Furnace Guardians? (Maybe I shouldn't go there)

Don't Ettins do Giant Stomp? I can't remember. I'll have to go back and look that up.

No they do not. They use balanced stance instead

They do however knockdown later in the game.

LOL what a coincidence, this is exactly the question i was going to post here. the answer was always different with the different people i asked so i just decided to buy a 20% gaintslaying pommel and im going to test this out myself but first i need to find another sword to upgrade with this mod :/

i was thinking the only way to test this out would be to use two swords both with the same dmg range and dmg mod but upgrade one with the slaying pommel. Then take a record of the highest damage achieved by each sword on ettins of the same level. This could still be inaccurate though because of critical hits etc. so if any1 can come up with a better test i'd be willing to give it a try

I think that's pretty much the best way to do it... as long as you take a fair amount of data on the damages of each sword you should get a good indication as to whether or not the giantslaying mod works on them or not.

Strif those 10 people that jumped you about it were right!!!
But that aside they take alot of extra damage from fire. Would like to hear how the giantslaying pommel works out for you but you should definatly go with the fiery hilt.
To whom it may concern Ettins have been nerfed and never drop anything but hardened humps.

The best that I have found was a Fiery Sword Hilt, FIRE does the most damage. And if the slaying pommel works.......Goodbye Ettins

Ok instead of highest dmg, do average damage- that way you get more acurate.

I finally got the chance to do some real testing.

Using Wild Blow and two different swords, I tested vs the ettins.

Note the 42 damage in both shots.

I was using a stance to optimize the stance based sword.

Note that elemental damage is ideal, as a pure physical Wild Blow was 30 damage.

So, it was an expensive experiment, but at least it's known now.
