He's pretty bad if he's NOT jungling. However, a jungler's purpose is to gank, which is why I disagree with the guy above me's method.

Get W first, along with cloth armor and 5 red pots. I prefer 21/0/9 masteries and use all attack speed runes. You can start with the big wolf, kill it, then move up to get your blue buff since wolves spawn before golem. Don't forget that smite works with spell vamp, so using it on the big golem with your W active restores your health. After you clear that spawn, throw an axe into the small wolves to get a head start on them. You can spam your axe if you throw it at your feet since you'll pick it up. Move to wraith, focus the big one. You can hit all 4 wraiths if you axe correctly. Then move to small golems. Your smite should be almost up when you go to kill red. Your health will be kind of low at this point, around 300-400, so it's up to you if you want to gank. If you have a couple of people with stuns in a lane, it should be an easy two kills for you. You should be maxing reckless swing first. Having a 340 nuke at level 9 is over a 1/3 of some champs' health, it is really amazing. Some people like to get 2 levels in undertow, which is ok. Of course you can always adjust for your team and the enemy team. Wriggle's is always the first item you want. He's one of the few champs that zerker greaves work well on imo, but you can get swiftness for chasing if you want. Merc treads aren't bad, but your ult will normally be up for team fights. Baron is an easy kill before 20 minutes as long as you have your wriggles and stark's.
