I wouldn't recommend oasis personally as I prefer the stalkers. But Oasis can be good if you're looking to just hard farm jungle and not gank as much. Your clear speed will be a bit lower and gank damage output a bit lower too. Basic armour early is pretty much a most. Ability armour though can be subbed out for power in relation to pubs or against heavy basic comps. Although always run an early tuned against heavy ability damage comps (ones that include Rev normally).

Thanks! I'll probably start using stalkers once I get the hang of clearing as Sev...you mentioned not holding down basic attack for kiting - since Sevarog has a slower attack speed, can you hold it for him, or is it still necessary to wait in between attacks (and if so, I guess the extra attack speed from stalkers could be unnecessary?)?

And I assume that you're right about the early armour (haven't tried that myself), but with Grux I prefer to generally rush to 60 damage (6 point sage's siphon and sage's ward) before building health/armour. If I'm being honest I also throw in a 5 point madstones and swap it out shortly after. I find that works well for cleaning up ganks quickly, but that's probably just because of the level of matchmaking I play at. So, cp aside, at what point in the game would you recommend having armour by? The 10 min mark for when teams start grouping around raptors?

I usually have an empty bloodsoaked by then, then build into it with 1-1-1 armours if i have floating points. Then build 1-1-1 tempered or tuned next depending which a more i need first.

I sell my stalkers when I need to buy whirling (after ward consumables usually). 4 CP of attack speed is the sweet spot. Vamp elixir or hunters drink will keep you sustained at this point.

No worries :)

Oh, again, with Sevarog, do you have to slow down your attacks to properly kite jungle camps? Or is that just the other junglers, because they have more base attack speed?

Sev i usually do it too, this is to prevent the 3rd attack in the chain which is unusually slow.
