Talk:Giant Stomp

Giant Stomp also deals some damage, doesn't it? It's always 25 if I'm not mistaken, regardless of level/armor (can someone confirm?). I'm not sure whether it damages other monsters, too (probably not), but I think it does damage animals that happen to be in the area. --Eightyfour-onesevenfive 20:13, 2 Sep 2005 (EST)

I seem to be encountering this being used against my pary by Jade Brotherhood. Not sure who is casting it though; could be the knights or the sages? --Kanga 02:12, 14 July 2006 (CDT)
 * The elementalists use Dragon's Stomp. --68.142.14.33 02:20, 14 July 2006 (CDT)
 * Ah ok, makes more sense. --Kanga 12:33, 14 July 2006 (CDT)

Not sure if this is worthwile noting in the article: The damage dealt by Giant Stomp is physical damage and will be reduced by Absorption runes and reduction mods on shields (Knight's Armor will probably work too, can't test that). --84-175 (talk) 13:56, 9 August 2006 (CDT)
 * Just tested it with a full set of Knight's Armor and a major absorption rune. I took 23 damage from the Giant Stomp, indicating that the absorption rune reduces it but Knight's Armor doesn't.  Unfortunately, I don't have a shield to test. --24.51.110.182 03:47, 14 August 2006 (CDT)
 * Ugh, I got logged out. That was me. --XT-8147 03:48, 14 August 2006 (CDT)
 * Yes, shields will reduce the damage, as long as you meet the damage reduction requirement. Knight's Armor would reduce the damage, except that Giant Stop doesn't hit a location. 220.233.103.77 04:23, 14 August 2006 (CDT)

I was killing Tundra Giants in Snake Dance. The cast time in the game description is wrong. It says it has 4 second cast time, 32 second recharge. The cast time is definitely not 4 seconds! I was interrupting it, and it was more like 2 seconds, or maybe less. Where I am looking is when a monster uses the skill, you put your mouse over it, and there you can see cost, cast time and recharge. --Carth 05:23, 19 September 2006 (CDT)
 * That's my experience as well, and the information here http://guildwarsguru.com/skill/class/10-npc-skills-effects supports that, though guru lacks anything on the energy amount. Not sure how reliable they are, but I have witnessed it first-hand on the cast and recharge. Merengue 21:04, 26 September 2006 (CDT)
 * I'd say it takes around 3 seconds to activate. Someone with the right video software could test it at the start of Thunderhead Keep. -- Gordon Ecker 04:03, 2 October 2006 (CDT)
 * Strangely this skill does not trigger Empathy or some spells that triggers when attack, Clumsiness can still interupt this skill. So is this an attack afterall? If this is an attack, then the Tundra Giant things will make more sense because they use Berserker Stance －Sora 22:05, 22 October 2006 (CDT)
