No problem, this is a good place to ask.

She's not a super hard carry, but she can still be a good source of damage with her ult. She focuses on lots of survivability with fast move speed to move around without dying while her ult kills stuff.

Boots can be phase boots or arcane boots. The other boots are also good options but phase/arcanes will be best in most games.

Get a wand and a bottle if you're solo mid. If you can farm it quickly, a quick bloodstone works (preferably around 20-25 minutes). Shivas and sheepstick are stereotypical items though a heart will also work well.

Those items for sniper are all good ones, though a manta is also very good. There is no 'you should completely focus on attack speed/damage', both are good, although having faster attack speed for more headshot procs is nice. You should also consider an MKB if you're against any evasion like windrunner/PA/butterflies etc.

Thanks for the reply. For death prophet I'm copying a build a friend showed me where i get arcane boots, eventually disassemble them to build the final item for bloodstone, then use the boots of speed to make phase boots (at which point I no longer need the mana regen of arcane boots). I'm more asking what lategame items i should after that though? If I'm a tanky hero should i be considering heart of torrasque? That seems like it would allow to better help pushes in conjunction with my ult. There was also an item that cost 4700 that let me cast a circle of frost around myself that seemed pretty good (forget the name)

Ah yes, that boots disassemble trick is a good one, I just thought I shouldn't bring it up just yet if you're new. But it seems you're ahead of most people there!

The item you're thinking about is Shiva's guard, and that is indeed an excellent choice. BKB, Heart, Sheepstick are 3 other items that you should get late game.

An example final 6 slot death prophet would have phase boots, bloodstone, sheepstick, shivas, heart, and a TP. Throw in a BKB somewhere there if necessary and sell the phase boots for boots of travels in the very late game.

I don't agree with BKB on DP. You should build tanky enough that nukes don't matter much (if they have a lot you should get pipe), and any disables on your are kind of wasted as long as your ulti is out.
