So my favourite champion is Pantheon and I main him as a Jungler. There is a lot of people saying build 3 tank items, boots, one ad item, and your jungle item(Stalkers Blade Warrior). I don't know what to do. The damage he can dish out with his e and q is massive. I know this because I have gotten a pentakill when I used my full damage build. Still I don't know what kind of build I should use. Can anyone shed some light on the situation?
I'd say build depending on the enemy teams composition. If they're a bunch of squishy's, go all out with the damage. If your team's lacking a tank and the enemy's strong, aim to build tank.
Build what's needed. If you're unsure, go with your best judgement. I've seen both damage and tank builds work very efficiently on Pantheon! Additionally, you can always ask your team-mates what they feel they'd rather have back up their lanes.
I would recommend prioritizing your Stalker's Blade - Warrior first no matter what. After that, depending on how the game is going, you want to adjust your build accordingly.
Are you 6-0 with your team quite ahead of the enemy team? Feel free to get a bit more damage, namely a Last Whisper. Are you 2-2 and the game is fairly close, but you already have a tanky top laner? Build damage. Don't have a tanky top laner? Maybe get a Randuin's or Banshee's. Does the opposite team have a fed magic damage dealer? Grab a hexdrinker after your Stalker's Blade enchantment. Fed ADC? Rush a Randuin's or Thornmail after Stalker's Blade.
The way you build should be adjusted to each and every game scenario. Think about what your team needs most, and adjust accordingly. Best of luck =]
Full tank if you are behind 100% of the time
Damage early but prepare to transition to late game
You need to think about your team: You have Vayne and Orianna, both whom do decent amounts of damage. Go tank even if you are ahead. You have Volibear and Trundle, both of whom who are insane frontliners. Go damage since you need to make up for the lack of it.
