Invisible item bonuss or bug? - Guild Wars Forums

Pandora's box · Apr 05, 2006, 10:25 PM // 22:25

I found a Shocking Giant's Slayers Hammer of Enchanting (purple) with these mods:

Lightning dmg 18-34 (req 12 hammer mastery)
dmg +11% while enchanted
Enchantments last 13 % longer.

It does NOT tell me the dmg bonus on fighting giants

- a bug?

Ulivious The Reaper · Apr 05, 2006, 10:26 PM // 22:26

obviously, because if it was a giant slayers hammer then it'd say damage +11% against GIANTS not while enchanted, definately a bug of some sort

Theos · Apr 05, 2006, 10:28 PM // 22:28

That hammer has, oddly, nothing to do with Giants. If you tack on a Giant Slayer mod, it will be Giant Slayer's Hammer of Giantslaying... odd name.

Mathias Deathwater · Apr 05, 2006, 10:30 PM // 22:30

No, it's not a bug, the name giant slayer's hammer simply refers to the skin type. I was fooled by this myself the first time I saw it. I kind of think that was strange on Anet's part to name a hammer that, because it would be redundant to get a giant slayer's hammer of giantslaying... but I digress.

Edit: Theos beat me to it and said the exact same thing as me in fewer words.

the apostrophy position implies it shud belong to a giant, not kill them.

it is a Slayers Hammer of Enchanting that you stole from a poor innocent Shocking giant, or so the grammar of it implies.

Ira Blinks · Apr 05, 2006, 10:31 PM // 22:31

yeah, Giant Slayers is just a name for the item, it got nothing to do with mods on it. They often can be found in SF.

Armaida · Apr 05, 2006, 10:32 PM // 22:32

This item sounds interesting but quite cool.

I am always looking to find unique/odd items so if you're willing to part with this hammer contact me in game and we can work out a price.

Account 2: Luci Fur

Again, pretty cool drop.

Ulivious The Reaper · Apr 05, 2006, 10:34 PM // 22:34

wow, thats weird, nice name there, sorry for the miss read title on my part,

I wouldn't if I were you... As I said it is a quiet common drop in sorrows (tho i've never seen a gold one). And it has Rams hammer skin, so no cool look either

Pandora's box · Apr 05, 2006, 10:57 PM // 22:57

Thanks for the info, seems the name fooled me

I don't think its a great item and if someone likes it I wont ask much for it. But for today I'm off.

i found this one the other day off some tundra giants

Aera · Apr 06, 2006, 09:27 AM // 09:27

i hate them...when the Dreadnought's Drift farmrun wasnt nerfed yet, I had like one or two gold Giant Slayers Hammer every run...and no-one wants them :P

Poison Ivy · Apr 06, 2006, 10:05 AM // 10:05

Killing those giants are fun, and fast.

I took on 15 of them once, almost died but I came out fine

boxterduke · Apr 06, 2006, 12:41 PM // 12:41

That is the name of the hammer, it is: Giant's Slayers Hammer

its gaint (no s) slayers hammer.

As in....it BELONGS to a Gaint that slays, not a human that slays gaints.

Its a common drop off Gaint Types like Summit beastmasters or tundra gaints.

Like Chicken Eating Dog >_> think of that one. Is it a chicken eating a dog, or a dog that eats chicken?

fiery · Apr 06, 2006, 01:44 PM // 13:44

What's a gaint.....?

Any enemy that carries "Gaint Stomp" is a gaint type (they ALL do as of now) - they are all immune to knockdown also.

Summit Beastmasters, Tundra Gaints, etc.
