Been working on a Jungle build for a little while now that focuses on attack speed and ap and was just wondering if you guys had some input on it.

I start to the to the obviously. After that I grab a . Then a get a . From there I get and then and finish up with a or if I need the armor?

Any ideas how to improve it or pretty solid?

Edit: Try to keep your comments on point here please. I'm not trying to come up with the best build. I'm trying to come up with the best AS/AP build.

Edit: Revision 1. Edit: Revision 2. Edit: Revision 3. Edit: Revision 4.

perhaps my bronzeness doesn't understand, but I personally don't like buying rod of ages unless it is like, the first item. I'd personally prefer a zhonyas but idk

Don't go AP if you want to actually be competitive. Xin needs two damage items and then to build tank, he has some options, he is viable with both devourer and warrior's. Warrior's gives you more early game pressure, devourer better late game scalling. If you go devourer you need to go BORK as you other damage item. If you go warrior's you can still go BORK but black cleaver works too. Devourer, BORK AND BC, works but only if you get ahead early as you'll be pretty damn squishy. For tank items you can go either randuin's or DMP for armor, and either banshee's or spirit visage for MR.

HP is for chumps, just heals and spears for days. If you use enough AS runes, swap boots out for Ionians, Tabi, or Mercs.

tbh, AP xin isn't as good as AD xin.

Blasting smite seems like an odd choice, I feel like you'd be better off with challenging smite (since you are going so heavy on attack speed) or chilling smite. Your aoe for jungle clear will already be quite good with your charge since you are going AP
Rod of Ages as your 4th item sounds terrible, and it’s unlikely games will consistently go long enough for this item to be worth it if you are buying it that late
All attack speed runes will make your jungle clear pretty slow to start off with, some AD runes would probably be more beneficial
You have no magic penetration or armor penetration, and no armor or magic resist yourself, just 1 health item. Your late game is going to be rough.

I don't have any great recommendations for you, I don't actually think an attack speed AP Xin Jungle is particularly great, but if it's working for you keep trying to improve it and hopefully you keep enjoying it.
