League of Legends Season 2 Jungler Mastery Setup

The following mastery setup is a good general setup for any jungler in the game. The Tier conditions are not known yet. In this guide i assume that they won't be changed, so summoners have to spend at least 4/8/12/16/20 points unlock Tier 2/3/4/5/6 respectively.

Offense Tree

Tier 1

• Brute Force, 2 points: This means +2 damage, which is better than the other possibilities in this tier.
• Butcher, 2 points: +4 damage to monsters can speed up jungling.

Tier 2

• Alacrity, 4 points: 6% attack speed bonus. Attack speed is very useful on junglers.

Tier 3

• Deadliness, 4 points: +4% critical strike chance. This means more damage, faster jungling.
• Weapon Expertise, 1 point: +10% armor penetration. This really worth the point in my opinion, because most junglers use armor penetration runes.

Tier 4

• Lethality, 1 point: 10% critical strike damage. Worth the point.
• Vampirism, 3 points: 3% lifesteal. Better sustain, easier jungling.

Tier 5

• Sunder, 3 points: +6 armor penetration.

Tier 6

• Executioner, 1 point: +6% damage to targets below 40% health. Faster jungling.

As you can see i prefer offensive jungling. My opinion is that offensive junglers works better. They can clear the jungle faster and can help ganks more. Overall they are more efficient. We have spent 21 points, so 9 left for the Defensive tree.

Defense Tree

Tier 1

• Summoner's Resolve, 1 point: Smite is mandatory for every jungler. Improved smite is better.
• Hardiness, 2 points: +4 armor.
• Tough Skin, 2 points: 2 less damage taken from monsters. Helps jungling.

Tier 2

• Vigor, 3 points: 3 health regen per 5 seconds. Better sustain.

Tier 3

• Bladed Armor, 1 point: Return 6 damage to monsters and minions every attack. Very useful and mandatory for jungler in my opinion.

This is a pretty decent setup for a jungler. The only drawback is the lack of improved Flash spell. Of course others setups can be good too, but maxing out offense is the best i believe. More damage means faster jungling and better ganking.
