a frost giant scout  

I've killed about 13 giant scouts and a few elites and I've never seen a head or toe drop off of any of them, are these just very rare drops or do they only come from specific giants?

Ok I got a rude awakening last night as I was killing Die Wolves in Iceclad. I'm a 42 DE SK grouped with a 40 Monk and a 37 Wood Elf Druid. While the Druid was medding a Giant Scout walked by and began hitting her. This has never happened before, they have always been ready to attack but have never agro'd. We haven't yet chosen sides, haven't killed Giants (except now that 1). Did I miss something or have I just been lucky to date to not be attacked?

Oh and if anyone wounders, they fear-kite EASY.

... unless yer in the mid 40s. Myself (35 cleric) and a 36 ranger were able to do these guys last night, but even then I was down to my last superior heal before he turned away. If you see one that is armed, expect it to be ALOT harder. The loot was CRAP, at least on the 10 or so we killed.. couple of gold. One of them had a Velium dagger on him. He was the one that got us real close to dying... at that point we decided to return to the safety of Malix and his feline friends.

I tried a White Frost Giant Elite at Dragon Bridge in Iceclade. He was an even con to my 33 druid. I started off with snare and started nuking, after first 3 nukes only did about 150 dmg total, i knew i was in trouble. Well after that each nuke landed for 182 each. I was lom so i dmg shielded myself, dotted it with crud and immolate, changed gear and went to melee. I didnt last long, was down to 2 bubs of life in about 10 seconds, stepped back healed, then went in again. Dropped to 2 bubs of life and got ready to zone cus i was OOM and it was at HALF LIFE. Luckily a high level mage or wiz, couldnt tell T'ed me and asked if i wanted a hand, i said sure, well She took out half its life in 2 casts. I still got exp thankfully. :P Some facts that are not all that relevant but may help you decide how to hunt these guys. I was a 33 Halfling Druid, 790hp's, 690AC, 183WIS. He ripped my *** out.... So think about it. After i healed and medded to fm. I tried a blue Frost Giant Scout and same thing, Burned all my mana and only got it passed half life. I have not tried Root Dot Med, so maybe i can solo em that way, but they remind me of HG's. So i will have to try that and if that doesnt work, leave em alone till i get new spells at 34.

Today, two guildmates and I decided to port to Velious to see the place. It was me, a 38 monk, and a 40 druid. The druid went LD while zoning into GD (lotsa fun, he was the only one who knew where to go and I at least, was bound in the Arena. :)); and the monk decides to pull something because he's bored... well, he pulled one of these; white to me at 36. Max hit I saw was 94.
