I main Jax, maybe I can help a bit.

On old Jax, you would build pure damage, and get as much AD/AP as you could. New Jax isn't the same.

If anyone stands and fights Jax, his damage is off the charts with his innate + his ult proc. Add to that his ult providing a lot of AD/AP and you see that Jax already deals tons of damage without any items. You'll also notice he does most damage over time (sustained) as he needs time for his innate to stack and to get procs off of his ult, making him a great duelist.

With that in mind, you need to maximize staying power in fights. Usually I find the best way is to grab Warmog's, Atma's, and a Force of Nature, which is a great combo providing you damage, HP, armor, MR, and movespeed. For damage I always aim for a Gunblade and a Triforce. However, this is an extremely expensive build, and you probably won't get far into it.

for masteries: 21 in defense, 9 in offense. :)

Anything more I can help with, I'd be glad to.
