Imma pop the question up again since it went un-noticed, and the OP is out of date for new masteries.

Jungle WW, which masteries do you guys run? 9 in offense looks great, but I also want the extra buff duration... and I want a bunch of stuff from defense... So I dunno what to run.

9/21/0 is what saintvicious runs if it helps you. Get + AS / + Arpen %.


Personally, I play WW mostly as 0/21/9 Lanewick, but when I run him in the jungle, I keep the 21 defense as this is what WW profits most from: + MS, + CDR @18 (= more Q = more damage), + HP @18.

Defense tree also allows you to get away with very few medium HP items (Spirit Visage / Aegis?)

Cool cheers for the reply. That's what I've been running, but i feel bad about missing out on buff duration. Interessting that he takes AS and ARPen as opposed to CD and MPen. I spose it makes sense after thinking about it.

Really not seing what the Ionic Spark accomplishes for you in there. Your damage is decent and at that point, I would think frozen heart would add a lot more for you than Ionic Spark.

Bring your CDR up for more Qspam, and resists so that you're building in a way that's more in line with WW's role as a guy who loves long, drawn out fights and doesn't need late game damage items because your Q scales off enemy max health.

Also, why BT and ghostblade? Tankyness will take you farther, rather than praying that you can out-lifesteal their burst, KNOW that you can out-tank their burst and then lifesteal it back at your leisure. Also actual lifesteal items aren't as necessary on WW as you make them out to be - you already have a boss Q + wriggles, flat resists are way better.

So basically something like:

Mercs
Wriggles
Wits
[glacial shroud can go here if you want more armor than just wriggles at this point]
Spirit Visage
Frozen Heart
Triforce

Then sell Wriggles for BT.

I just dont see the reasons why you depart from the builds that other people have recommended here. You didn't really give a reason, either.


Sorry, I guess it wasn't clear that my build isn't entirely serious, that's my trollish build for cleaning up teamfights at 1200ELO

i go 9/12/9 on jungle warwick but i could see a case for 9/21/0
buff duration is extremely strong on warwick, in fact i think he might be the best jungle champ to have either buff elongated on (blue buff duration means you can easily get 3 ults off before your blue runs out, giving you awesome ganks thanks to cdr, red buff duration makes his ganks/protecting his jungle that much easier)

i run 21/0/9

defensive tree is pretty mediocre, it's pretty surprising to me to hear everyone rallying around a bunch of points in defensive on WW of all champs.

Yeah, I can see going 9 in defence to grab hardiness, tough skin, and Bladed armor, but other than that... meh. I also like getting free gold from smite, buff duration is stronger because he doesn't need the armor to clear safely, and having BLue longer makes his clear speed faster than grabing Bladed armor does.

Meh, I think that you underestimate the D tree a bit. The low level shit is all pretty decent, and the Movespeed/cdr is worth taking imo. You just need to stay away from the stupid shit that is a waste of points.

Plus D synergies pretty well with WW IMO. You arent looking to max auto damage, which is what the O tree is designed to do. D lets you stack up on early tank while you grab wriggles/wits.

IMO the main way you win as a tanky jungle now is by constantly outscaling the enemy damage. If you build defense fast enough, you will win the game. If you dont, you wont. And a head start is always nice.

Still don't see it. Initiator still feels like garbage to me, I've never been happy I've taken it (still take it every time I take 21 defensive, it just makes me sad) and I still like I'm flushing my points down the toilet when I spend 7(!!!!) of them on tier 1 masteries that have marginal gold value next to tier 1 offensive shit, whereas Offensive gives me 10%/10% penetration along with considerably faster and equally safe jungling.

WW's whole jungle is about auto damage. D tree works when you're not attacking a lot, I agree, hence why it works with like, tanky Rammus, Malphite, Amumu, etc, but I have to strongly disagree about WW not looking to max auto damage. You're wasting an insanely good steroid if you don't and his whole jungle speed is based on how well he attacks things.

Well, sure, if being able to actually outscale their damage on much less farm is even something you can do, but in my experience, I'm just trying to establish early and mid game map presence with junglers and I find the extra jungling speed is vital to WW's ability to do this.

According to Morello's post on the official forums, they are looking to lower warwick's sustain a bit and increase his damage/tweak abilities to give him more jungling speed.

Sigh ... source on this?

I really hope they don't remove Warwick's interesting niche and just turn him into every other speed jungler in the game. Why even mess with Warwick? As far as I can tell almost nobody plays him.

Which is the problem, nobody plays him. He is outclassed both in lane and in the jungle currently. Lots of people love him though, so if he'd be buffed, there would be a lot of players picking him back up.

And WW does not have an interesting niche. He does not lose health in the jungle, but that does not really lead to anything if you can still be 1v1'd by practically all jungle bruisers. He is slow, can't duel, and can't gank until level 6. Not dying to jungle creeps is not much of a niche

Warwick is vastly better in jungle than most people think. He's actually a very solid dueler if you have some mana or red buff and has monster ganks post level 6. He also has a monster late game.

Basically you just farm jungle till you have Madred's and then never go back again unless you REALLY need to buy something. Gank a lane for a free kill every time/forceout every time your ult is up.

Some guy on the LoL forums posted a 'riot why no love to warwick's thread. Morello replied that they are looking to tweak him a bit - primarily they want to increase his jungling speed (by adjusting his stats or abilities, basically his W) and nerf his sustain. he clarified that they r not looking to remove the sustain just reduce it slightly. Also they don't want to give him AOE, they still want him to be an autoattack based jungler

A couple questions:

Im lvl 14, playing pubs nothing ranked.

Is warmogs good on him? I like to build warwick as a tank then get atmas or 2 for the dmg.

also, whenever i try to pure jungle its so slow, is it supposed to be that slow? ill be level 4 and my teammates are 6 or so

In general I wouldn't suggest jungling before level 30 (or at least mid 20s). It's so slow without full masteries and at least some set of runes that you just end up super underleveled.

With regard to Lanewick items, no Warmog's. Because of his lifesteal, Warwick scales best with MR/Armor, not HP. Stuff you generally want every game on Lanewick is basically Wriggles, Philo Stone, and Wit's End. After this it's pretty situational.

He's slow by nature but hopefully not that slow. Make sure to start with a longsword, cloth armor is too slow on him, and pick up some of the offensive masteries.

Warmogs is fine but it's not nearly as good on him as resistences like aegis or items that build out of negatron cloak or chain vest. With armor/mr, each point of health you gain with your passive/Q will be harder for your opponents to break through, so it's like it's multiplying the health gain. There is similar scaling on flat health but it's not as efficient, it is good to get a bit of raw hp though.

Consider that WW gets a lot of HP back from attacks / Q, but that the actual amount you get back is not going to change very much with a standard tank build (only exception being spirit visage). If you have more resists each point of the health you steal will last you longer than if you just have more HP (more commonly referred to as Effective HP or EHP).

I personally wouldn't get Warmogs on WW since his kit synergizes with resists and on-hit items so much.

Why would u ever run 21 in O on ww? As solo top you're an off tank... And I gotta laugh at whoever recomended armour penetration him... Have any of you read his skills? He does pure magic damage... I run 0/21/9 for mass harassing/easy survivability early game... I've only really lost to rivens with this (pre nerf), and there are a couple of other champions that cause some trouble(vlad with his higher sustain comes to mind)... I just think that most of you are looking at this hero in a completely wrong way... U should be playing him kind of like a nidalee where you can run up auto attack - take some damage then q him to heal then run away to wait for cool downs... This makes people scream op at me all the time..; Not to mention a q r q ignite combo...
And no never go atmogs on him, again: you do magic damage... I'm also confused about the wriggles pick up... I never get this item on lanewick prefering to rush sunfire cloak to make my pushing presence more of a factor if I'm against ad especially if it's an ad jungler as well.. Otherwise wit's end 1st... WW is like the anti ad, the less ap on their team the better. wit's/FH are teh only items that I would consider core on him.. I go madred's last or whenever I think that I'm tank "enough" (sometimes never)
Mogwai: you're comparison is retarded because you do magic damage not phyical so it's completely irrelevant... The amount of people who are building ad items on this char is hilarious... sigh.
Oh yeah, I almost always go sorc boots on him ^_^;: that magic penetration fucks people up early game, I also think that ms quints are essential because they simply make you faster than your opponent during the harassing stage to beable to easilly abuse q (not to mention that with E you turn into an Olympic medal runner)
Don't underestimate the power of void staff/sorc boots/madreds (if you have another tank on your team). -this is after FH/wit's/armour or mr item depending on enemy team. I don't say that this is core, but it makes your damage output fricking insane ;o.
I've also tried running him ap... You will never lose 1v1- but your pretty useless in team fights xD (if the enemy team understands that your a glass cannon)
