[Fantomen]

I've tried out the mechanical giant now in MP. It makes for a quite nice thug, but it could be a tad cheaper. 20 earth gems would be more ok I think.

I used it with boots of quickness, dual frost brands, ethereal robe and flying carpet. Then I gave him some mechanical men as bodyguards. Made for a really nice flying raiding party.

Also great as a battlefeild thug/blocker with just quickness boots and two good weapons. Nice to combine with mixed elemental evocations and fatigue spells. I was LA Caelum so used them with lightning, freezing mist and rigor mortis.

Overall I think the Mechanical giant is well balanced and fills a niche yet unoccupied, but as I said slightly too expensive. Good work.
