Your thoughts on Nocturne right now?

I've been enjoying him a lot lately in the new jungle. Sustain is good, clears aren't bad, and he can farm really quickly once he gets Trailblazer. Though, despite some games where I do very well, I've also done REALLY badly. (Usually Warwick games. Fuck Warwick.)

So how well off is he in the new jungle? And some additional questions about builds:

Should I go for anything damage related beyond BotRK and Devourer if I'm not fed? I generally rarely have CDR, never seem to have a slot for Ghostblade anymore. Should I replace Devourer with the Warrior enchantment?

Do I even bother with ganks before 6? I never seem to have my laner in position to follow up, and usually they won't even say what's warded.

He is better than a lot of junglers from s4 because he can outsustain them.

Is BotRK better than Ghostblade on him? Sure it helps sustain, but when it comes to ganks and late game team fighting I would think it's more of a time to kill issue than a sustain issue. Might be something to look into, though I'll be the first to admit I'm not an expert on this.

As for ganks I'd say don't gank before 6, but if you see an opportunity to counter gank take it.

That is probably situational, depending on their ADC's mobility.

I'd agree, but at the same time I find botrk to be incredibly useful for its active and sustain. On the flip side, Ghost blade offers everything except life steal for him -- CDR for more ultimates, AD, armor pen, and the like.

So to take both, I'd have to sacrifice some defenses, but Randuin's and Banshee's are simply too.. IN my memory. I feel like I need to build them, and usually a GA on top of that for more.

Again I'm no expert on this, but I've seen Rengar players use Ghostblade in place of boots. Maybe that's an option?
