Any Kindred mains that could give some advice?

I'm looking to switch my champion pool from tanks to actual damage dealers. Last season I mained Rek'Sai, Ekko and Gragas (although I played a lot of Lee when I got bored of them). I'm looking to pick up an AD Jungler that has strong early game presence, which is my preference in a jungler. I'm looking for an opinion of Warrior vs Devourer. I personally feel like Warrior would be best, since she seems like more of a burst AD caster than a purely auto attack reliant jungler. Also, do you think BoRK is worth buying still? With the nerfs to it, the item itself just seems lackluster as a whole.

Not a Kindred main, but I did play a lot of Kindred when she was released up through patch 6.1. Haven't played her much since, as I've transitioned into ADC and she's pretty bad in that position atm.

As for your questions, I can help a bit. You definitely want Warrior over Devourer; your assessment is 100% correct for the reasons behind that. BotRK isn't worth buying unless you're up against something like a Mundo. Like you said, she's not a very auto-reliant champion, and she gets %HP damage from her passive and her E anyway. For jungle Kindred, I think the build would go something like this:

Tracker's Knife/Skirmisher's Sabre -> Warrior enchant -> Berserker's Greaves/Boots of Swiftness -> Essence Reaver -> Rapidfire Cannon -> Bloodthirster/Mercurial Scimitar -> Infinity Edge/Lord Dominik's Regards/Mortal Reminder. I'm not entirely sure, since I haven't played jungle Kindred yet on the current patch.

item 1412 item 3142 item 3094 item 3053 item 3022 item 3009 is usually a good build. BOTRK isn't as useful anymore because of the nerfs, so its better just to rush damage and pen like Youmuus and then start to get your RFC and slip into tankiness.
