Killing blessed giants

Unless you have multiple attacks, the 6 AP bless from F9 is pretty minor compared to the +4 to attack. With Lanka's hugely damaging Falchions F9 is IMHO not wasted against Hinnom. It's *better* against Niefelheim's fire vulnerability of course but against Hinnom the 6 AP attack would only add another 15% damage or so if Hinnom didn't have fire resistance.

How would high death perform on nature blessed giants as opposed to fire?

Death would cause more afflictions, including against a regenerating giant, but fire would hit more often.
Against Niefelheim, fire is definitely better. Against Hinnom, I'd have to test, but MaxWilson is quite right that the +4 attack can make a big difference.
However, Death bless +%affliction affects all attacks, including spells and missiles, which makes it useful if you have sacred mages.
