I think this skill would be nice to add because it adds an elite death magic making it 4 instead of only 3, which brings more balance. There are 5 elites for both Curses and Blood, so why not 5 death elites? IMO this skill would be fun not only in PvE, but also in PvP.

and why would you wanna use this ? not only could you have made 3 fiends but you yust made a monster that uses a skill that knocks everybody down!

Why would I want this? Well for one the Bone Giant would be stronger then 3 fiends and have more health. Two the bone giants max lvl is 20 and the fiends is 18. Three the Bone Giant will be able to use skills (like I said im not sure about giant stomp). Four it gives more variety of minions. Its like asking me why would you use minions instead of a bone horror....or why would you use a bone horror instead of a bone fiend....

Your statements contradict each other. You might want a better defense. :P

Isn't there already a second tier undead? It's been a -long- time since I ran around in Kryta, but I remember these giant executioner-like guys, pretty sure they were undead. I'd be happy just putting one of those together, maybe re-skinned to match the horrors and fiends.

imho, this skill would be complimented by the ability of the bone giant to cast chain lightning with an aoe of 500 feet and 20 multiple targets, and have its air attribute set to 9000.

i would make a blood giant

mana cost: all you have

sacrifice 99% life

160 recharge time

1 def

-100% life

description: dies the second you summon it, the area it was supposedly summoned with leave a puddle of blood which will make anyone stepping on it to slip *knock down*, and chances of you dying is a high percentage if your in the midst of battle. =P

a competely useless elite.

i would stick with fiends/horrors/minions and such.

wth did i make such a screwed up elite? i must be really bored. =P

If it's useless what is the use of animate bone minions? or bone horrors. why not just go bone fiends the whole game? It just gives you more options. Are you guys just trying to act funny, if so please don't post here. Just say yes or no.

No. . .

I think it'd make MM too powerful to be honest. With high soul reaping, the 30 energy will come amazingly easy so they could get like 3 or 4 "giants" up at once..too powerful.

i give it a big NO

Hopefully there will be at least one new animate spell in Chapter 2.

I like the idea... but dislike the details...

how about something like

Animate Bone Giant [Elit]
Description: Exploit target corpse to animate a level (1-16) (NB: If you die the minions become masterless and may attack your allies.)
Energy Cost: 25.
Casting Time: 3 seconds.
Recharge Time: 10 seconds.
Linked Attribute: Death Magic. Increases creature level.
Skill Type: Spell.

Bone Giant will have a bit more hp and attack power than that of Bone Horror, but have slower moving speed. Maybe an inherient skill of Cursh Blow

on subject of new elite death, y no somthing like

Animate Bone Champion {elite}
Description: exploit nearest boss's corpse, create a lvl (2-18) Bone champion
only one champioin can be summoned at once, dose not suffer from minion's degen is added to allies list has the bosses skills, and equipment
Energy cost: 30
Casting time: 8 seconds
recharge time: until current Champion dies

or somthing along those lines, i know it would be absolutly useless in PvP, but then again, so is a MM, unless u build a whole team around them. If not the giant idea is cool too.
