This.

Stop buying philostone on solo top Jarvan. Your mana costs are perfectly fine in lane. Stop using W when you don't need it.

Philostone is overrated by low-mid elo players. Sure, it gives you mana and health regen in lane, with a solid income boost. But then you realize lose a straight up fight against your lane opponent. You dont survive ganks any more easily. If you're even in lane, you're just putting yourself behind statwise. If you're dominating lane, get some damage items to snowball some more kills, or some tankiness so you don't lose your advantage with the next jungle gank. If you're losing the lane, philostone isn't going to stop them from 1 shotting you. You want gold over time? Get a HoG.
