New player here. How do I offlane with clockwerk against more than 1 opponent? All I manage to do is have mediocre farm with rocket flares and not die. But I can hardly get any advantage when I am so easily ganked and constantly denied creep.

When do I start roaming? After lv6 or after a specific weapon?

Example would be against CK+wisp or DK+veno

You shouldn't get butterfly on the bear. It gives him 30damage/30as which is as good as shadowblade.
Maybe as situational 6th item.

You could clarify which item you get on your hero and which on your bear. You seem to talk about your bear when you consider mjollnir, but you also mentioned ghost scepter which you definitely shouldn't get on your bear.

My preference would be to get a heart of tarrasque for the druid, and start using him to right click too.
If you're dedicated to using just your bear for safety reasons, get daedalus and/or mkb on the bear. With high attackspeed from ac/mjollnir, your bear should be able to melt towers incredibly fast.

that's the thing though, the Bear melted towers with only a Maelstorm. Seems kind of a waste to get more damage when he's already hitting like a truck. And yeah, I mentioned the Ghost Scepter for the Druid.

casual talisman of evasion sounds better than the Butterfly, that's what I had in mind when I thought of the butterfly. Neat.

Offlane clock loses the lane, pretty much. Generally, you get level 1 cogs, and cog the creeps twice on their way to lane in the first wave so you can have the lane as close as possible to your tower. Often, you will just have to sit as close to XP range as possible, and try to get a few last hits with rocket flare (usually keep this at level 1, and max your battery assault, as this makes your ganking power a lot stronger at level 6.) If you force the other team's lane to constantly force you out of XP range by harassing you / trying to gank you instead of accomplishing other goals (clock is pretty solid 1v1 due to the power of battery assault and a level 1 cogs), you are accomplishing quite a lot.

Knowing when to roam is pretty situational with this hero, but usually you want to at least wait until you are 6 before you initiate a gank (clock is one of the best heroes to gank mid with due to the absurd range of his ultimate). Use your judgement to know when and where to roam - sometimes if you can keep a 1v1 lane where you have kill potential with clock while the other's teams support is roaming, that is best. Not always though - sometimes you'll want to tp to another lane to initiate a gank. A handful of games with Clock will tell you what is best.

You are playing it right.
You arnt expected to get amazing farm, your expected to hit six very quickly and start moving around to have an impact on the game. The MOMENT you hit six on the solofflane you are a deadly force, start looking around the map for targets that will die to your full combo, and remember if your opponents are running 2-1-2 lanes then you will be higher level then 4 of their heroes, making many of them easy kills.

What are some good first items on Sniper? Some friends that I play with seem to rush Shadowblade on him by default, but that seems pretty bad.

How would a hard carry 6-slotted Juggernaut build look like?
