.. the ID isn't lighting-resistant, right?
The combo will work on lots of others "biggest monsters", too, though ...
Thunder Bow
(10 air gems; STR armor negating damage)
Girdle of Might
( 3 earth gems; +3 STR, +3 Reinv.)
Those quite low-level and easy to forge items will result in:
DAM 20 (lighting, armor-negating)
range 30
prec 18
I went for girdle of might because the Firbolg is rather heavy encumbered, and I found them rel. often with fat. >10, which will incure them a -1 penalty, when they ran around to get the nicest target in range ...
Maybe a total prec of 18 is too low, so you might want to add a Eye of Aiming, and maybe a Bear Claw while you're at it, for another 5 damage
