How should I be building Xin-Zhao in the Jungle?

I prefer a tanky Xin build with Devourer and BotrK(get Cutlass after Devourer because the active improves your ganking and then get a giants Belt before you upgrade to BotrK. Prevents getting randomly killed) as dmg items and then Omen(Sunfire if its early enough in the game), SV(because it makes your w more potent. w with lifesteal, your attackspeed and the SV passiv makes you pretty much unkillable 1v1) and my last item is Iceborn/Locket(to max out cdr) in most games or warmogs,Banshee,Thornmail if a single champ on the enemy team is extra fed. If you can max cdr and have enough attackspeed you wont have any real cooldown on e and q. Open up with e,aa,q(for the reset),aa,aa and now your e is up again and you can continue to chase your target or switch focus. I always go for Mobi Boots after i upgraded my smite and even before i get Devourer for better ganking potential and sell them at around 30 mins for Mercs/Tabi

Runes/masteries: movementspeed quints und attackspeed reds +21/9/0

Skillorder: i prefer to max e first. More burst, better ganks, better clear and q is a one-point wonder with autoattackreset and lower cd on your other abilities anyways.

other possible items: I dont like Tri on jungle champs but if you are really really fed Warrior+Tri+Youmuu's is everything you need to win the game before 35 mins. BC in itself isnt a good item on the kind of attackspeed heavy Xin i play but if you team is full AD and you dont have someone else to do the job BC+your passiv shreds the armor of any high value target. Its also possible, if your early game went bad, to get Juggernaut instead of Devourer. BotrKs attackspeed is enough to deal dmg late and that way you can prevent yourself from falling further behind by getting killed while you try to farm up your Devourer. you just need to adapt the rest of your build a bit so you dont overcap cdr
