This would be a great item for my AP jungler, but what should I build into it? Emblem of Valor? That sounds underwhelming...

Depends on the AP jungler. You could get it for a Ninja Tabi, but that's kinda meh. Tanky AP Junglers can get Aegis of the Legion or Randuin's Omen so it's ok.

I don't think, given the small pool of AP junglers, Cloth Armor would be any good.

Totally Viable AP Junglers (As in, they can jungle like a jungler):
Diana, Fiddlesticks, Zyra, Elise, Amumu, Evelynn, Karthus

Diana - Boots give crucial movespeed for getting in range for E, doesn't need Cloth at ALL
Fidd - tbh he can jungle with a Faerie Charm and still be at full health all the time. Boots crucial for ganks.
Zyra - Learn to use your plants, take zero damage hue.
Elise - Idk, Spider Form gives sustain + tankiness already.
Amumu - Ganks, E provides enough damage reduction that you take literally 0 damage.
Evelynn - Her ganks suck if she runs at you at 320 MS without her ult. And even then she probably won't be in range for Red Buff to proc.
Karthus - Too squishy, requires cloth start unless maybe you use spell vamp quints or sth. Idk, only did this once.

With proper runes and junk, you shouldn't really need cloth. o:

However, you could save it for late, and build a GA with it, GA is OP :P

Fid can start with a ******* nothing and still be at 100% hp. I've seen some people go Doran's \ring on him, but i like boots+ 3 pots in case i lose hp from a gank or invade.

Many thanks to MissMaw, LaCorpse, Xiron, Arcana3 and Joxuu for making me sigs!

Well, for AP Junglers, you should start Boots 3 or even Amplifying Tome. For example, Fiddlesticks needs no health potions at all.

Thanks to jhoijhoi and LaCorpse for the amazing sigs!

How has everyone forgotten about Maokai? I start him off with cloth/pots andd later on build it into a FH. The same can also be said of Amumu, but right now im experimenting with starting him off with a Regrowth Pendant and a single pot. In general they are good for tanky junglers and decent in general but not reccommended for non support/tanky junglers.
