A more bruiser-y Jayce

[quote=GrandmasterD][quote=Mooninites] [quote=GrandmasterD] [quote=Mooninites] why would you build [[Youmuu's Ghostblade]] on jayce? [/quote] 20 arp does more for poke than Cleaver would. Also the active is great when you go all-in. [/quote] hmm I guess they changed the active, I thought the active was (possibly used to be?) melee only [/quote] I'm pretty sure you can also use it while melee, switch to ranged and still enjoy the 6 seconds.[/quote]

[quote=OTGBionicArm]You can. It's pretty awesome.[/quote]

[quote=SpawnOfHell]Wow there's been a lot of comments within the time I've been sleeping. [quote=OTGBionicArm] The build I currently run on [[Jayce]] is as follows; [[Mercury's Treads]], [[Youmuu's Ghostblade]], [[the bloodthirster]], [[Last Whisper]], [[Infinity Edge]] and [[Guardian Angel]] AD caster [[Jayce]] (With a splash of crit) is probably the best build for him still. He just doesn't do very much damage without a heavy offensive build and he doesn't have the CC to justify not doing very much damage with a defensive build. [/quote] I run CDR boots and [[trinity force]] rather than Mercs and Ghostblade, but I'll try this out instead. [quote=OTGBionicArm][[Muramana]] is still good if you feel like the game will last forever, or your jungler will never give you blue buff.. but meh...[/quote] I mostly play top lane. Mid just doesn't fit with me at all, so I rarely ever get blue buff as a result, unless I take it myself. I suppose if I play mid with a manaless jungler, or hell any jungler since the Spirit changes I could go without it. [quote=utopus] Yeah OTG's got it right. Defensive boots, [[the bloodthirster]] and [[last whisper]] are core. Jayce CAN be built bruiser i guess, Probably something like [[frozen heart]] (for defense & CDR & mana), [[frozen mallet]], and maybe a [[banshee's veil]].[/quote] Mallet is bleh. Frozen Heart could work, but I think I would rather [[iceborn gauntlet]] for the stats since it gives more mana and at least a little bit of damage. [quote=utopus]The thing is that jayce's spells are just too good to take advantage of. For instance, his [[hyper charge]] has such good scaling with AD, that not taking advantage of that would frankly be ludicrious.[/quote] Yeah I know this, but it's not like I'm trying to shoehorn [[jayce]] into the meta SFC/SV/Randuin's build or anything. I just need to figure out how I can fit tankiness into his build especially since everyone and their mother is running [[kha'zix]] jungle right now where I play leaving our only real tank to be our support. [quote=luizdeh] [[jayce]] is fun to play right now because he is underrated. He doesn't have the BEASTLY poke he used to have, but he does still have good poke. Those mana problems though...[/quote] Odd. I get the mana issues, but looking at his patch notes I don't see any actual nerfs to his poke damage, other than the one cooldown nerf to [[acceleration gate]]. Is there some indirect factor I missed? [quote=luizdeh]20 arp does more for poke than Cleaver would. Also the active is great when you go all-in.[/quote] I never liked [[the black cleaver]] on [[jayce]] tbh. Funnily enough I never considered Ghostblade even though I've been running it on [[pantheon]] and [[wukong]] for a while. Got to try this. So far it looks like I should be sticking to his standard core, then [i]maybe[/i] if the situation really demands I build tanky I'll go [[randuin's omen]]/[[maw of malmortius]]/[[spirit visage]] for defenses.[/quote]
