Oh boy this build is bad. 1 flat pen item (pen boots) mentioned as core, and no mention of obsidian shard.

Also no mention of deso, cdr boots, reaver, book of dead etc... despite building book of thoth.

Bancrofts + typhons? Did you forget that Vulcan is not Anubis or a Mage ADC?

An ideal book of thoth build could be something like: Book of Thoth, Shoes of Focus/ Shoes of the Magi, Divine Ruin/ Spear of Desolation, Obsidian Shard, Soul Reaver, Book of the Dead/ Ethereal Staff. Sell boots late for Elixir of Speed and Staff of Myrdinn or Chronos' Pendant or alternative.

A non-book build could be: Shoes of Focus, Spear of Desolation, Divine Ruin, Ethereal Staff, Obsidian Shard, Soul Reaver, sell boots late for Staff of Myrddin and speed elixir.

Is Thoth any good on him? I usually just skip it.

Lategame, yes (good scaling to make use of the high power). Chronos' Pendant rush build is weak (except for maybe someone like Nox, where you can start tier 2 shoes, lost artifact and a multi pot, then get cdr boots and chronos' - I don't get deso on her because I prioritise magus), leaving the only other option something like: " Shoes of Focus, Spear of Desolation, Divine Ruin, Ethereal Staff, Obsidian Shard, Soul Reaver, sell boots late for Staff of Myrddin and speed elixir."
