Jax already builds tanky after 1-2 damage items. His ult makes him tanky too.

That looks like normal jax to me.

Go Tri-force then full tank for a real bruiser tank jax build

See, I'm thinking iceborn gauntlet could be potent on jax and could turn him into a tanky/chain-cc'ing menace. He'd lack a bit of the power of triforce, but with the added armor and the additional slow it could allow him to just e/auto people to death.

(I know I'm a little late to the party but I felt like I can provide some insight here) Speaking as someone who has played a very large amount of jax over the year's I've played league, (won't see too much in this season since I'm a jungler now but shifting back to my top lane home :p ) Iceborn is gimmicky at best which sucks. The slow is decent and the aoe is increased in size via ulti but in reality it's not very useful. All the stats from t-force surpass the effectiveness of iceborn. You should be more concerned with your split-puch capabilities and flat out damage/ survivability then the not being kited. With max q and a bit of cdr (runes, items, blue) it's very difficult to be knocked off unless something like an alistar is there since you'll kill the person or at least bring them to 10%

I mainly go item 3124 item 3153 item 3078 item 3156 item 3748 for damage usually 2-3 of these. item 3047 item 3009 item 3111 for boots item 3143 item 3102 item 3512 for a defensive

The Iceborn I have tried out in the past and the damage loss was significant, it was honestly not nearly as good as I personally hoped

item 3124 item 3111 item 3146 item 3053 item 3143 item 3065 is all you need, tank jax, dmg jax what ever you do both. the 2 damage items give you armor and mr with your ult, ther steraks gives you the HP you are lacking early which compliments your 2 damage items, then you get 2 HP/Res items to finish off your build. You should actually build in this order too, with the last 2 items depending on if you need MR or Armor first.
