Pick blessing based on position/mode
First guide I've made on here. High damage with most hits being crit.
Mainly use the spawns and sandstorm for escape and jumping into battle early game. And focus on spawn of set last as upgrading only increases their time on map not damage at all.
Switch out the potions for chalices as early as possible.
Definitely open to criticism and suggestions if anyone has any.
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.

As you've said you're open to criticism/discussion, here I am.
I haven't played him yet, other than Jungle practice. That said, I'm with Kriega that a bit higher MS early via boots is pretty important. If you were to start with 2 katanas, then I could see not getting boots, but as it is, they provide good utility for the price.
One huge issue here is that you don't invest much at all into pen. Yes, you have Asi here (which you probably don't need first but I'll get into that in a bit), which gives you some good flat pen. But no Stone Cutting Sword, or any other flat pen items hurts his damage potential. And if you're really considering investing in crits, then I think as a committed basic attack build, you need The Executioner in this specific case.
Golden Blade shouldn't be needed. You've got a super low CD on Skewer, and you have plenty of help if you want to do a combo with Spawn of Set or use Sandstorm.
Speaking of Sandstorm, you don't level it until level 4. Strongly suggest an early game level priority shift. Skewer first for the wave clear. Sandstorm 2nd for alternate wave clear (it actually has more damage potential through the cast than Skewer, but you shouldn't pass up Skewer 1st). Spawn of Set 3rd. Yes, your clear suffers a bit by not investing a 2nd point into Skewer, but you gain a huge, instant teleport for early ganking or escape potential. Then Skewer 4th, ult 5th, and prioritize Skewer first past that point.
As for starter, you say Attacker's Blessing or Assassin's Blessing depending on position. Suggest changing "position" to "mode" as Assassin's is probably only good in Conquest.
Back to Asi, you're getting it first for the lifesteal, but if you're clearing efficiently, the healing you get from Assassin's Blessing and a potion or two should be more than sufficient. You're not looking to box early. You're looking to burst with abilities and get in a few hits here and there. Asi is also quite expensive, and delays other items you could be getting that are significantly cheaper and get you places more quickly (hint on Boots again here).
Based on all this, the build just isn't at a place that I would comfortably suggest it, or use it myself.
