Breastplate of Regrowth
Hastened Katana
Mail of Renewal
Golden Blade

Deathbringer
Tap each threat level to view Hercules’s threats
my 2ways of playing herc po#1 is more all around/tanky
po#2 is more speed and att speed
for the skill sequence make sure to have the 3rd skill ready when you have shield of regrowth for the rest go as you need/want
best suited for arena/joust

Not sure what exactly is going on in the 2nd build, which looks like a tragedy.
1. If i am going CDR i would rather have it from BoV on him rather than Prid. His ult isn't really one where you have to be in the middle of the other team to use, so it isn't as imperative that you have a shield for getting away or finishing once you hit your ult. He also has his dash, so you can always hit with the ult and then dash away if you need to. If you have Regrowth that early you can also pop your heal and speed away even faster.
2. I have used Regrowth that early and it can be good, but I usually don't like to put it that early because instead of building to his strength early game, you are taking away from it.
A few kind of examples of how i like to build him in arena
Warrior for the best base damage boost, blackthorn for the extra power and utility from cdr or mana regen, i go genji's next a lot depending on magical threat(extra mana regen and more cdr). If you want to cap your cdr in arena then BoV at the 4 is one way to do it.
rounding out this build you could go more aggressive or conservative
5 and 6 aggressive options
5 and 6 conservative options
Going this way you wouldn't have room for regrowth unless you used an alternative health/power item like
If want to have shield of regrowth later, then I might go, depending on situation
I find that a lot of times I am fine with 20-30% cdr on him so if you don't want to restrict your build by cdr as much and also build into his power early it can be pretty easy. Depending on how the match is going something like these can work.
support your healing/group healing
Full damage cheese build:
Warrior tabi > sell for elixir of speed and brawler beat stick late game
Jotunn's wrath
Crusher
Arondight
Heartseeker
Void shield
However, I do recommend taking devampis advice and building as a tanky bruiser.
The first build you use only 25% crit and low AA speed which is unreliable, you're better of bursting someone from your abilities making
Best thing is probably still going more traditionally tanky. your full damage may work at your lvl of play however at high lvl were people know the cheese this build will suffer.
