Get War Flag and upgrade to Spartan Flag if you're planning on playing more aggressively. Just keep in mind that Sentinel's Gift gives you more protections early game and you may find yourself having a harder time earlier on.
Magic Shell is just extremely good right now and you should build it like on most other supports.
Sell Reinforced Greaves for Spirit Robe.
This build is generally what I do against a regular comp. If I have more teammates reliant on attack speed I typically opt-in for Shogun's Kusari rather than Oni Hunter's Garb.
Tap each threat level to view Horus’s threats
Tap each synergy level to view Horus’s synergies
These items are good on basically every build.
Reinforced Greaves - Offers CCR, health, and a bit of power which makes it the best boots you could get for Horus support.
Caduceus Shield - Great for his Protector's Surge and all the stats are generally just very good.
Soverignty - The +35 HP5 makes Sovereignty special so I advise getting it even if the enemy team doesn't have a lot of physical damage.
Horrific Emblem and Heavenly Wings accomplish similar things in trying to engage/disengage in team fights. Horrific Emblem is personally my go-to.
Shield of Thorns is good if you're taking a lot of damage and you need the thorns to do some extra damage.
Belt of Frenzy isn't my favourite on Horus but it is still a very solid support relic.
Situational on the enemy team.
Because you probably built Soverignty you probably don't need to build more phys. protection unless the enemy team is running a lot of physical damage.
Situational on the enemy team.
Generally, Heartward Amulet and Oni Hunter's Garb are the most familiar and you're most likely to pick those up.
Situational on the enemy team.
Spirit Robe or Mantle of Discord are generally very good and I usually pick one of them up.

So do you think is a good idea to get cap CCR in full build? He have 15% ccr trough his passive and he do not get 55%. Buying 2 ccr items viable if only enemy has a lot of instant CC (before you able to stack passive), so it more situative and for avg full build I offer not to buy 2 ccr items.
And also i dont think he mostly defense, because of lack of protection he gets trough passive and even with his Protector's Surge, He about combat self heal and self heal out of combat (which already was not big, and was nerfed, made him not in meta, coupled with lack of protection trough abbility making his healing tank potential not good enough)
I actually did mean to put Genji instead of Oni, so I can fix that now, thanks! I agree that building a lot of CCR isn't really good unless the enemy comps do have that insta CC.
The reason I say he's mostly defense is that, compared to a lot of other supports, Horus does not offer a lot to be able get in and our of fights (particularly early game) without using all of his cooldowns. In the first couple levels you're going to have a hard time because you do lack some of the protections that guardians would have and your abilities really require you to get in there. His passive does help, but in early game I find it's not as effective.
This is obviously moreso my opinion and if you have someone you know will be able to push up with you then this is less of an issue, I know I can play much more aggro when I'm with friends. I've had some trouble trying to play aggressively when I solo queue.
