Also the early health masteries in defense is really nice for jax, in terms of akali, she's more on the AP heavy side, in terms of hybrid, so she'll probably be better off going down the AP side, even though I think that the AP route is clearly underpowered compared to the AD route. AP/level and MPen are probably both still worth it. the % AP isn't that great if deathcap isn't part of your build and flat AP is pretty weak, but CDR -> MPen and AP/level are both good masteries. | ||

The health bonus on defense tree is really nice for jax, probably not worth it for akali. | ||

But they're not comparable to AD/AP carry's going down offensive tree. | ||

The moment I read Smash's first reply I knew someone would bring this up. Smash is actually right; armor scales linearly in a concept known as effective health. Basically - what's important is not how much damage you mitigate, but rather how long you stay alive based on your current hp/armor. The same logic applies for hp/MR. The formula is EH = HP / (1-DR), and how long you survive is EH/DPS. Say you have a ranged AD dealing 100 dps (0 armor pen). If you have 1000hp and no armor, you will live for 10 seconds. Given your examples: 0 armor (0% DR, 1000 EH): 10 seconds (1000 hp / 100 dps) 100 armor (50% DR, 2000 EH): 20 seconds (1000/50, or 2000EH/100dps) 200 armor (66.6% Dr, 3000 EH): 30 seconds (1000/33.3, or 3000EH/100dps) TLDR: Each point of armor (or MR) increases your survivability linearly. The actual damage mitigated is meaningless; the important matter is how long you actually survive. This is why a flat % mitigation is better at high levels of armor. If you add 10% DR (multiplicative): 0 armor (0% DR) -> 10% DR: EH 1000 -> 1111, a 0.1 second increase in survival time 100 armor (50% DR) -> 55% DR: EH 2000 -> 2222, a 0.2 second increase in survival time 200 armor (66.6% DR) -> 70% DR: EH 3000 -> 3333, a 0.3 second increase in survival time If you're a squishy, you're still going to be blown up. But if you're already tanky, flat damage reduction gives you progressively more effective health, makes you even harder to kill. TLDR: Flat damage reduction gets better the higher your base armor/MR is. I'm guessing most people already understand that health and mitigation complement each other, which is why hp is good for champions with high resistances (Rammus) while mitigation is good for those with very high hp (Udyr's shield) or self sustain (Warwick, Irelia). | ||

Bladed Armor really isn't as good as it sounds, and 3 points of Meditation + Buff Duration is probably better than Vet's Scars and filler defensive stats if you really need the mana regen. Most AD junglers don't, though, so in general 21/9/0. | ||

Tradeoff in this situation is probably going to be the lifesteal and arpen from offensive for the increased buff duration and slight movement speed increase. Also not sure if the movement speed increase would offset the damage increase from deep offensive to make for faster jungle runs. | ||

(No champion specific really) Sorry noob questions, I haven't played LoL since the last patch because of desktop problems. I just played a game as Udyr going 0/21/9, and it worked very well. Slower clear then more offensive specs, but the +5% movement and 10% CC reduction are really nice. A lot of junglers are skipping the utility tree now. With the xp boost to the jungle, the only reason to sink 9 points in utility is for 20% buff duration and 2% movement. For Yi, Nocturne, or Rammus, that just doesn't seem like an efficient expenditure, particularly when the tradeoff is something like bladed armor, which significantly speeds clear times while increasing mitigation. | ||

Tradeoff in this situation is probably going to be the lifesteal and arpen from offensive for the increased buff duration and slight movement speed increase. Also not sure if the movement speed increase would offset the damage increase from deep offensive to make for faster jungle runs. Put it this way: are you giving up offensive stats for MS quints on all your junglers? The tradeoff from MS quints vs. offensive stat quints is WAY better than the tradeoff on Swiftness vs. Offense tree offensive stats (e.g. with runes you get 1.5% MS by giving up 3.33 ArPen, whereas with masteries you get 0.5% MS by giving up 2 ArPen). Unless you're already running MS quints and value MS highly enough to still want more (and there are some junglers who would do this, but not many of them), Swiftness is comparatively not a good way to get movement speed.

You're much better off getting your MS from other sources (quints, Defensive tree, etc.). If you're going 9 util, it should be for Meditation, and not Swiftness (because the tradeoff is much better since Meditation is the 2nd most point-efficient flat stat mastery)--otherwise you're better off not touching Util at all. | ||
