While this start is geared towards support/solo because of the mana sustain, it is a tad slower to get items online due to the chalice choices! You are getting the chalices so you can maintain your mana, and thus sustain, then wards to be aware of invades to your duo/solo lanes!
Shoes
Chalice of Mana
Chalice of the Oracle
While you can get health chalice to help even more sustain in mid, lane, you can easily use the oracle chalice too if you wish, however if your duo and solo lanes are warding, you have more vision so oracle is less necessary! It's up to you.
Magic Shoes
Chalice of Healing
Chalice of Mana
Use this version For your base! These items should be in your build no matter whats happening, but is still flexible. This build does not and should not be build in this specific order as games may vary as I will explain!
~Shoes of Focus give you extra mana and CDR for sustain as well as a decent amount of power boost.
~Rod of Asclepius should be built early as anti-heal doenst fully affect this items healing bonus.
~Like Asclepius, Lotus Crown increases your player healing, however it is reduced by anti-heal items!
~Gem of Isolation should be a standard item on Aphrodite. not using it is just criminal considering her tick damage will slow the hell out of enemies and allow your team and yourself to both engage or escape!
~Chronos is a good choice for CDR.
!Rod of Tahuti is a good grab for mid and solo Aphro builds.
Shoes of Focus
Rod of Asclepius
Lotus Sickle
Gem of Isolation
Chronos' Pendant
Rod of Tahuti
This section should be used if you are countering a healer enemy team. The only difference here is the addition of Divine ruin and Pestilence for anti-heal to counter the enemy healers. You're still keeping Shoes of Focus for sustain, Asclepius and Lotus for healing, and Gem of Iso for mobility purposes.
Shoes of Focus
Rod of Asclepius
Divine Ruin
Lotus Sickle
Pestilence
Gem of Isolation
This build is solely for tankiness while still maintaining your utility aspect fo healing adn slowing htenemy for various purposes. Youre sixth item can be whatever you see fit at the time but this is the core for your tank build. It is very similar to your anti heal. Items can be switch in and out here for pestilence but pest has really good prots even w/o the anti-heal.
Shoes of Focus
Rod of Asclepius
Lotus Sickle
Gem of Isolation
Pestilence
In Mid and Solo lane you are fending for yourself so you don't need shell and meditation.
Aegis Amulet
Purification Beads
In every other role aside from mid and solo you are focused on your team so you should be giving them shell and med to keep them alive.
Magic Shell
Cloak of Meditation
While this build is really heavily meant for support Aphrodite, it can easily be manipulated into other roles, mid and solo, too as it has high sustain! It will also work well for Assault. However, make sure you are adjusting your build for your enemies too if you are playing a support type role! This build can do good damage but isn't meant for damage so be aware of that!

I feel you need to 100% separate your Support and Solo starts. Going for Support with no
Specifically, Guardian's has some great mana sustain built into it. You will want to start with that, and then fill out the rest of your early mana sustain with potions. In some instances I can see getting
In Solo, you're going to probably want
In Mid, again going 2 chalices is not a good idea...and also still not getting a blessing. Blessings were made specifically for Conquest starts, and provide a strong form of some kind of sustain for the early game, and I'm not sure why you're so averse to using them. Anyway, back to the Chalices in Mid...pretty early, and especially as Aphro, you'll need wards pretty early. That means, if you get both Healing and Mana chalices, you're going to have to sell one pretty quickly. Please don't use any of these starts.
Mid build should be different than Solo build, which should be different than Support build. None of these are really appropriate for any specific role. I can go more into this if you request. You need other item options listed, because late-game you'll sell Shoes, and your "full tank" build, which isn't full tank by any means, only has 5 items.
So yeah...these builds need a ton of work.
