This is my build from YouTube @QwackyQwacker.
No need for power items, Ymir is strong as is.
The shoes provide enough power for Ymir to deal great damage, this pure tank build is sure to tank with power as well as high hp5 including stone of gia’s Passive. You’ll maintain 3400 health while holding high physical and magical defense.
Ps. This is my custom build I made myself from YouTube @QwackyQwacker

Not too sure about your choice of shoes and the Stone of Gaia. I'd consider potential replacements for Genji's Guard, such as Pestilence (you are the support).
Consider items like Void Stone (if you have a good mage), Pestilence (if enemy has healing), Witchblade (counter AA jg and ADC), and Midgardian Mail (overall good item) in your build. But otherwise, your build looks ok. I agree with Kriega about the relics.
Sov's 15 phys prot aura is good enough to cancel out the pen from any one flat pen item, and the HP5 is always helpful. Agreed that Stone of Gaia isn't as good...the HP5 got nerfed noticeably, and is absolutely situational with the passive. The HP5 is still strongest of all items, and the 400 health really is nice...but...well, I'd still consider more counter items. Qwacky does list Witchblade as an option, but Midgardian Mail should be another.
Gauntlet of Thebes is perhaps situational, and depending on build order, I might consider it as a late option in place of Stone of Gaia. Thing is, if going aggressive, Gauntlet really isn't a perfect fit. To get any protections out of it, you need stacks.
If facing more physical threats, I'd possibly even fit Sovereignty 2nd...and then follow up with either Void Stone (aggressive, almost deal true damage to squishies) or Genji's Guard (great all-around stats and amazing MP5) depending on my intent.
Here would be my main build cores...and if playing Conquest as Support, would add Guardian's Blessing as a starter.
And where is Blink Rune as a relic option, anyway? If going aggressive, it's absolutely a consideration. Not core anymore, due to the CD nerf, but still a valid option.
As far as i know, The go to shoes for support are either traveler shoes (faster rotations) or reinforced greaves (more early game tanking).
Youre the first person i ever heard recommend emperors armor. Is it good that late in the game? I thought it was a bad item like mail of renewal?
But yea otherwise build looks good. And you pretty much covered relics.
Not 100% sure about Shoes of the Magi but it's good for early aggression with Ymir. Some Guardian solos also build it as an alternative to Shoes of Focus.
