This guide is quite out-dated. Since Sniper got buffed, I have changed many of the views that I had when I created this guide.
Yeah, didn't see the changelog. :P
I like Sniper and I tried your build. However, Sniper, to me, is a more of an attack speed/mini-stunner person that can focus on one person to be killed. I tried another build before this and...it wasn't the same when using Shrapnel all the time and not having any more damage on mini-stunning.
The only good item if you are spamming Shrapmel is Ring of Aquila (if I spelled that right).
It's a really great build if you focus on pushing and destroying towers, but it's really not my style.
I rather have Shadow Blade on Drow Ranger for sneak attacks when one person is trying to push. :P

Shadow Blade just isn't my kind of play style. I'd rather keep myself alive by team fighting properly and using the money to do more damage.

The only point I noticed is the hard last hitting part at the begining of the game.
Also add Ethereal blade to situational. I've had alot of games where there was either a Naix, Spirit breaker , Stealth assassin , or juggernaut that would focus me. void talisman can be useful for your survivability. Eth blade + assassinate = 1100+ damage finisher.
I am a fan of shrapnel maxed early, but you need at least 1 point of head-shot earlier than level 10.... go for it at level 2.
it was amazing
