Was asked to make this video
[video=youtube;MIcYcPs_E3o]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MIcYcPs_E3o[/video]
Giant Mages are differen't than Human and Elf mages.
With the combination of Melee and Magic you can do some amazing things. The G13 update further improves giant mages giving them better Mana Usage, than Previous Gens.
Evasion: Giants cover more distance when using evasion than human and elves, as a giant mage combining firebolt with Evasion can give you some great distance, great for loading extra ice bolt charges against a slower moving enemy
Windguard: The Ultimate in Giant Mage Defense, Combined with Mana Shield you can absorb a hit and counter with your own.
Stomp: Giant Mages can use stomp to set up for a blaze or just help them get a bit of distance if the enemy gets too close to them.
Trinity Staff: Because Giants can use charge without shield, they bring out the full potential of the Trinity Staff and open many new combos.
As you can see from this video a Giant mage can be as powerful or more powerful than a human or elf mage when used in the right way.

You could try WM+Evasion.

Yeah I know that one for extending invincibility frames.
I guess it's not as good for melee when it's bolt + evasion.

I have yet to see a giant mage do anything that would convince me to convert from melee, but I must admit you do prove it's viable. I don't know about giant mages having certain advantages though since charge isn't necessarily a boon for staff and mana shield + wind guard runs into the same problems as wind guard alone. It just strikes me as wasted potential, though as the other staff skills come out that might open the door for mages to make use of melee as well in a way blaze didn't quite accomplish. I'm kind of curious to see what you'll come up with~
