not soul ring.
He really doesn't use soul ring well, nuking yourself is a bad idea when you're already paper thin

Its not bad, and it provides zeus emergency mana for those situations where he needs that one extra thunder bolt or ult to kill someone. Combined with bottle, Zeus doesn't have much trouble with the hp loss he gets. Zeus ideally should never be in a situation where he's getting smacked around, and if he is, he'll die with or without soul ring.

Soul Ring costs 800 gold, and gives you 150 mana at the cost of 150 HP. Staff of Wizardry costs 1000 gold, gives you 130 mana straight up, and builds into several key items for Zeus (Force, Eul's, Necronomicon in this version). Just getting Soul Ring for max mana is not compelling. It's a regen item at it's core, but intelligent use of Arcanes+Bottle should not require a further 800 gold investment just for regen. You need combat items at that point.

If you watch, Merlini's recent gameplay video, he shows his Zeus play.
Granted Zeus is his signature hero, but Merlini actually goes Soul Ring and shows it can be used to great effect.

The regen from Soul Ring combined with Bottle usage kept his Zeus pretty much at high hp all the time despite constant Soul Ring uses. This works funnily enough because of Zeus's small health pool-- it gets filled pretty fast with a little regen.

Merlini says positioning is one of the most important things for Zeus, yet he plays with brown boots for nearly the entire match.
This is why I said in my earlier post that I like to go Tranquils before BoTs. You get to walk fast for cheap, have some more armor, and you won't be relying on the regen but it's a nice bonus for whenever it's on.
Merlini dies a lot and I think having the boots would have saved him a few times.

Here's the link, video posted on Nov 8, 2013
