How is Thanatos typically built

smite

So, I've just unlocked Thanatos and ended up playing him twice in Assault. However, I was building him as I would a typical basic attacking god with extremely poor results. I'm fairly sure that's the wrong way to go about it.

I realize builds can adjust depending on match-up. So, assuming a fairly generic match-up where you can build Thanatos in an optimal way to maximize his strengths, what is a typical Thanatos build?

Answers don't necessarily need to include specific items, unless items are typically included as a core-nearly-required selection. At the very least, guidance on which stats/effects to focus on and in what quantities is sufficient.

Thanatos is a typical jungle god. Build physical damage and penetration. My build is Bumba's Mask, Warrior Tabi, Jotunn's Wrath, Titan's Bane, Brawlers Beat Stick. Then late game, sell Bumba's Mask and Buy Deathbringer. If you want, build Bloodforge instead of Brawlers Beatstick for the lifesteal while sustaining high damage, however I find his 1 ability has enough lifesteal.
