Sniper needs all the help he can get to become a DPS machine. You also don't really have the mana to spam it out, so you need to go a mana item like soul ring if you want to spam it to push, and then you are delaying your DPS even more. Its not like its very good for farming - small DoT means that if the creeps die then they walk out of it, and its nigh useless in the jungle. Then again, if you play sniper more than (times you've randomed)/90, you probably are better qualifies to comment on how sniper should build.

It's a skill that requires some setup to be good, but honestly, the damage is quite respectable. Max duration does 432 damage at rank 4. Obviously this never actually happens, but to match the damage from similar nukes, you need ~5 ticks, which is doable with the help of setup disables. If you're mid, I would most certainly max Take Aim first (for a hero that has no escapes, being able to lasthit from further back in the lane has immeasurable value), but definitely max Shrapnel second (your team will want to be taking towers around the time you have rank 3 or 4 of Shrapnel). It's very unlikely that Headshot will outperform Shrapnel at level 8-10, particularly when it comes to tower pushes. | ||

His base stats aren't great, but his 4 int gain is fucking massive and it can be seriously hard to keep up on last hits, and nether blast + his high movement speed is obviously good for rune control. Very squishy, but good pugna players are more than capable of dealing with that. definitely agree. i think the best thing to do is pick up an early point booster for the aghs, then complete your mek. it helps with the hp problem some (same with str treads). i also remember in wc3 dota getting deso pugna, which can attack through decrep/ghost scepter. was hilarious. | ||

People need to realize, that in Dota (unlike LoL) pushing a tower down =/= pushing a lane necessarily, you can take out a tower without ever pushing your lane with shrapnel. when creeps naturally hit their high ground pop off the spell and back up. treads all you need. since tread switching = imba. So you switch to int, fire shrapnel, then switch to str? | ||

 Whenever i play sniper i play with friends usually and we utilize the shrapnell tower damage and sniper's range to slow-push towers, it works wonders. | ||
