Starcraft brings back sweet, sweet memories. I used to love playing Evolves.

Garena is a great place to play with decent players but the best players are the players that participate in leagues. Especially the leagues with different calibers.

yea I guess... Just play LC Hosts on bnet and just play with friends... If you can figure out how to port forward your comp, then you able to host and host ur own games.

I <3 dota

Anyone has idea when 6.60 is going to come out, as its taking really long, so either they added a lot of heroes, items and etc or they did a major rework to the game rules.

[RevengE]

They used that song in a Stalker video I watched too.

[Chris]

does anyone know when 6.60 comes out¿
The map is in huge beta since there will be two new heroes. I'm pretty sure sometime this year or over the summer.

[LittleLizard]

Ok, i want council about a build. Currently im kinda rookie but i dont care that much (only play with friends) but is it right this build?

HERO: DWARVEN SNIPER

ITEMS: Phase boots/Power Threads, Linken, Manta, Butterfly

[Chris]

The build is never the same in all games except a few items. Are you a fast farmer or a slow farmer? Dwarven Sniper is a great hero that has huge range/damage if you farm well enough. Assassinate also becomes a pain in the ass for the other team if you use it enough.

Here are the items I would go by default, meaning every game. I'll describe what the items do and why it is good for Sniper.

1. Power Treads: This is a required item because it gives Sniper bonus movement speed, attack speed, and an extra 10 attribute bonus of your choice; preferably agility.
2. The Butterfly: This item gives 30% evasion, bonus attack speed, and agility bonus. The item is great because it improves your hero drastically.
3. Stygian Desolator: I believe this item is great for Sniper because it has an armor reduction buff when you concentrate your attack on a certain unit. It's an orb effect which means you can only carry one. I've also seen people get Eye of Skadi, Mollinjir, and Maelstrom.
4. Assault Curiass: This item gives an attack speed aura for your other teammates to have a faster attack speed and also increases your attack speed which is important because Sniper is a DPS hero.
5. Buriza: This item is upgraded from the Crisalys which gives you a percent chance to hit the enemy with a critical damage. Important because you increase the percentage since you have a fast attack and also helps kill heroes faster.
6. Monkey King Bar: This gives you 80 attack damage bonus and 15% attack speed bonus.

Alternatives - If you die too much you should consider buying a Heart of Tarrasque. If the other team has a crap load of disablers consider buying a Black King Bar. In the beginning of your game buy 2 Wraith Bands. If the other team has extremely high attack rates or you feel your character is a bit weak, you need more mana. You can mix your beginning items up with Null Talismans and Bracers.

Your build - Linken is great for channeling spells but it isn't always the best item. Manta is an orb effect but I feel Desolator is better. Phase Boots are good but you benefit more from Power Treads.

I'll try that but wouldnt the critical from buriza override the stun effect of headshot?

Also as 6.60 came out, is the replacement for scatter shot good or worse?

EDIT: Also, in 6.60, the talisman of evasion (1800 gold, basic, 25% evasion) came out but my question is, does it stack because if u have four = physical inmunity. :wtf:

[Chris]

Buriza is not a bash passive so no it should not override any of your 4 default skills. I haven't played all the characters in 6.60 yet(I haven't even tried Batrider), but all I can say from older versions is you get Scatter Shot last. I even start stacking my attributes before I get Scatter Shot. I don't think evasion stacks.

[LittleLizard]

and what about cryxalis, i build it with 2 bracers, power threads and then what?

[Chris]

You should definitely get a Kelen's Dagger. Your ultimate channels for 2.5 seconds(I don't remember the exact time) but once it finishes channeling you need to blink right into the fight and your ultimate will take effect. You need to be able to time this very well or the ultimate will cancel.

Battle Fury is a great addition to Cryxalis because when you creep it splashes your damage then your poison move kills them all off.

Heart of Tarrasque is good for health and hit point regeneration. Recommended late game.

There are many items you can try. Just thought this up but you could get a Guinsoo Staff of Vise and Force Staff and own them. I know it's kind of stupid and your intelligence heroes can basically use these items and it would benefit them more then it would benefit you. You ultimate, force staff them toward you, then guinsoo so they get damaged the entire time.

[LittleLizard]

Ok, i just put up a build with cryxalis that seems fine (at least against my friends :p)

2 bracers
power threads
mana ring
vanguard
heart
aghanim

as for the dagger i see it unnecesary as with burrowstrike i get close, stun and while are stunned channel epicenter.

[Chris]

Arcane ring is not a good item for Cryxalis because you hardly ever use your skills except in ganks or just a burrowstrike here and there for creeps. Your passive poison explosion would take the creeps out after.

Vangaurd is good but your not a tank either, you can be a carry and should get a Battlefury which allows you to regenerate much faster with an extra hitpoint and allows you to cleave your attack. 60 bonus damage too!

It all depends to you if you aghanims I've never gotten Aghanims with SK so I wouldn't know.
