DotA2 - Original Thread

Is there like, a good site for DotA 2 guides? Or do DotA 1 guides work for DotA 2? Kind of want to see what other people get on Kardel.

Most guide sites are fairly bad, but if i am online you can ask me.
In DotA the items you get are 100% depending on your own team and the enemies, but a standard item build for sniper that works pretty well:

Treads obviously, ring of aquila, Yasha into a Helm of the dominator(remember to use the active on creeps with good buffs(and use them to stack with if you feel like it)) now upgrade your yasha into a manta style and work on getting a daedalus(buriza) or a mkb if your enemies have some sort of dodge OR you're pushing into their base (up hill miss removed) by then you should have won if not, go for items such as butterfly, satanic, skadhi as your very last item if you have farm for that, but you probably wont.

 Spoiler

You use the helm to get a creep to stack ancients with, then you farm them and the jungle and the lanes near it till you have some good items and make sure you keep yourself in good distance from enemies

Situnational items: linkens sphere, BKB, shadow blade, maelstrom/mjolnirr, diffusal, Desolator.

Hope that helps. But it really does depend on your enemies and allies.

Guide sites do exist though:

http://www.playdota.com (this is for DotA1 mainly, but, i guess some of it works)
http://www.dotafire.com/ (i hate this site, it's pomegranate)

Also, Manta is core on sniper. 100% the best item there is for him.

This game still haunts me, this team was so bad... ._.
