That new Amumu skin is amaze.

Also im gonna start playing Jungle Amumu because i dont really get enough cs in lane to become tanky. Any tips? i tried 1/15/14 starting with regrowth pendant in a custom with a friend and i could clear blue wolves and wraiths before going back and getting a Philo. (Mana problems when blue is down and not respawned made me get this)

You made a good choice my friend. Once you start doing jungle Amumu, you will never, EVER want to lane again.

First thing I would do is get Cloth Armor + 5 pots. This will ensure that you mitigate quite a bit of damage that jungle creeps deal to you, and ensure your survival. Start at blue first, and its a must. You are a mana hungry SOB and having the blue buff will ensure you can use all of your abilities while jungling. Have your teammates guard you from any counter-jungling activity, and have 1-2 of them help you leash when the blue buff golem spawns.

Then you pretty much go down the jungle and take out the Wolves camp, the Wraiths camp, then the Red buff camp, then the Golem camp. Be sure to use your health pots at Ancient Golem, Elder Lizard, and the Golem camps. By the time you clear out the entire jungle, you should have 1-2 health pots left, have red and blue buff on you, and have 1 in Bandage Toss. Go heal up using the remainder of your health pots, and gank enemies in bottom or mid lane, if at all possible.

Oh and things to watch out for: blue buff stealing (high risk, high reward), and enemy stealing the blue wraiths (low risk, low reward; this is mostly an early game counter-jungling strategy that will set the targeted enemy jungler back a bit). Of course, these are counter-jungling strategies, so feel free to use this strategies to your own advantage (though at your own risk!)

After that you can continue jungling, ganking, and build up your tanky items. You can convert the Cloth Armor into Aegis of the Legion or Thornmail.

My early game ability build: 1 Despair --> 1 Tantrum --> 1 Despair ---> 1 Bandage Toss --> 1 Tantrum --> 1 Curse of the Sad Mummy (ultimate).

Oh and most importantly...since you are a jungler, be sure to have wards up at brush adjacent to lanes, your blue buff camp, red buff camp, dragon (early-mid game), and Baron (late game). I cannot tell enough how wards are so helpful to you, especially as a jungler. It could save your life, or a teammate's life. And prevent an enemy jungler (or any other enemies) from stealing the buffs you need.

Edit: Dang it Manu ninjaed me. =(
