Starting Items on Junglers

[quote=Trojan995]I just tested jungle Xin Zhao on the superior route. I could complete the standard route with a cloth armor, but not a dagger. In terms of superior route (which I tested with 4 items - vampiric scepter, cloth armor, long sword, dagger. I bought cloth armor on the first trip back every time except for the cloth armor start, where I bought a long sword), I got roughly the same times every time. I think all the jungle routes were about equal (the discrepancies in time being attributed to player error), except for the Long Sword which was faster than the average by about 5 seconds. However, long sword had the lowest health throughout the first portion of the jungle. I almost died at mini golems. The rest of the jungle routes had decent health - dagger being the next highest, after that the cloth armor, with vampiric scepter having stupidly amazing health for the entire jungle route. Lesson? On a superior route, ALWAYS take vampiric scepter. It doesn't really slow you down, and it makes sure your jungle is safe beyond a shadow of a doubt. Now, back to testing the normal route! EDIT: Don't even try anything other than cloth armor + 5 health potions on the normal route. doesn't work.[/quote]
