With the nerfs that have hurt jax, i feel his item order should be:
Ninja Tabi
Guinsoos Rageblade
Phage
Atmas Impaler
Blood Thirster
Frozen Mallet
in other words use Dirty Goolash's build it does wonders

Ive never undestood the use of Atmas Impaler in Jax-builds. Even with our passive he doesnt have that much HP, 2% doesnt seems very much to me.
Btw, Ive tried a couple of matches with a different setup, and Ive dropped my fondness of Phantom dancers now. They are ok, but to expencive, and I feel I get anough dodge from his passive + mastery + ninja boots. I miss the runspeed, but you cant get everything right?
I still thing Jax need some lifesteal early on, so now I go:
-Ninja Tabi
-Guinsoos Rageblade
-Vampiric Scepter (because its cheap, and will later be upgraded to Bloodthirster, or by all means Wriggle's Lantern)
-Phage
From then on I kind of improves tbh ;)

I really enjoy the playstyle of Jax, but Im having some trouble early in games. I think he is quite difficult to farm creeps with early, but most of all I think he needs lots of items to be effectiv. So: slow leveler, slow goldfarmer, itemdependent.. bad combo.
Ok, so what items to go for?
* He needs lots of dodge to trigger his E, so Ninja boots and Phantom dancer are key items. Phantom Dancer also covers runspeed and attackspeed (and he needs some attackspeed imo) so I try to get this quite fast.
* He needs both AD and AP. AD for his autoattacks, and AP for his abilitys, and Guinsoos Rageblade covers both, so this is also a key-item.
* He needs lifesteal to be able to lane longer, and to survive better in fights. The Bloodthirster is loaded with AD and lifesteal, but Hextech Gunblade has a great mix of AD, AP, lifesteal and spellvamp, and also a nice on-use slow. Would it be a good idea to go for the Hextech Gunblade first instead of Rageblade and Bloodthirster? I do want them to in my setup, but perhaps it would be better to go Hextech first, then Rageblade and Bloodthirster? any oppinions?
So, itemorder:
1. Ninja boots
2. Phanton Dancers
3. Hextech Gunblade
4. Guinsoos Rageblade
5. Bloodthirster
6. Whatever is needed. Frozen mallet, Madreds Bloodrazors, Black Cleaver, Infinitys Edge, or why not a survivalitem?
What do you think?
-Edit-
My point being: until he gets Boots, Phantom dancers and the Rageblade, I suck with him. Are there any better options to help me get a bettre start?
