Making a decent Set build

I'm working on making a decent build for and really just wanted to run it by you guys for some feedback. My build is looking like this for now: , , either or , or a defense item if needed, , , or , and then a situational item. I'm trying to go for a decent balance between ability damage and AS with maybe a bit more focus on attack speed.

Do you mean as 3rd, 4th, and 5th items?

Yes, so Warrior, Hastened, stone cutting, qins , exe, situational for aa-based, for hybrid: warrior, hastened, stone cutting, jotunns, hydras, situational.

And sell boots for whatever you think fits best.

Also for that second build I suggest you could get Crusher 2nd instead and swap stone cutting for hastened

I'm assuming this is for Jungle role in Conquest.

I feel I've been successful trying for this as well. Auto attack gods are usually considered late game as they rely on itemization, which requires time/gold.

Starting the game as more ability based and then transitioning into an auto attack focus seems to be effective. That being said, on to the build.

: Pretty standard choice of boots. Could perhaps consider or even , but I prefer Warrior.

: I feel this may be a bit too early. As I mentioned above, focusing on abilities in the early game and then transitioning into a basic attack focus would mean that Hastened could be a bit premature here. In this item slot I would consider , which provides a great balance of ability and auto attack focus.

: I think this item could work, but I don't feel that it's very necessary. For one, Set's main clear, , has a very short cooldown as it is. Seeing as he will transition into a basic attack focus, paying for shorter cooldowns as a crutch would be losing out on efficiency as opposed to using abilities more wisely and building other things. This is the item slot I would consider getting in.

: A good item, but I feel it is a bit early in this slot. As jungler you will not likely be focusing too much on tanks during the laning/farming phases of the game. As Kriega mentioned, I would probably pick it up after /

: Similar to , I think it could work but ultimately feel that there are better options.

: Good item that gives you good physical protections in combination with .

: Good item against both squishies and tanks.

: Good item. I'd personally try to hold off on this as a late game pickup/boots replacement unless you are encountering heavy pressure in the mid game.

Other items to consider:

: Set is prone to taking heavy damage when getting in close to attack, and the lifesteal here can help alleviate some pressure.

: Enhanced camp clear, good if enemy team is grouping a lot.

: Recommended if you have a lead and you feel confident in your ability to pick up kills.

So if I had to build him, it would look something along the lines of:

(Replace Boots with , , or )

DV-8, thanks so much. I had thought of some of theses items myself, but wasn't sure how or when to build them. Golden blade3 was an item I never considered but your reasoning made me change my mind.

My friend, who plays jungle much more than I do, is building something like this:

Core: > > > .

To finish the build, he picks two of the following: , , , , .

I think DV-8's comment is great.

I will make a general point for an early , though. DV-8 is right that has a super low CD in general, but having an early 20% CDR means you can probably use the ability twice in an engagement, which is not a bad thing, especially since you're going to be prioritizing that ability first.

It also puts on a 13 second CD, which is better for initiating and possibly having it back up if you've gone in for a fight/kill, then are looking to retreat a hot situation.

Thus I also like Vini's suggestion, which I think is pretty much the meta direction right now.

But in all, I think there is plenty of flexibility in how you want to build him. I like the general balance of items right now, and I like that has some flexibility in his build style.
