Playing Nocturne is a bit more nuance related than most think, especially if you plan on ganking pre-6. First of all, Nocturne is one of the few junglers where you can build full tank, save one offensive item, and do relevant damage later on while being hard to kill. Second, knowing how to use your Q with your E properly makes ganking a lot easier. Stay on the path as much as possible for the bonus AD and MS. E should be maxed second for the longer fear duration.

Running the right runes also helps. It can be a matter of preference with him, but I run AD Marks and life steal Quints. He benefits pretty well from AD, doesn't really need AS due to his W passive, and the life steal scales fairly well on it's own when combined with your passive and Spirit Visage. I hope this helped some.
