Every jax should go for an immediate guinsoos because it correlates with his ultimate good. Then he should get a banshees instead of a warmogs and a FoN. Because he doesnt need health jax is a champion that he only relies on his E which stuns surronding enemies he does this to survive and put out damage. he doesnt get health it just doesnt work out.

Thanks for the thumb up Avaria. I'm glad to meet another Jax fan. I used to build Jax more AD like you do. Phantom dancer, Infinity edge, and the bloodthirster are all fantastic items, but i find that Jax gets too easily countered by just building armor. Casters for example can get a thornmail and then i die to them every time.

AP is also very good, but it has the same problem as AD: it is easily counterable with magic resist.

Hybrid Jax gives you just about as much damage as straight AD or straight AP, but it is MUCH more difficult to counter. If the target builds armor, empowered leap strikes will destroy them, if they build MR autoattacks will shred them, if they build for both, they will have 0 damage and you can ignore them.

If there is one thing that jax needs, its sheen. Jax is one of the highest ability users of all the melee and sheen will be doing a very high portion of your damage.

Thanks for the positive feedback

p.s. I plan to work on other sections of the guide this weekend.

well i cannot say i like all of your choices for your build of jax, mine differs a lot. yours is a lot more hybrid while mines more so ad. but there was one thing i had to try out. you see one of my final items that i get was bloodthirster, what i often do is get all my parts first before i finish every thign off, so one of those parts was the BF sword, i switched that to sheen and it works amazingly, first game i tried it in i went 21 and 8 and almost finished my build, getting everything but the trinity force. personally i like phantom dancer more then trinity but I'm starting to think maybe i should try getting trinity first you know? I'm going to try that next time i play with jax i don't want to talk to much about my build mainly because i intend on posting it here eventually but until then i appreciate the incite and i think it works much better now

on a side note i tried out a full on ap jax and must say it was fun as hell i went about 16 and 6 or so and i was kinda just messing around, try it some time i built it with dorans shield first then boots then rylians crystal then abyssal scepter then rabadons then hourglass and last lichbane never got to the lichbain but i was pretty tanky and wrecking people right and left.

My knob is enormous.

Great description of why to get all of your items. Really helps. Looking forward to more of the guide.
