Here is the build

starting:
first back:
(good mana sustain)
, maybe
if you got a kill or some other big gold spike.
Generally rush
into
(so good with his ult) and then consider getting
if you need mana,
for extra sticking power (makes your ult even more devastating)
for obvious reasons, and then depending on the enemy team's build, either
if against low MR, low AP,
against high MR, and
against low MR high AP.
Hunters machete does on hit damage and its mana regen isn't great. FIddle does no on hit damage for his clears. If you start dorans ring on fiddle jungle you can level 4 dragon easier, you can jungle until level 11 without having to back. If you go dorans ring on your first back you can get runeglave completed, a large rod, and boots, 1 pink, 1 green ward, and a sweeper. No one realized dorans ring does more damage than machete on fiddle.
Machete is important because of the gold it gives. It doesn't matter if he can sustain a bit longer with Doran's ring, because staying in the jungle longer without getting a jungle item is a major detriment to his gold income. the idea that fiddle doesn't AA during clears is a myth, he definitely gets several AAs in between his spells early on before drain's cooldown drops low enough to be used non-stop (drain lasts up to 5 seconds, where the cooldown is 10/9/8/7/6 seconds, meaning he only has it up 50-60% of the time early game, and the few seconds in between mean at least 2-3 AAs between spells. Additionally, having the AA damage on-hit helps him clear better without having to use mana to begin with, which means you can have mana more reliably available for banks, rather than with Doran's where you are ensured to never go totally OOM, but also aren't guaranteed to be able to clear without abilities.
Doran's definitely does more damage, but that's about it. There are pros and cons to both starts, but I prefer Machete in almost 80% of matches.
I never thought about the gold half of it. You have a very very good point. Then there is the pro that if you went blue or red smite you now have the 1000 true damage in the late game. You're very right. Machete is the way too go.
Not being serious Gold income runes baby!!
Most people do. It's just not that great as a first or second item so most people save it for a late game item.
If you're jungle fiddle no matter what on your first back you should buy Boots and finish Sorc's. At that point Fiendish Codex gives you extra ap and cooldown, at this phase in the game all fiddle needs outside of mana/regen, which you can bypass with proper spell management and a blue buff. Go into Athene's and just build situationally after that. If you want, Liandry's can be your third item.
