An alternative is to Start with restored artifact instead to get the MP5 of Sands of Time or COnduit Gem and then quickly recall after first battle but I find Vampriic Shroud and the extra 100 health let you take one extra ability early on. this is critical for season 9 meta. I would rather nearly gurantee the kill at the Mid level 2 fight against nearly everyone except a thanatos jungle. You might have to back earliar than planned but if you get the two kills with yur jungle it more than makes up for it. Still ifind the 5MP5 from lost artifact and 2x Mana Potions is more than enough MP5.
If you manage the mana then you can go straight to Spear of Desolation saving the Artifact uppgrade for Tahuti or a situational item later.
Vampiric Shroud
Lost Artifact
Healing Potion
Mana Potion
Purification Beads
Divine Ruin could be your 3rd or 4th.
Tahuti can be 4th or last although I prefer last especially in a close match where I want the lifesteal.
Nimble Rod because I like having if ever so slightly some more tower/phoenix damage end game.
Upgrading to Sacrificial shroud is last because the whole point is to boost maximum power.
Sacrificial Shroud
Spear of Desolation
Bancroft's Talon
Divine Ruin
Typhon's Fang
Nimble Rod of Tahuti
Temporal Beads

Soul Reaver

Soul Gem
Corrupted Blink Rune
Aegis of Acceleration
Upgradting Lost Artifact is preference with options
1. You need MP5 and upgrade to Restored Artifact and then procceed to the options below
2. Reccomened Tahuti - Go straight to Spear of Desolation then Bancroft's or Divine Ruin with Tahuti Last in Divine Ruin build.
3. Chronos Pendant then Spear of Desolation and no Divine Ruin if going cooldown
4. Spear of desolation first then Charon's Coin if you desire speed and no divine ruin.
Honestly though likely always going to go Divine Ruin so just depending if going against a Change/Thanatos/Bastet/ other hardcore healers determine where to place it. I think many build get divine ruin a bit early. If its not both a jungle and mid healer then i find the sustain of lifesteal can prove a greater priortiy than trying to counter them.
More AOE and Tank Damage - Soul Reaver - Great if they are grouped up and you can hit many gods with your 1,2 or Ult. If in doubt and not needing Divine Ruin its this or Chronos Pendant in my opinion
More 1vs1 Damage - Polynomicon - One of my favorite Items. Opposite of Soul Reaver, I find it best if you find yourself stuck in smaller 1vs1 battles. 95% of time Soul Reaver is better.
Mobility and Early Sustain - Charon's Coin - If you want speed and non Lifesteal Sustain. Help's compensate for not having a true getaway but Chrono's pendant cooldown could be more beneficial if you are good are navigating backwards with her 1. The HP5 is only useful early on with how much health you'll gain if you are spamming abilities end game.
Cooldown Ability Spam - Chronos Pendant - Still A great item. Since no Stater cooldown you can still pair it with Spear of Desolation and be under cap.
Max Power and extra Health - Warlock Staff - Super underated the extra 325 health of it combined with Shroud can be the difference between an instant Jungler kill on you or not end game. You will over cap though with Damage buff and or Fire Giant on top of Bancroft when you get low.
Losing Team maintain the rest of the build if you can't get buffs.
Winning Team - Consider swapping bancroft or Tyhon's for Soul Gem to offset the absurd power of Warlock staff.
Most of you ar eprobably hating me for seeing this and are probably right. I have found though that having an extra 100 health at the beginining has massively changed the 2vs2 lvl 2 mid fight at the starts of games. Eset is Mana hungry but really. Only 5 MP5 and a couple of potions is enbough to rack up minion, jungle farm and enemy kills early on. You can always up to restored artifact of course if you are needing it. But the 100 health compared to Sands of Time has kept me alive in so many battles I say you should try.
End game the 15% bonus damage of Sacrifical Shroud plus 25% of Tahuti is absurd. The amount of instant kills are hilarious. When getting roughly 40% lifestyle at maximum health you never ever will notice the 5% health penalty of the shroud as long as you land 1 in 3 or 4 abilites on 1 enemy.
This is my first guide. Let me know your thoughts. I love deviating from the norm where possible but still need suggestions.

Even if you get MP5 from
Because Eset has fairly low cooldowns, I would switch up the build slightly to this order (also considering the mana issues from earlier).
I would normally recommend going
Because the build order I suggested reaches an optimal amount of penetration and is accounting for not building
One last touch you could add is Esets' ability levelling order. I might be wrong as I don't really play Eset but I think it's 1 > 4 > 2 > 3 if I remember correctly.
