Can you guys give me a detailed build on top-lane Jayce? I'm trying to learn him top as I want to expand my list of "champs I can use at top".

So here's the gist:

I've always wondered why people buy tear on Jayce. Yes, tear solves your mana issues and let's you poke but in a direct brawl he'll pretty much lose damage wise as tear doesn't give you any offensive stats compared to buying doran's blade or longsword.

I've also seen a pretty interesting build as of late that my friend recommends me if I'm going to play him. The items are Spirit of the elder Lizard and those Ice Gauntlets. He's reasoning was that the gauntlet gave him tankiness and some mana and a neat passive that compliments SoTL's passive in which you freeze them from their tracks while burning them with pure dmg as jayce can pretty much proc the Gauntelt's passive ever so often.

Then there's the typical build which is brutalizer > BT > situational items.

How do you guys build yours?
