Hmh, well my opinion is that there are only a few other champs that need the blue buff more then jarvan does, but then again, thats mine. Still goes for red buff and dragon buff, but okey, u choose greed. Heart of gold in it self isn't that bad of a tanking item, also since it builds up to Randuin's omen, aldo that 1 is not in your build. I guess you could miss Utility master with more money per sec items, and replace the bluebuff with pots, aldo the blue buff also gives cooldown reduc. Anyway, who knows a fellow aggressive jarvan comes along and comments, because i find my self adepting to my lane partner and my opponents.

I in the mean while finally played your build, and it might be me but it did not work for me, at all.
I have to say, i dont have all the runes, (im missing the seals u got). But yet the damage i did was to slow and not nearly enough. Jarvan is pretty strong in the begining of the game, but only as a bruiser.

weak points were in deed getting oom and not doing enough damage.
a pro i guess was they notcied i was a tank and they did not attack me that fast, but little could i do as i did no dmg once again.

i dont think i will vote do, since your playstyle might be alot differant, and since this is your first (?) guide, u perhaps need to explain a bit more and more clear on how to play Jarvan this way.

Good luck in the future!

Cheers,

May.

thank you for responding the reason i dont get the buff help mastery is because i normally found my self playing with other players that normally need it more. than i do so i never even try to get or bother with that and ty for poointing it out about the exhaust mastery i am about to change i didnt notice i made that mistake and start this whole confusion. thank you for trying it out i know your gona like it. also about the hearth of gold i found it give u the early tankish and hp u need + the extra gold as is not enough for like super items it helps you make the extra gold for mana pots and wards that you will need early in the game speacially if u solo i allways find my self geting first blood and 2 or 3 assist before lvl 8 must be that im really good hahaha lol joking but it works for my game play im really agresive.

Glad to hear you are not mad at me or anything for commenting. The reason for the whole exhaust/ignite, is because u have in your Summoner skill, ignite and ghost. But in your Mastery tree a point in exhaust. Better to put it in Archmage savvy for the Demacian Standard.

About ur life, check Leaguecraft.com it gives u detail about everything, cooldown to dmg out put in a match (aprox).

Physical Damage Health 3957.6
Magical Damage Health 3121.19
Effective Health 3539.39

Health Regen (per 5) 100
Mana Regen (per 5) 70
Damage 111

Attacks 3.435

Total Criticals 0.687
Total Bonus Critical Damage 142.896

Total DPS 174.249

Total Damage inclusive 871.246

with all glyphs and total build etc.
Just a summ up.

Now a recommended Ashe, a hard champ for Jarvan to keep up to, ranged and fast.

Attacks 7.1
Total Life Stolen 1042.625

Total Criticals 3.692
Total Bonus Critical Damage 1185.132

Total DPS 834.1

Total Damage inclusive 4170.498

a Jarvan would get slowed and penetrated to death. U can't keep up with a ghost a ashe has, and standards+spear sucks to much mana, and a ignite wont help you that well.

In a team fight u'd even be worse off. Ashe as ranged as she is, would fire from a distance, the only hope u'd have is to simply not get targeted in the beginning and lots of sowling/stunning champs around you to let regain and over see a battle to give a chance to dodge out of a fight should you drop low. Ur defense stacking i think is simply not enough to overcome the dmg other champs do, and since u do barley to no damage in this form of build, no succes.

I myself play jarvan as tanky/dps i initiate a attack and try to dodge out while doing that ton of damage Phreak was talking about in the Champ. Spotlight. Do not forget, since u do so low dmg, u wont get that many kills or even assists during the lane phase.

i am rly bugged by the masteries :p
what build ur going, the money per 5 sec is nothing compared to a jarvan with blue buff that lasts longer, u can rly spam ur attacks, without running oom and there for missing a kill.
Its not like u get the money all at once, or more starting money.
u get 60g a minute. Bluebuff, makes u farm longer and more with mana :)
Let alone help u more in harresing/getting kills/assists.

Ill give it a try tonight and let you know how it went.
Cheers, a fello Jarvan fan.

Ty mayrzeal first of all i appreciate yr comment and suggestions , i play with exhaust and ghost , then also use flash , and in the end ignite was the most useful skill for me as it helps you get the assist gold or the kill it self and its normally use with ghost to catch up to any one.

second i dont know how u come up to say he only has 2400 total health after items with the amount of hp armor and magic resist you get you barely die in battle only reason you die if if u get ganked or ur the only tank with a bad team.

now i think that you should give it a try before you vote if u like it i know the build may sound weak but trust me its not.

I downvote because making a fake post on other account to thumbs up your build is pathetic

* did not vote
Bit sceptical, why ignite with jarvan as tank, also in your master tree, u put a point in improved exhaust? exhaust is better on Jarvan then Ignite btw. As u staed, he's slow, if u pick exhaust u got 4 (with sprint) abilities to keep up with other champs.

Also your total health would be around 2040
(source: leaguecraft.com) abit low for tanks, and protect and re-gain wont be enough to initiate and tank a full out fight

"Jarvan was designed as a initator, getting in to combat and out quickly while doing tons of damage" i think you should try and focus on that. (Champ. spotlight)

The 1 point in greed, im guessing u picked for the exspensive build u choose, But when u farm good, u wont need it, greed is not worth getting. I think its better that u put that 1 point in Utility master, since his out of mana realy fast, and the longer blue/red and dragon benefit him way more.

P.s. sorry to point this out, but Axl99fran joiing in the same date as u created this build and voting up? hmh.

Ill try it out and have a look, who knows im way off :)

Cheers.

May.
