But you don't need to kill all of them, just enough to defeat them. Also, you can have your mage and decent scales, while he has destroyed his scales for his bless. Not to mention that its unlikely that your mage will only be able to kill one giant if he's spamming incinerate, more likely he will take down at least 2-3.

Plus the entire point being - giant dies, mage lives. That's the sort of equation that almost always bodes well for you.

lets set it up and look at it. I think its far from clear.
say Niefle, 1500 gp, vs... who would we like as a standard fire commander. I don't think a fire nation is an apples to apples comparison to determine the general effectiveness of the tactic.
