I would like to suggest a HoTD, MKB rush on PA. works like a charm and a naked demon edge gives you 46 damage, which is probably better than buying a Yasha.

A helm is great too :) in the early stages but a Vladmirs is more nicer because it gives you a regen and 15% bonus damage

Since the build says for vlads, i'm gonna assume that ur gonna roam around and snowball. Try desolator since you can lifesteal with the vlads. Obviously if it's replaced by satanic or is going to be replaced late game, it's not a good idea. Have two sections for a snowball carry and farming carry. Nice guide +1

Thnx but since I focused on Attack speed and damage, I used vlads for the extra +15% damage but desolator might be a Good Idea

Basically, PA is my most successful and most played hero and you've got it all wrong. (sorry)

My build is Medallion of Courage, Battle Fury, Phase Boots, and Desolator, with Black King Bar in there as needed. Most people seem to think that you need lifesteal, but really with the armor from Medallion plus the evasion from Blur, you don't. The regen from Battle Fury should be enough.

Next, you don't really detail what makes Phantom Assassin different from other carries. The difference is the potential to prime crits. Coup de Grace isn't true random. You can prime crits. If you don't crit 7 times in a row, you have a 75% chance to crit in four attacks, which happens to be the amount of attacks you have with Phantom Strike. Because of Phantom Strike, you don't actually have to buy any attack speed. If you can't kill them in four hits with a crit, then chances are you shouldn't be going for them anyway. To make sure that crit kills, you buy big +Dmg and Armor Reduction items instead of attack speed. Note that the two items that make the most sense with these criteria are Desolator and Meadallion of Courage. The idea is to prime your crits, buy items to make the crits gigantic, and then delete people. In the late game, when you already have so much +Dmg that it isn't worth building anymore because your attack speed isn't scaling, Assault Cuirass is a great choice because it actually increases your attack speed and decreases their armor even more. when somebody has -22 armor, crits hurt.

Lastly, Blur is nearly worthless for the evasion component. Tho only way that you are going to die is a spell, with or without it. The maphacks are the overpowered part. You can scout Roshan without having to peek in, you can farm two waves of creeps in a unoccupied lane completely unnoticed, you can completely avoid ganks by watching your buffs, and you can catch invisible people without ever seeing them.

Rant over. If you want to learn the hero, you can check out the guide below, or stay tuned for my own, but I probably have a couple more months of work to do on it.

As a frequent Pa playr Deso is the far better option here, and is usually comboed with the Vlads. The damage output is juts so much more compared to SnY, for around 800 less gold.
