Justification / Modifications:
Whirling Blade is maxed over Taunt (up to level 5) because you’ll be jungling more than ganking. If your allies ask for a gank and there’s a high probability of getting a kill or two in the nearby lane, the few levels of Taunt before level 5 should be enough. If you don’t anticipate ganking, max Whirling Blade before maxing Taunt. Take Decapitate whenever it’s available. 1 level of Terrifying Charge is acquired at level 2 for the increased jungling ability. Take further points into Terrifying Charge liberally depending on whether you need more Stats or a better Terrifying Charge.

30-Seconds-Guide:
– If you want to jungle successfully with Legionnaire you need to master the art of creep stacking. He kills 5 Creeps faster and with less health loss than 2 Creeps. There are good written and video guides for this. This Premium Guide for example.
– Once you farmed 1 tanking item and Portal Key initiate team fights and ganks.
– Use a courier to send you health potions while jungling. It is always more efficient than running back to the fountain to heal.
– Help your mid to maintain rune control and gank your lane at level 6 for a rather easy kill.
