Jacosmoot's Guide to Drow Ranger (Short)

Introduction

Okay, the Drow would have to be my best hero I've ever used. She's near invaluable in team fights due to her silence, with Frost Arrows at 3 or 4, and a Blink Dagger she can be a dangerous chaser. Especially when she gets her Crystalys/Daedalus items that allows her to get criticals. And I think of the Drow, as a better Sniper. (Hehe)

Skills (How to use them)

Q - Frost Arrows
This is the skill that will let you chase early on. Leveled up enough, it will cut the enemies MS in half. Making it difficult to get away unless they have support or a Blink Dagger. I prefer leveling this skill up first, as you can use it to Last Hit/Harass or help harass.
W - Silence
This is why I like using the Drow so much. She has her own built in Silence ability. This is handy when dealing with heroes such as Sven, Vengeful, or Bane type heroes with crazy disables. When silenced, none of the victim's abilities work. Not even their passive ones. So you can use this to start team fights, end them, or to allow an ally to get away safely without being stunned.
E - Precision Aura
This is the skill that makes other Ranged Heroes wanna hang around you more often. As this skill boosts the damage of other Allies Heroes around you. (Provided they are Ranged) Other then that, this skill is self-explanatory.
R - Marksmanship
This skill makes her less Agility Item dependent because it boosts your agility by 15 per level, so this is always leveled up whenever you first can. Too bad this wasn't an aura like E is.

Her Items

The Starting Items are just your basic ones, then the early ones are tricky to decide what you get first. If you need that speed more than anything, buy the Boots of Speed first, if you are taking too much damage from Creeps, get the Poor Man's Shield, if you want faster attacks, buy the Gloves of Haste. And so on... The Core Items are what make this Drow build so deadly, Power Treads, Crystalys, Daedalus is the order you buy these in. You can buy Arcane Boots, or Boots of Travel instead of the Treads, but I prefer the Treads on her. After you get the DD (Daedalus), you decide what to get. The DD makes her what she is in this build.
