Now I don't have as much experience as some might in regards to jungling Shaco (particularly in ranked, though I've only ever lost a single ranked game as Shaco), however I do have a decent understanding of how the items function in his kit.

For starters Devourer is currently bugged as hell with Shaco, creating an extra wolf every single time he ults that sticks around until sated. On occasion these wolves will even disturb your pathing effectively being able to unit block you with enough of them running around, not to mention the entire pack of wolves clearly highlight which is the real Shaco. In theory the idea is rather cute that you and your clone could deal an extra 180 dmage each every 2 attacks, but that helps you with... Dragon? Nashor? Enemies that decide to not move at all? Tanks? Point is, you rarely get a good chance to just wail on people long enough to make the item worth it for actually fighting.

On to Warrior enchant, it gives you, well, everything you want as AD Shaco. CDR for more trickery and faster clears, that juicy AD and armor pen for when you Decieve backstab an enemy in a gank. All in all it's a great enchant for Shaco if you are playing as an AD assassin, and Devourer currently is just pretty bad for him especially since it is bugged and removes any sort of deception from his ult until fully sated.

Main points aside I've also found AP Shaco in the jungle to be... interesting since boxes and Runeglaive is just so strong for fast clears, but your ganks are pretty bad unless the enemy willingly walks into an AP Shaco's box that was dropped in their lane or just gets super greedy chasing you. Probably my least favorite way to try to play Shaco, but it's interesting if you've never tried it before.
