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.

His two, the mire field it leaves lasts for an additional 3 seconds after the ability is cancelled or ended but the damage aspect of it is only 2 shots. unless I am reading it wrong on how it works it only does the slow for the 3 seconds after the end of the ability. with no extra damage, so even then thinking about it i don't know that it would be that useful.
On the ult, again from my interpretation, all of his abilities in ult form only do 1 hit and whatever affect they do with that single hit.
If i am not mistaken, iso you really only want on gods that do continuous ticks like posieden with his ult and pool, or ares with his chains, fire or other gods with continuous damage, especially seeing as how it got nerfed from the 2 sec slow to the 1 sec slow.
Gem of Isolation isn't something I'd consider core on him. Barely even situational, if what I've tested is accurate.
So the slow would apply for a short while with his 1. If you get the first hit on his 2, the Iso slow can help confirm the 2nd hit, which means it can be somewhat useful there. It'll apply like normal on his 3 and ult. And it'll apply like normal in ult form on his 2 and 3. But except for his normal form 2, these are all very temporary slows, with no ticking or DoT damage to really make it effective and worthwhile.
The biggest question I had was applying the slow on his 1 in ult form. However, in jungle practice, I did a quick test on the moving Odin bot, and it didn't look like it applies the slow. Even though the 1 is technically an ability, you also cast it via standard basic, and I think the game considers it a basic. If it applied the slow, that would be nice, but since it doesn't (at least to my eye)...it just doesn't seem like a great pick to me.
Other than Iso, Ethereal Staff is built way too early in this build, Mantle of Discord is also too early IMO, and agreed that Urchin is too late (and I wouldn't get Urchin in a Support role personally).
