Anyone here jungle with Ezreal? I've had to do it more often lately, for a variety of reasons, and I'm curious if anyone else has some experience with it, so we could maybe swap strategies. FYI for those interested, it's very technically demanding in terms of ability use and positioning, and I don't recommend it over using a proper jungler. It's fun, though, and works in a pinch.

Here's what I do:

- 21/0/9 masteries. Havoc, Brute Force, CDR, AS%, etc. Identical to a standard laning build, except with Plentiful Bounty.

- Flat AD Marks, Flat Armor Seals, Scaling CDR Glyphs, Flat AD Quints. This is the same as my favorite laning set, so it's convenient for me.

- Cloth + 5 pots. Elixir of Fortitude + 6 pots is both faster and safer, but I don't like how it slows down my Wriggles, so I prefer the former.

- I like to start with a Wraith steal (nobody ever expects it), but any cycle of Wraiths/Golems/Wolves works in the friendly jungle as well.

- Camp rules: Wraiths require Smite (big one hurts too much), double Golems can be kited easily on either side, Wolves should abuse the leash range to minimize damage (easy on blue side, trickier on purple side), Ancient Golem and Elder Lizard should not be engaged without Madred's Razors (or a friendly leash from teammate in the case of Ancient Golem).

- Skill order is the lane standard. Q -> E -> Q -> W -> Q -> R. E at level 2 makes it really hard for people to mess with you, since there are a bajillion walls to escape over.

I've found that Mystic Shot is incredibly useful for minimizing damage. For example, even though I said to never fight BBG without Razors, you can pick off the little guys outside of melee range easily, and then self-leash BBG through the wall with MS + Arcane Shift to solo him if you must. Also, Rising Spell Force is really nice in the jungle, and kiting with MS gives easy stacks.
