machete > madreds (> wriggles if you need the ward and ll in teamfights - noc has enough sustain in the jungle without ll)

an early brutalizer will amplify your damage output drasticly (if you can afford it due to succesfull ganks,...)

phage is strong for his earlygame too

good earlygame defensive items are: frozen mallet, warmogs, GA

nice damage specific bruiser items for noc: maw of malmortius, wits end, atmas, randuins (think about it as a slow tool if you don't own a frozen mallet)

lategame damage: BC, Bloodthirster, Blade of he ruined King (another good slow tool if you don't have one), Last whisperer,

Zekes and aegis can be good teampicks too

Noc is no glasscannon champion and he needs a Guardian Angel if you don't build tanky enough

I like to play Noc pretty tanky > tanky because he doesn't need many offensive items to deal good amounts of damage
