General Discussion4-1-4 stats on sniper?

depends on lane

i played with some duo stack lately in solo que they used 4 4 1 1 build at level 10 sniper for safelane farming

i can imagine situations that fit just any skillbuild on sniper (im not talking about something rly weird like taking + instead of skills)

Then his damage will be terrible.

imo there isnt any point in getting hp on sniper esp over your dmg skill, perhaps the situations where you might want stats is to survive high residual aoe dmg like double wrath plus high range nukes etc

I would sooner leave take aim at 2 since by then you already outrange towers. + 90 damage on procs is too nice to not get I think. Either way you would have to build items differently if you wanted to change these up. Though I don't know how you build more damage on sniper if you're leaving headshot at 1

sniper's headshot is what makes sniper sniper. you capitalize on his output by maxing attack speed, coupled with lifesteal, and using movement speed to counter his lack of health. positioning is everything with this hero, but if you have AS, MS, and LS, you're set.

4/1/4 is a great start but no it isn't viable.

I always ask Snipers in my team to max Take Aim first.

I Dnt Normally get stats, but i do like maxing take aim first ESPECIALLY if im mid, if im safelane i could see getting more points in headshot earlier

I always do it when I play sniper and get a lot of kills all the time. I have not noticed his damage being lower than I needed it to be. Increased range does more for me and good thing is that slow from headshot is good from lvl1, only damage scales. But I also get aquilla, mask and mjolnir all the time. . Haven't played him much in ranked, though.

True question is, phase or treads.

hey check VG-Secret 3rd game.super built 4-1-4 that game and play quite well agaist rtz's SF
