Assuming you go full Fearless Thief (which you will, since you are a giant), you cannot use:
-Wooden Needle (CM =/= lowhp build)
-Diamond Raven boots
-Damage Accessories
-BurstKnight/Tragic
-STR and Max from CM

can't really evaluate the impact going low-hp for a Giant will have until we have your skillset, really.

:o. I've put that into mind. 290 P is with r1 CM after all. I calculated that I can get down to 20-30 HP without losing any prefixes (which are the main source of max damage enchants).

Skillset: r1 WM, Smash, CM, Critical, r9 Defense. (Skills that matter xD)

You can get -275 HP without a large sacrifice in damage.
Weapon : Demi Lich / Destruction (-140)
Hat : Wolf Hunter / Thief (-15)
Clothing : Victorious / Thief (-15)
Gloves : Maltreat / Thief (-30)
Shoes : Diamond / Thief (-15) [Edit: Giants can't use Raven boots either, duh!]
Accessories : Corundum / Thief (-30)
Maiz Title (-30)

5 Thief enchants = -20 Damage compared to Tragic
1 Thief enchant = -6 Damage compared to Peaceful
1 Maltreat enchant = - 1 Damage compared to Victorious (Giants can't use Wooden Needle)

Only a loss of 27 Damage.
Plus, if you use Deadman enchants, that's an additional 0-30 HP knocked off, at the sacrifice of the Luck. -305 total without sacrificing any +Damage Prefixes.
In the end, it seems more like 10-15% loss. Nowhere near 30%.

Although, if I played a Giant I would take advantage of their tanking ability, since they can actually pull it off.

I'd rather be a glass cannon, lacking defense, rather than hp.
Screw Def!:awesome:
