if you want to one shot as ap jax. you don't build rageblade first of all.

item 3146 item 3115 item 3100 item 3020 item 3089 item 3285

if u time your W with your ult passive it does nearly 2k damage guaranteed kill unless they flash or something. Q + 2 autos + gunblade active + W and auto + ult passive in total will do 3.5k damage or so. more than enough to kill squishies.

Buy this for true power: item 3146 item 3115 item 3100 item 3047 item 3742 item 3065

To really go overboard, you can replace the tank items with item 3089 item 3285 (ultimate proc applies luden's), and don't forget to use gunblade's active for Bonus Burst

But you'll die right after killing someone if you go FULL ap LOL

yeah, I was going for a build where you don't explode mid-air during your jump LOL.

Although I have to say that full AP Jax is one of the strongest duelists and anti-mages.

if only there was an extra item slot for rageblade. that truly unlocks his sustained damage with the ult procs every other hit

I am hoping that with Nashor and Lich Bane, Jax would have enough "sustained burst" from W+Lich Bane+Nashor every 2 seconds to be a Nasus level damage threat, so he can focus on survival.

I actually think that AP Jax can focus on armor items for tankiness since he'll probably get 200+ MR with his AP.

Hextech, Rageblade, Lich bane, then maybe some AP defensive items such as Rylais/Hourglass/Abyssal. There's no one build wreck all though, some champs will destroy Jax and it's best to modify your build based on your team comp and the enemy team comp.

It is possible to build full AP and still be tanky if the enemy team is only/mainly AP. The MR granted when your ult is activated scales with AP, combined with an Abyssal would make Jax not as easy to nuke.

for one shot potential, use lichbane, rabadons and ludens, though your E does very little for that as it has no ap scaleing. You need to ready your ult proc and then Q+W+AA, as the ult proc has the highest ap ratio in his kit, followed by q+w.

However, ap jax is a rather cheese thing, as he tends to blow up either befor he gets to his target or right after.

you use your E so ad carries dont burst you. you E jump on them and they die

In a world there neither peel nor escape skills on adc exist, that might be the case...
