I don't understand where people get the idea that he has no mana problems. He's easily the most mana-intensive jungler in the entire game. He's so mana hungry that by using all of his abilities you can actually go oom EVEN WITH BLUE. Do you need to use all of your abilities for every camp? No, but it does make you faster, so of course it's good.

Saying he can still clear the jungle reasonably well without blue buff is one thing. But being completely baffled at the prospect that his jungle clear is blue dependent, and saying things like "I can't see that in any angle of his jungling." is just plain being ignorant.

The fact is, even if you ONLY use Q and W while clearing the jungle, you'll go oom extremely fast without blue buff early on. You can only sort of get by in the jungle without blue, that's by ONLY using your Q. But then your health and clear-time go to shit, so it's not worth doing.
