Default A good build for EotN against jotuns and ice/frost elementals?

Okay, so I started a thread for a nice PVE build, I got the skills, created a nice slashing build with flail in it. This build rocked in Nightfall and Prophecies. But now I've tried different builds for EOTN, but none of them were very effective against Jotuns.

So my question is, what skills work good against Jotuns, and does anybody have a nice build for it?

Thanks guys! I can kill them, but not when to many appear. It seems like they're good in blocking slashing dmg. So what should I do? Is there a good sword build to kill them?

Just don't attack through Ineptitude and you'll be fine... They ain't too hard, they just take a beating.
Any standard D-slash will work.

I'd run a Conjure Cripslash, just to give the healer henchies time to cast after kiting. Those Jotuns have hammers bigger than people... try and get aggro first though.

They're lvl 28 so they can take a beating...but they're anti-melee with Ineptitude and Visions of Regret.

One simple addition for Ice & Frost golems:
A fiery weapon.

The best way I've found to deal with jotuns I've found is good ole body blocking along a wall, so they can't get into your backline. As for ice eles, fire eles on your team packing SH and a minion master absorbs most of the damage.

For the Jotun, watch which hexes are on you and make sure you give your monks (if heroes) hex removal. Packing an interrupt is nice to stop some of the Giant Stomping. It would help to give your heroes some blocking skills and other anti-melee, or bring Herta. This lets you ignore the Skullcrackers and focus on killing the weaker Jotun Mindbreakers, Bladeturners, and Bloodcurdlers.

If you have a fire elem in your group, they do not need your help killing Ice Elementals. Conjure Flame builds would own them, though.
