The walk through in my mind set of this build!

So, newly founded love for thanatos!
Although I know hes not a top tier jungle character, I still rather pick him over most assassin's sometimes.

In the sense of a speed jungling I figure well gotta hit all them XP camps ASAP while needing to get to the kills as well. So Speed Camp is always something you want to hit up for that movement boost.

Now with the first 2 items bringing out my movement speed as well, it helps when jumping in to get the kill or encountering that random character running through your jungle. (Thanatos swings his scythe quite slowly in the beginning) So until you have your Hastened you might want to rely on your death scythe ability and then soul reap for that hard hitter if they start to get too close.

Then over course running through you need a power hitting item so thats where the rest of the build starts coming in.
Really it says it all in the final build, you just want to keep warding up for yourself and your team to keep everyone from getting flanked, or knowing where another jungler is so you can stop them from helping out.
