**Outdated - see pinned comment for most recent build**

Hello everyone. Quite a few have asked me for the Mod33 master Jotunskar (mJOT) build so here it is. My work schedule has not been favorable so the build is long overdue. I might make an update build if I figure out any new strats for the dungeon, if I finally get the celestial gear I'm grinding for, or if I finish (start) my mythic companion gear grind. This build balances personal stats and self healing while contributing heavily in the team support category. This build can be increased further by using the Barovia debuff arms (which I have no interest in continuing to grind for). I have not personally tested the 10% damage resistance gloves to giants from the Storm King's Thunder campaign store but those might be worth looking into. I trust my healers to use the 10% giant ward from the guild stronghold with this setup. This build is missing some more group bonuses with alternative insignia options and glove options, but since I pug and don't have a competent static to run with, I have to balance survivability with buffs.

I typically use HP chest for boss 1 for survivability, and swap to AP chest for the remainder of the dungeon afterwards while pugging. I have yet to ever have pugs take my ap orbs in boss 1 because they always stay on the edges to avoid the basilisk mechanics.

This build provides the following team support. Buffs are listed without including purple powers and companions, since those are subject to change based off of the group you are in.
+3% team dmg mitigation from Faerie Fire
+2% team dmg mitigation/damage/healing from masterworks
+AP balls
+Pack Tactics
+5% Def/Deflect from Ally's Resilience
+up to 5% increased damage from debuff set

-3% boss defense from Faerie Fire
-4.5% boss defense from spiteful hex

Things I forgot to mention in the video:
-My ability scores are CHA and CON.
-I have 16 fortitude insignias. I am trying to get 4 more.
-I said torm's elixir, not elixir of steadfast devotion by accident.
-If you are starting a brand new Guardian Fighter and don't have access to lots of master gear yet, please see Lunk's guide for thorough and efficient progression: docs.google.com/document/d/1h9kqI8NaxlttORMv0GAGAmfgai_iby2Cgy_J1h0F_So/edit?tab=t.0
-You can still use a crafted potion of deflect with this build for more stats.
