If you activate your W while in cannon form, the AS is still applied to your hammer form.
If your new to jayce I wouldn't suggest a build without a mana item till your comfortable with his extreme mana costs. even then manamune is the best option for most (but not all) jayce players at all points so you can consistently poke with eq
Got pretty fucked up early game though. The enemy team didn't react very well to the long distance poke. It seemed OK, but mana intense and a bad early.
