The Dwarven Sniper Guide - Dota

[Jolinar]

Let's see, one of the easiest heroes, IMO. Skills and their effects should be known... :7

Skills:
1. Take Aim
2. Headshot
3. Take Aim
4. Headshot
5. Take Aim
6. Assassinate
7. Take Aim
8. Headshot
9. Headshot
10. Shrapnel
11. Assassinate
12. Shrapnel
13. Shrapnel
14. Shrapnel
15. Stats
16. Assassinate
17. Stats
25. Stats


Items:

Early:
2x Bracer for HP in early, optionally Healing Salve or Tango for the start
Power Treads Agility
Mid:
Maelstrom/Mjollnir
Bloodstone (for HP ... he is lacking these)
Butterfly
Late:
Butterfly (yeah, a second one)
Buriza

Optionally: Satanic instead of Mjollnir, I get one of these depending on the heroes I am fighting and those that can support me. Judge yourself.


Gameplay:
Early: Creep, creep, don't die, creep, harass with Headshot, just use normal attack, level 6 up use Assassinate only if it is necessary or if you can get a cheap kill. Try to keep creeping if the others want a gang.

Mid: Gang, keep creeping though, try to use your ulti while hiding in woods so you don't get focused. If you get Mjollnir, you should do adequate damage by now.

Late: With the 2 Butterflies and the Buriza, you can one on one pretty much any hero, just don't get focused in ganks.


Notes: I tried this build in a 2 on 2, but I left out the Bloodstone, it appeared useful to me when thinking it through again.

This is a guideline, not a command to play this way. Use your imagination to add useful things.

I love this build with snip: Deso, 2 Bflys, buriza, treads, bs. So owning You cannot be touched And i'm building up Headshot first

[Jolinar]

Yeah, right, Deso and BS are good as well. I just skill Take Aim first because it's easier to push towers in early-mid if you can attack them while they can't attack you at all

[CQfanatic]

the guide sucks....need more details...

[Jolinar]

I would so much like to appreciate your criticism, but could you be more specific? What details do you need? I don't see anything more to add here, be creative and develop your personal, individual gaming style.

I tried deso on sniper and it's COOL!

[TradeMark99]

I usually get
Threads, Bfly, Satanic, MKB, Buriza and Assault Curiass
for DS, =)
But theres no harm trying a mjollnir build =)
Altho I really do not think there is a need for bloodstone in the build.

[Jolinar]

Well yeah, the Bloodstone, I think he needs some hp into late game cause I got raped too many times XD

[Bat]

That's a nice build, however i don't think the double bfly is needed, nor the bloodstone.
Usually i swap those with heart and lothars, but thats my opinion.
Although sniper doesen't need much items to own

Sniper is basically an op creep....haha
