You don't need both Obsidian and magus in the same build, the latter reduces the penetration of the former.

Are you going to keep on about this? You can get both, but you need a good reason for it. Magus on it's own should be fine in a lot of scenarios.

I think some of the builds need a revision:

Build 1: No cdr until last item? Bancrofts, magi shoes, chronos' pendant, magus, gem of iso, obsidian would be better.

Build 2: Typhons? Not really worth, and no gem of iso? Rather you just remove the build.

Build 3: cdr boots, soul gem, spear of magus, gem of iso, spear of desolation, rod of tahuti would be better, or, pen boots, chronos' pendant, magus, gem of iso, rod of tahuti, soul gem.

Build 4: Swap obsidian for rod of tahuti.

Build 5: Doom Orb isn't a good item due to it's cost.

Build 6: Swap soul gem for gem of iso, swap gem of iso for tahuti.

You may want to look at the patch notes before you start making builds with book of thoth and soul reaver.

As an FYI, Soul Reaver got a significant nerf, whereby the passive's bonus damage now has reduced damage after the first hit, and a CD to refresh its full damage potential...that makes it a lot less appealing.

Book of Thoth itself got some significant adjustments as well.
  • Book of Souls got a 10 power nerf, which makes it a bit less appealing as a T2 starter rush
    [*}Decreased Cost from 2800 to 2650 (this is actually nice, but the rest hurts it more)
  • Passive now only converts mana gained from Items (this is the big nerf)
  • Increased amount of Mana Converted to Magical Power from 3% to 6%
  • Increased Bonus Mana Conversion when Evolved from 2% to 3%
The issue with the above is that BoT's is now significantly weaker without items. Where, before, you could just build stacks and get a nice power boost from the mana conversion (from items AND your inherent mana), now it's only from items. It can end up maybe being as powerful in the end, but that means you have to build mana through various items throughout the build.

Also, a huge key item is missing... Gem of Isolation gets a lot of function out of his various abilities.
