Can you opt out of solo? I play solo, but half the advantage of it was that you only got people who intentionally wanted to be there, so everyone tended to be more communicative and more interested in working with each other because everyone knew there weren't any stacks doing their own thing. I've noticed faster queue times but a lot less communication since the patches. That makes me sad. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + Burrowstrike first. Always aim manually a bit behind the guy you want to hit. At least 1 level sandstorm, but maxing it second is recommended. Use sandstorm when you're in trouble(especially after you just burrowstriked into trouble). Relax and open this vid. 2 ways to cast epicenter: Channel and use blink dagger to get in. Or burrowstrike everyone who could stop you and immediately begin channeling. Passive makes things you have attacked 8 seconds before their death explode in a small aoe when they die. Get blink dagger, to double the range from which you can burrowstrike people and to epicenter/dagger. | ||

Sandstorm/Caustic is dependent on the situation, generally you would max sandstorm first then decide either you add caustic for farming or skipping it for stats. Items are easy. Arcane/Blink/Veil or Aghs....or Ghost Sceptor if you need to live thru right clicks. Basically support items. Wards all those goes without saying,SK is a position 4 support. He doesn't need items besides a decently timed blink, once he gets the blink he can go to position 5. | ||

Also, what skill build does Pirate (the guy with 2k sandking pub games) usually do? I'm pretty sure he always prefers eblade over veil/Aga, but I have no idea about the skill build. | ||

Also, Aghanims is the easiest item to use. Using Veil is annoying. | ||

Sand king ulti lvl2 (8*110) + 280 (Stun) = 1160 (10*110) + 280 (Stun) = 1380 (Ulti with aghanims) On a regular hero with no magic resitstance items: Veil of Discord: 1160 * (1-0.25) * (1+0.25) = 1088 Aghanims : 1380 * (1-0.25) = 1035 On a hero with Hood Veil of Discord: 1160 * (1-0.25) * (1-0.3) * (1+0.25) = 761.25 Aghanims : 1380 * (1-0.25) * (1-0.3) = 725 On a Hero with natural resistance (Ex Antimage) lvl4 spell shield 50% Magic resistance Veild of Discord : 1160 * (1-0.25) * (1-0.5) * (1+0.25) = 544 Aghanims : 1380 * (1-0.25) * (1-0.5) = 518 Aside from just pure damage terms, you have to consider other factors though. Agha gives you a lot more tankiness than a veil of discord and gives you a 20 second reduction on the cooldown as well. If you have other allies with strong nukes, veil really is a much stronger pickup. | ||
