you want lightning too, for if for nothing else then getting fear.
I've killed giants my own lvl with sub bard style even with fear, and earth barrier and knock back , oh ya get the charged wind skill too it can be a life saver.
at lvl 60 you'll want to invest the sp back into the first light nuke which sucks but you need it maxed to buy chain lightning which is very good in a party. Lets you have non stop area of effect nukes between earth shock, meteor, snow wind, and the charged wind itself.
But if you're just forced to solo right now and trying to farm i'd recommend just getting fear and earth barrier for right now and skip the nukes till later since you don't really need them while soloing.
combined with your recovery division and bless giants will no longer be a big problem only if you get 3 in a row spawning
yeah im actually in the middle of de-leveling bard and going cleric so... since iv'e always had problems killing giants...i still think im gonna leave out lightning atm since there is very rarely any partys and find myself soloing as usual

i took earth tho... and im so glad i did

what an amazing skill earth shock is
