Oasis Sand Giants?

[Vladesch]

FWIW I've never been bothered by them in the SE part of the zone.

I hate when I'm charming them to fight each other and some 59 sorcerer shows up and grabs a few then some 42 SK starts fear-kiting them one by one(they die before I can bard-run around the lake)
So sometimes hours go by and you can't find a single Sand Giant (other than Cazel)

Hey, speaking of Cazel: The other day, he was a cyclops. Isn't he normally a beard-o?
Also speaking of Cazel, if you're 50+, kill him. He'll drop candy or something. Do the you-of-the-past a favor and score some vengeance.

If a necro casts ignite bones on Cazel, he will be a cyclops when he comes out of skeleton form.

Cazel also has very high HP regen, making him a bit more difficult to solo than your average level 51.

I wish this upon no one.

Yeah, I remember in classic that the dock was a safe spot to be, and there were usually lots of people sitting there. If things went wrong on the orc highway, people would often run to the docks to get saved.

On P1999, the docks is a graveyard and Cazel is always standing there.

I have a great screenshot from Kane Bayle server up of 10+ sand giants in one area in Oasis. I'll see if I can find it when I get home.

"Oasis of Marr: Many of the roaming npcs in the dunes should have a low % chance of spawning a sand giant. " as of Feb 17 2013 patch.

Also let me just say that this is the kind of stuff that made Everquest so great. Having some high level mobs in lower areas made you be careful and think and mind your surroundings ( you can hear their loud footsteps and they are also, uh, HUGE. ) You learned fast that Norrath was a dangerous place and that there were risks and rewards even in lower zones. They also gave you something to strive for. I remember seeing the occasional higher level person killing giants or spectres and I couldn't wait to get to that level. There's actually a legitimate reason to come back to the zone at higher levels too, be it for exp, money or revenge ( this is something modern games never do, or even classic WoW, I mean did you ever go back to, Redridge Mountains after level 20? NO! ). Sand Giants are one of the many things that made this game feel like such an adventure and if you look deep down, I think you'll find a Sand Giant in all of our hearts.

cazel pathing to dock every 10 mins not classic, have to agree with the others. docks was always a safe spot for the most part

I've seen Cazel fear kited here. Not sure if you could do that on live. Not bothering the bugs section till things settle down Velious-wise.
