Couple of Jungle Rengar questions

So...I've been waiting to pick up and try out Rengar as he seems enjoyable and I don't really have an AD jungler I use much at the moment. I see a mix of builds on him where half seem to be going feral flare and the other half are just going elder lizard...is there a situation where you would go with one over the other?

My other question involves his necklace. Do you lose stacks if you sell one for the other? For instance you start with the yellow bone necklace for the ward...get a gank...and then later sell for the red which I assume most everyone would do....does the stacks persist...or do you lose the stacks you had on the other necklace?

Additionally...does anyone have build advice to go with the feral flare/elder lizard. Right now it's looking for me like elder lizard, ghostblade, tiamat, last whisper....then probably a randuins then upgrade tiamat. Thanks for the advice.

I go FF becaue it scales better into the game and gives him Att speed. ILl usually get flare and ghostblade then build tanky on him. As for the neck less no you dont lose stacks.

I'd suggest you to go for feral flare 90% of the time as it gives Rengar better scaling into lategame than Elder Lizard. Thus having quite a good synergy with the Bonetooth necklace . However in some cases the SotEL may be better for early pressures.

** Tiamat used to be a core item on Rengar but is far less needed than it used to be IMO**. BotRK is far better on him for different reasons, it gives him AS which synergies well with eQ and the magic damages provided by the Feral Flare. Those aa hurts quite a lot :) BotRK will help you to fight against this annoying tanky top too. The active may as well save your life/ kill that running prey :)

I go for CDR/Mobility boots most of the time. Mercury boots are quite interesting too. Again it depends on how the game goes and what you need.

Youmuu's Ghostblade is an absolute core item on him. It is really useful when it comes to your ult since it gives you the MS to catch those flying carries.

So the usual build order is the following (each number stands for a recall):

& 4 . Nothing big here.
& OR & 1 or 2 wards
OR & 1 or 2 wards. (You should be level 8-9 by now. Grab that , you won't lose stacks)
OR (depending on what you bought previously)
You should have around 25-30 stacks on your Madred by now so grab the .
/ (the one you didn't bought previously).
Go for tanky items from now on. You don't need more damages items since both teams should begin to regroup and you won't survive those TF if you don't have that :)

This build order is the "general" build order. But depending on how the game goes you may need to buy tanky items earlier. Especially if you're behind. DON'T BUY THE WRIGGLE LANTERN IF YOU DON'T HAVE 25-30 STACKS. The item is simply not cost efficient without the feral flare evolution and Rengar need those early damages to be efficient. You may want to take the last whisper if you're far ahead. But it makes you really squishy and at this stage of the game you don't want to give a shutdown. The W is interesting but won't make you last that long. Unlike many other assassins Rengar doesn't have any escape. Thrill Of The Hunt isn't an escape.

Hope this help :) Enjoy Rengo ! :D
