Starting Items on Junglers

[quote=theBMB][quote=Searz] Nasus will be a good jungler the moment they remove his "unending" power. (like they've said they're doing) [/quote] unending? you mean that the attack boost on his q will be temporary? That should drastically change the way you play him.[/quote]

[quote=Trojan995][quote=Searz] Xin should be good with Dagger+pot start. It's a part of one of his core items after all. [/quote] Which item are you talking about? [[the black cleaver]]? [[trinity force]]?[/quote]

[quote=Jebus McAzn]Cleaver I assume. Triforce isn't as common on Xin as TBC is.[/quote]

[quote=Searz]What Jebus said. Btw Jebus, have you tried going the superior path with Amumu, 1/8/21 and Regrowth? Is it any good?[/quote]

[quote=Jebus McAzn]I haven't tried it. I played 2 games today with jungle Cho'Gath using that route and it's been extremely effective so far - I got a 10 minute Heart of Gold and a 17 minute Rod of Ages both games. Maybe it's because Nomadz's Gragas and meltedsoul's Vayne are both strong, but I'm really liking the Philo Stone route. Cho'Gath is also a crazy strong jungler. I'll test the superior route with Amumu now.[/quote]

[quote=Jebus McAzn]I just tried a route with Amumu. You have to start at wraiths, and you do your first run successfully, picking up Philo Stone and a health pot. When you go back, your jungle is mostly natural but you get VERY low while doing red buff. I went 1/13/16 masteries (not 1/8/21) so I doubt that 1/8/21 would be better at staying alive. My skill order was EWEQE because I wanted 3 ranks of E at level 5 but you could DEFINITELY have a faster time with EWWEQ and you probably wouldn't fall so low during red. By the way, if Amumu tries to start at wolves with a Regrowth Pendant, he dies at double golems. I haven't tried it with 0/21/9 either.[/quote]

[quote=tinolas]Trinity Force is a very strong item on Xin Zhao (the strongest imo). But Vampiric Scepter is still superior to Dagger for jungling.[/quote]

[quote=Trojan995]I can certainly try building an early dagger - however, I'd build it into a trinity force, because I much prefer the bonus movespeed.[/quote]
