I made this guide as I found a build that work for me(especially for something like Joust or Assault)
For the other build I use, go to http://www.smitefire.com/smite/guide/ao-kuang-an-in-depth-guide-to-raising-storms-2319
This is my 1st guide, so I am open to any suggestions
***this guide is still in progress. I was asked about my build, and this is just to get it out there for now. I will try to finish it as soon as possible***
Shoes of Focus Chronos' Pendant
This is what makes this build different. We want to to make the Cooldown as LOW as possible. Having both these items will allow you to basically cast a tornado as soon as the previous one is done. And between them they should give you enough Mana and Mana Regen to not have to worry about mana. Especially if you have the next item aswell
Gem of Isolation
This is really good for Ao Kuang as he can slow multiple gods at once, and as it is really irritating(thus part of the irritation build)
Rod of Tahuti
This is a really good item for any magic god, especially mage type one. Need I say more??
******
After this it depends on the situation
Obsidian Shard is what i normally take, but could be substituted for Focused Voidstone if protection is needed
TORNADOES
This is the bread and butter of this build(and Ao Kuang if you ask me)
damages many enemy gods at once, and can easily clear a creep wave(especially at full lvl with some nice items)
Max this as soon as you can
SLITHER
I take this early as a way of escaping if needed. But only max it last
SQUALL
Good ranged attack, but I only really put points into it(after the 1st lvl) after I maxed out Tornadoes
Spirit's Tempest
As a pretty powerfull, multi-god ulti it is very good. I recommend it be taken as often as possible. The only exception is if it is on a long cool down(which should be decreased by the items). In that case the order is Tornadoes > Squall >> Slither
*** this part will be updated as soon as I get a chance, so this is NOT complete***
Basically, cast your tornadoes as much as you can to case as much frustration as possible

I thank you kindly XD
What would you suggest in place of Soul Reaver??
I do not like Soul Reaver on Ao, because the passive is far too uncontrollable for a frequently used DoT ability like Tornadoes. Look for a different item that is easier to manage.
There is not a lot of information here. Ao by himself is irritating to most other Gods, but the build itself is not super annoying. I am on my iPod right now and cannot type very well. I will PM you when I get to my laptop for what you can do.
