Until you can get high armor and block ratings and can take them on with a melee weapon when they close. I had already slain dragons and though I was bad a** at about 12th level. Even with archery and not using unclimbable (For them) vantage points my arrows didn't do jack. I got KaPowed so many times I got skittish when I got my first giant bounty then found I COULD take them on. And the first time I took on TWO! Whoo I was nervous.
