A cool trick I saw with early Amumu jungle

I recently played with a jungle amumu on our team and he wanted to start with the raptors (which I find pretty weird) and didn't want any help for clearing the jungle.

Turns out, he started with despair (W) and only took the aggro of the raptors before running to the red buff. Because he had Hunter's Talisman, he would basically heal by over 42 HP per second and not lose any health during his clearing. His W would be enough to keep the raptors running back and forth (they lose patience but then they would come back).

Why though? Must have taken forever to clear red alone when he could have had a botlane helping him with it. Time is the most important resource for junglers, if you don't use it properly you're pretty much playing to get carried, so I don't feel like wasting time just to not lose any HP at your first jungle camp is worth it.

Wow, I play Amumu a lot and have never tried that - definitely going to try it next game! Thanks for the tip!

Eve does it with her spikes on a normal pass. Doing this with Amumu seems like it'd just slow down his start way too much
