This build works for most mages in my experience but for him in arena its unstoppable. The first game i played as him i used this build and finished with 15 kills and only 4 deaths so your survivabilty is quite high and the damage you do with your 1-2-3 combo after landing a first hit with a basic kill most gods instantly. Hope you guys enjoy this build as much as i do!

I will suggest an improved build in a simlar style to the original one: Shoes of the Magi, Chronos' Pendant, Soul Reaver, Spear of the Magus, Breastplate of Valor, Rod of Tahuti.
What I would actually build for Arena: Bancroft's Talon, Shoes of the Magi, Chronos' Pendant, Spear of the Magus, Typhon's Fang, Soul Reaver.

and i know i butchered the leveling order in all i honest i should have just left it out until i knew for sure
looking at the build now whats your opinion
Also my preference for starter item for arena is to skip getting a starter and just build into a tier 2 for your first power item or boots, e.g. Book of Souls when you want to build Soul Reaver. Then you can get 1 health and mana pot.
I get the idea of getting Doom Orb early in the build. It's cheap and gives a nice boost of power. At the same time, you have some decisions to make. IF you decide to go Warlock's Staff, you NEED to build it earlier...it's a stacking item, and to get the survivability you gain from it through the majority of the match, you need to build it much earlier. The latest I'd consider building it would be no later than 3rd.
Also, if you're building that stacking, you might want to rush more quickly than that...say, immediately after shoes. To help rush Staff, you might then decide to completely drop getting a blessing at all. If I wasn't stacking, I'd consider the blessing more, but with Warlock's, I'd probably bypass any blessing altogether.
In the end, the rest of the build order is up to you. You may want earlier damage, to which end you'd prioritize Spear of the Magus before Chronos' Pendant. Or you might want to spam abilities (likely my preference for him), and so I'd get Chronos before Spear.
So...for me, my own preference for a stock build would be to grab the mana buff, Shoes of the Magi, Warlock's Staff (situationally), Chronos' Pendant, Spear of the Magus, Mantle of Discord, situational.
But this is your guide. Continue experimenting and see what you like the best.
