Smite is an online battleground between mythical gods. Players choose from a selection of gods, join session-based arena combat and use custom powers and team tactics against other players and minions. Smite is inspired by Defense of the Ancients (DotA) but instead of being above the action, the third-person camera brings you right into the combat. And, instead of clicking a map, you use WASD to move, dodge, and fight your way through the detailed graphics of SMITE's battlegrounds.
SMITEFire is the place to find the perfect build guide to take your game to the next level. Learn how to play a new god, or fine tune your favorite SMITE gods’s build and strategy.

Your build is somewhat decent, but not nearly optimal. Warlock's Staff is a bit on the weaker side right now, but is still a well-balanced item for him.
Bancroft's Talon isn't necessary. He's got healing in his kit. You're better off getting pen earlier.
Speaking of pen, the only item you've got for pen (not counting the 10 flat from Magi) is Spear of Desolation. That is not the best pen item for him. You can go with Void Stone if you need some early protections. Spear of the Magus is typically his go-to offensive pen item due to the stacking from Expose Evil and Recall Demons. You can also consider Divine Ruin if you want anti-heal.
With the high health from Warlock's, if you want better survivability, it's not just about health. You'd be served well by getting a good balanced protection item...either Spirit Robe or Mantle of Discord are good choices.
Soul Reaver isn't bad, but it's a full offensive item, and Zhong is a better bruiser.
