Is "Skirmisher's Sabre" outclassed right now?

item 3715 Before the nerfs, this used to be the most powerful jungle enchantment. Back when it was introduced, it allowed Warwick to instakill any carry with his ult and Devourer. Then it was nerfed but it was still extremely powerful due to increasing the dueling potential of many champions. Indeed, it was common to use Skirmisher's Sabre at top lane, even if that meant giving up Flash to get Smite.

Then it was finally nerfed; The debuff duration was reduced to 4 seconds (from 6). And then, everyone stopped using it, even though the only thing that was changed is that the debuff now lasts less time.

But is that nerf enough to make this item outclassed by item 3713 or item 3706?

I've heard that the only situation where you should use Skirmisher's Sabre is when there is a champion with stealth on the enemy team. But I don't know if that's true.

Trailblazer and Stalker are better with most junglers because they either have terrible clear speed or perhaps because it aids them in ganking. But you can definitely make a case for Skirmisher with any AD jungler, especially with devourer.

Item is a broken concept It's a single target mini exhaust that makes you impossible to duel People still take it on duelist champions such as Yi and Shyv
