  o3o how will the giants look after the renewal?
  As for giants not geting range... I like melee, range seems kinda nerfed in the first place.
  I mean the bows dont go over 40 max right? And it just doesn't get that crita w/o protect, hits everything shot.(however it does get magnum spam)
  Only place that seems good for is pvp... poor elves, they get the best bite out of the worst cake

  
  
  In the time it takes Giants to load Smash once, elves can potentially load three times/fire twice (due to refire). Even humans can deal nice damage from a safe distance. The campfire bonus results in 750% magnum damage as well. Not to mention Crash Shot has a supposed 900% multiplier at r1 and hits six targets with 150-250% damage over a 700 unit radius without causing agro.
  
  While bow/crossbow mastery would be super awesome, neither humans or elves really need it.

  Giants are pretty fricken pwnage, i've been saying this for.. a long time.
  
  If I played them more i'd probably main one instead of a human, but I can't stand the bulkiness. With the giant renewal later on i might change main to a giant though if I like it. Seriously thats the only reason i don't main a giant, they're bulky things. I've thought about maining an elf too but I main melee combat so the lacking in abilities in that area hinder me from touching them.
