Why not Karma tank jungle? [Discussion]

First off, I wanna say that I don't know if this is the correct board to post this so I apologize if it is in the wrong section.

So, a lot of you know of the tank Karma cheese build already, and if you don't, let me explain it in short: Tank Karma focuses mainly on CDR and Empowered W, (Using ult+W heals her for 20-40% of her missing health) that alone makes her for a great sustain tank non mentioning the CC she got in her kit.

I have tried it a few times in toplane, but since I never played Karma before I really suck at, so I want to bring her jungle to get used to her abilities.

Since I am a low elo scrub, I need help finding a viable build, and also your opinions.

Let's start from the jungle item: item 1416 item 1401 item 1402 All seem viable picks

item 1416: You attack faster and for each autoattack the cooldown on your R gets lowered by 1 second (That way you can spam the heal more). item 1401: 400 HP (+15% bonus health) This would mean bigger heals and overall more tankiness, maybe faster clear speeds too? item 1402: More damage and a nice movement speed boost/

Here is where things get hard, but we know that item 3065 is definitely a core item here, what we need to do now is focus on is CDR

I was thinking of maybe item 3706 > item 3065 > item 3047/item 3111 > item 3115 > item 3107 > item 3742

Or maybe this build item 3706 > item 3065 > item 3047/item 3111 > item 3025 > item 3157 > item 3102

I really don't know, I guess it depends on the enemy team comp too but I'm trying to figure out what items best synergize with Tank Karma.

What do you guys think? How would you build Tank Karma Jungle?

I feel that building her like Ivern would make a lot of sense.

I'd add a item 3091 somewhere.

Karma item 1402 I feel would be more useful so that you provided damage for ganks and movement speed always helps.., item 1401 would probably only be used in very situational matchups

core two items: item 3065 item 3157

an assortment of these items would be very good on her while her core already provides 20% cdr item 3027 item 3116 item 3143 item 3107 item 3083 item 3060 item 3512

important note: item 3165 is extremely viable for her, even for tank. It's an extremely effective way to top off the 40% cdr is you go with items that don't provide much (it may also be smart to take the mastery that increases your cap cdr to 45%)

boots: item 3111 or item 3047

Personal Thoughts: I don't think taking an attack speed item is too worth it. Not when you can get max cdr and other more useful stats other than a cheese 2-3 seconds off your ult in a fight
