Yep aggro is definitely not normal. For example when one of the waves spawned I told my mage pet to attack one of the Warriors. The pet died after soloing the giant for a minute or two. Instead of running for the master the giant just continued walking past me on its path toward Thurgadin. This was near the giant's spawn point, way before the frenzy point where they sprint toward Thurg.
I got the feeling that giants would ignore you unless you happened to be right on top of them flailing your sword around, and that was still kind of iffy. Is there some kind of aggro threshold you have to meet before they start acting normally or it this working as intended? This kind of makes kiting impossible, which is a strategy mentioned in multiple guides.
