Why is it that the recommended enchant for the jungle items on Rek'Sai is Devourer?

After the base damage nerf to from 40 to 25, what benefit does it give her outside of the +50% attack speed and damage on-hit? Does it even apply on the splash damage for Queen's Wrath? If anything, and this is from personal experience, with how limited it has been with her would be the better choice. It gives her much needed AD (Which buffs all of her abilities; A good +90 damage on the full Bite true damage proc, and it gives her armor penetration, which she benefits greatly from.

So, just why? She already gets +60% attack speed from her ultimate passively.

Pre devourer nerf, what benefit did it give outside the 50% attack speed and damage on-hit? See? I can do this too.

Devourer has on-hit damage, she has an ability that makes her autos AoE (for three hits). I imagine the on-hit damage would apply in the AoE. Seems pretty strong to me.

It does, as does the hydra passive, making her a team fight monster.

Then it makes sense that Devourer would be recommended. Mind you, that does NOT make it the best... but it does make sense that they'd recommend it. ;)

Fair enough, and I haven't used warrior enough to weigh in on that side. However I have been playing her non-stop since she dropped and wrecking games with her, and I find that the devourer gives me consistent and reliable damage output without needing to be E reliant. Mind you the E burst is awesome, but keeping people in range long enough to stack to 100 fury is not the easiest thing in the world.

Attack speed simply works well on her, so the recommended item is the attack speed one. It doesn't mean devourer is the best on her though.

Recommended items should generally be ignored. They are really bad more often than not.

So I go devourer, and I consistently get upwards of 100+ magic damage per hit on her. When combined with a hydra she have an obscene amount of mixed damage, making her really hard to itemize against. Additionally it allows her to go two damage and three tank items and still remain relevant, effectively not having a damage cap.
