Runic Echoes, no lifesteal / health regen
Does that make it a bad rush item? I want to try Karthus Jungle, and if I spend my first 2100 gold and lose the healing component of T2 machete, it might be better if finished 3rd or 4th. What do you think?
The mana restore seems really nice, though. However, I don't plan on having spell vamp in my build, and I'm not familiar with caster junglers. Would I die to jungle camps a lot? Any tips?
and yes you keep the lifesteal and passive mana regen in all the jungle items. With Karthus you just gotta be good at kiting around the camps and also hope your laners aren't bad and will actually leave their lane to come help you WHEN you get invaded, and you WILL get invaded when against most junglers.
