Set is brand new, and as a disclaimer I want to say that I don't c;laim to have 'figured him out'. I've been doing pretty well with him, and wanted to share my build in the hope that it helps others play him.
Set seems right now pretty underpowered to a lot of people. I disagree. I think he fills a solid role in having a very good chase capability, with a strong ult that can run through teamfights much like a Bakasura if he doesn't get collapsed on. I'm still trying to work out how to play him to his strengths.

Boots can be sold after Potion Of Speed is purchased for an item such as Hydra's Lament or Heartseeker.
Hastened is a debated pickup - some say with his 1 slowing and on such a low cooldown, he doesn't need it. For now, i'd pick it up - it's a good tool while learning the god, and as of writing, everyone is learning this god.
Again, it is debated whether to max Spawn of Set or Sandstorm after Skewer. I personally like the additional clone duration, so I max the 2, but maxing the 3 is also a viable choice due to the large damage increase.
Much the same as any assassin, Set can easily run over most immobile gods.
Much the same as any assassin, Set struggles when he is locked down by CC.
