Just finished playing as Jarvan and I wanted to upload this build for you guys.
Quick explanations:
Masteries - I didn't go along with the 21/9/0 or 21/0/9 fad. I just made what worked for me. Survivability plus dps. That's how it's going to work in my build.
Skills - Finish Golden Aegis first for the slow. The flat dmg shield is nice. Just be careful not to go below 300 intentionally. Great for towerdiving. With Demacian Standard all you need is the knockup ability and later the attack speed. Other than that you don't skill it for the dmg. Finally Dragon Strike has range. Try to put this straight through a creep wave for multiple last hits early game. Use it for knockup. Go wild. Cataclysm gives alot of face time with an enemy. Use this to chase and land the kill. The barrier is up for a while so I would suggest hitting with all your might, going all out.
Summoner Spells- I went for Ghost to catch up and run away. Exhaust has the same versatility. I would also suggest a Cleanse instead of an Exhaust. Purely preference. You will be stunned in your Cataclysm so I suggest you run some Mercury's Threads if you want to deal the max dmg.
Items- Take advantage of that passive and build a Madred's Bloodrazor. You'll need it. The boots are up to you. CC more? Get Mercury's Threads. Not that many CC's? Ninja Tabi. I personally like Boots of Mobility. You are a ganking machine. Maximize that potential. Pwning? Grab Berserker's Greaves. All up to you. My item build maximizes attack speed and dmg. You need to grab one of the tankish items. Most likely Banshee's Veil but grab a Heart of Gold even if you aren't building Randuin's Omen. Sell it after 1.2 minutes for profit. Don't grab boots last btw. Get speed on your first trip back and finish when needed.
Runes- Basic DPS runes. Dodge runes are more expensive than attack speed runes so get whichever one you want. Both are viable. Heck take a mix of them. You need both.
