that Giants weren't used soley because they lack defensive abilities.

Unlike Final Hit where you MUST teleport to the enemy's location and attack, Final Shot allows you to choose when to teleport, and where with SHIFT + CLICK. This makes a really cheap attack against melee users, since you can teleport out of the way whenever they get close enough. The cooldown timer still makes the skill not as potent as Arrow Revolver, but its still damn cheap.

Yup. Thats about it. It just made Giants and Elves a whole lot cheaper, because devCAT decided that humans were too popular.

Some where I heard Final shot decreases the loading time of all ranged attack while in used

Wow this looks really interesting..

I really like the Taunt skill. Seems pretty useful for warrior/tank characters. Since I'm a mage.... NOT SO MUCH! XD

I never really knew how tall exactly the giant race was... but I hope I'm not the only one who finds female giants.... better looking than humans? :/

A fully grown giant is almost twice as tall as a fully grown human.
A 10 year old giant is about as tall is a fully grown human.

I am one of those who find giants better looking (females anyways... males just look like rip offs of ganondorf). They look so much more realistic.
With a more of a "modern anime" look to their face as well.

Their bodies are better defined, no square edges on their bodies. No more polygonal bewbs? Yus plz.

This is my Giant.

the cat totally agrees with kitae that the models for giants look better than humans

[ShadowFox31]

Well, I guess you also have to take into mind that Mabinogi had limits in the beginning... at around g7 they had time to make a better model.

Mabey in later generations, they will make the human model better, like what they did with Tir.
