I feel like I'm taking more damage on my first clear now

I've been practicing my pathing as shyvana in the new jungle. I used to go chickens>red>wolves>blue>gromp>scuttlecrab. Doing that path now makes me a lot lower on health than I used to finish on my first clear. I feel like the clear is faster by a few seconds, but I'm trading tempo in for a lot of health. Even starting pots, I'm not sure I'd be healthy enough to gank after the first clear. I can still solo a dragon at level 4 with a upgraded jungle item and 2 pots, but that too feels like it does a lot more damage than it did last season.

I'm running Precision+sorcery runes right now. I couldn't see myself going resolve on shyvana as I'd never take iron skin (conditioning) and to be honest overgrowth is terrible for junglers because you get a lot less CS compared to a laner.

I haven't tried much jungling with the new runes, but not having armor/ magic resist runes in our sets makes the damage more.

Yeah. I was running flat armor yellows and blues on my old jungling page. I could easily do a full clear and have HP to spare.

Right. The +5 armor even if you take the sub-par resolve option wouldn't be quite good enough.

Wolves give a full level at level 1 now. Try starting with them before hitting up Raptors.

That'd probably work for the team with a red side start. Generally I like starting in my bot lane because I find them to be a little more cooperative with leashing.
