Rushing Deathbringer is a personal choice of mine but has almost always guaranteed me or my team first blood. [You may substitute Deathbringer for Heartseeker or Rage (If you purchase Rage then you do not need to get Deathbringer.)]
Malice synergizes well with Deathbringer cause the bleed passive on it to scale.(Only purchase Malice if you have purchased Deathbringer.)
Warrior Tabi is a must since there is very little penetration in this build. (Unless you purchase Titan's Bane.)
Hastened Fatalis is optional. (I use it for the passive to chase down extra kills.)
The Executioner is one your main sources of penetration to this build.
Jotunn's Wrath is the finale item to purchase for the cool-down reduction. (May be replaced by Hydra's Lament.)
1-Vanish: This is your only escape and or juke.
a. This ability can be used to quickly secure a kill on a low health enemy. (also causes bleed)
b. Be cautious when using this ability to secure kills as if it is on cool-down you have no escape.
2-Decoy: The minion and jungle ability.
a. Use this ability to taunt enemy minions and jungle creeps so they turn their backs to you.
b. When using this ability on minions always position the decoy by the ranged attacks for best results.
3-Aimed Strike: The heavy hitter.
a. Always use this ability when you are about to attack an enemy god.
b. Can be activated while vanished.
4-Assassinate: The name says enough.
a. Use this ability to catch enemy gods that are running around without their team.
b. This ability can be used as an escape if needed but it is not recommended.
This build has been tested and proven it's worth on more then one occasion.

Deathbringer and Rage aren't your best bet rushing your first item. I know it's your personal option, but I'll tell you why.
1. It's expensive. You won't get first blood plainly because by the time you finish the item, around 5 kills will have taken place.
2. It's not as important as other stats at the beginning. You're much better off getting some basic mobility from boots or cooldown reduction.
As many times as I tell inexperienced Loki players, this keeps coming back. Hastened Fatalis is straightforwardly a bad item on a god like Loki. A god with essentially the highest amount of burst in SMITE from abilities, you go movement speed and attack speed? Waste of an item slot. While it may help you chase down your kills, if you max CDR instead, you can spam Vanish and achieve the same thing. Not only that, you'll get more power along with it.
executioner and Asi isn't the best on Loki, but you can make do with Asi if you want but... executioner relies on your basic attacks which you don't really do much with. titian's bane will give you flat penetration to achieve the same result of doing the same amount of damage. You won't be AA'ing the enemy long enough to get 3 stacks from executioner to apply the passive appropriately. This item is better on hunters.
Should probably level your ult at level 9.
Your item explanations don't explain anything, sorry. You skim the surface of what you can explain of Loki's abilities. You need to type up some sort of gameplay, what you do in the actual game for this to be an actual guide.
I'm going to downvote because of my obvious disliking, but I'm always up for a re-review and more chances. Just PM me! :D. Also take note, I've been saying for quite a while I'm releasing a Loki guide for quite a while, but it's coming out very soon! Watch for that to see any examples and see how a proper guide is done xD. You can check my Ra guide out until then.
