is this skill build good for sniper??

Agree with Ghost, although you might consider getting 1 lvl earlier so that if you are near the enemy's tower, you can damage the tower some while harassing the hero, and he doesn't have anything better to do with his mana (except getting mana burned by NA)

but yeah, I max Take Aim and Headshot first.

@Above

To me, what makes Sniper is his low HP...

his low hp, imba late game damage and attack speed combined with ministuns to give near permabash.

I prefer to get scatter and take aim for farming and range. But everyone has their own style and its whatever works for you.

so I just tried a permabash version of Kardel, and it's much better to just mass bflies rather than mass MKB, the extra aspd causes the ministuns to trigger more than a higher % chance, also you deal more damage faster (but MKB are cheaper but not by much)

Scattershot lvl 1 for me. Then focus on take aim and headshot. Take Aim is the best way to fight safely out of reach, especially against towers.

i used to skip scatter shot as well, because i wanted to hero kill right away. it's good if that's your motive and goal, but i find picking scatter helps to farm and counter opponents pushes. i noticed scatter just decimates creepwaves.

It's your pick really, and situational. If your team is owning do whatever you want.

i mass butterflys.
mkb is a .01 second stun
headshot is a .2
so its 20x longer.

Ditto what Shazzam said on page one... Take Aim first, Headshot second, Assassinate whenever possible, stats until lvl22 THEN get Scattershot.
Stats are further augmented by ridiculous amounts of Wraith Bands.

Oh yes. Opinion thread - pre-emptive warning: no flaming.

I also get take aim and head shot first. He doesn't have the mana to support scatter shot and assasinate. As far as gear goes I like to get a vanguard If I think I need it then MKB's. The vanguard helps a lot when harassing hero's and there creeps jump on you. + not being sooo damn squishy help's a lot.

man i play sniper differently then you guys lol:

1. Take Aim
2. Scatter Shot
3. Scatter Shot
4. Head Shot
5. Scatter Shot
6. Assassinate
7. Scatter Shot
8. Take Aim
9-10. Head Shot
11. Assassinate
12. Head Shot
13-14. Take Aim
15. Stats
16. Assassinate
17-25. Stats

usually when i play sniper, i can do fairly well with 605 range. also, i use Scatter Shot to harass/kill. For example, if i am up against a squishy hero, i can use Scatter Shot, attack, and Assassinate for an easy kill. Scatter Shot is imo a great nuke(?) early game to help you kill people. Just try not to push with it and you'll be fine

BTW, any opinions on my skill build?

nice

i mainly use it for a combo with assassinate to kill; creep killing is just one of the side-effects it gives ^^

Scatter Shot + a few attacks + Assassinate = dead
