Aatrox Jungle Build With Sightstone?
Kinda wonder if this would be a good build and if sightstone helps in this new jungle.
Other options in place of sightstone are:
Thoughts?

It may be helpful I usually run sightstone if I'm either going to be power farming a lot or we are behind. Although I really feel with how I play Aatrox and I have been told it's worthless I usually build Spirit Visage with him. But it is just my preference.
It's an extremely squishy build. One of the main strengths about Aatrox is just how damn flexible he is as a jungler. His kit is suitable for both an AD heavy assassin diving back lines, a light fighter battling it out in an extended fight, or a tank as an initiator. Sightstone is never a bad item especially if you find your team lacking vision as it pays for itself after a number of wards, and reserves a slot for them. I would advise against having any pre-planned build and instead suggested items. Something like..
Snowballing - 
Tank needs - 
etc
So if you first pick Aatrox jungle and everyone on your team is squish, just build warrior into full tank, don't try to be a carry. If your team is fairly bulky with minimal damage, go high damage. Started snowballing but find yourself getting picked off after buying warrior into bork? Get yourself two tank items and see how you feel. To be honest his kit has tons of steroids so building with a little tank is more advisable because of being able to be tanky and still do damage with his AS steroids, extra damage every 3 autos, and ranged poke. Because of his kit's high attack speed I prefer raw AD items like and over items like . Also swifties are pretty bad, you'll want to get tenacity boots like 9 times out of 10. The only exception is if you feel like you can't afford to get warrior and need to go juggernaught and then get yourself ninja tabi.
Hope this helps! Aatrox is super flexible, so do keep that in mind. Happy hunting~
I normally pick up a Spirit Visage if its a very heavy AP team. I find that GA helps against balanced teams and causes more of an distraction / Kill deny.
Or is it better getting another combat / defensive item, and replace with
