I'm also against any sniper that maxes Take Aim before Shrapnel. Shrapnel is so much more useful early game, unless you really want to neglect farming and just harass, then by all means max Take Aim first.
Mask? Why the hell do you need any life steal? O.O You shouldn't be taking much damage to begin with, if you are just get solid HP so you can get out of there. Your problem isn't lasting through the fight, it is being able to do a lot of damage while at a safe range without taking much damage. As is the case with any ranged carry.
In competitive games, sniper is played much like drow ranger. Usually you build treads and then either Manta or Dominator (the order in which you buy depends on the situation). After that comes BKB and Butterfly.
I prefer no life steal at all. Your not picking sniper to tank and stay in the fight. You pick sniper when your team has numerous tanks or instigators that will be focused while you destroy them with your range and mini stuns. That is what makes Shadow Blade so great because it gives you that damage which is great and also survivability and something no one said was 'positioning'. We all know that real snipers hide in the best possible area of the battle field and pick off their targets one by one in till there is a threat, which means they need to get out of the there. Why should Dota be any different? That is why I think Shadow Blade is the best early item possible because it does wonders both early and late game.
I dont see lothars fitting in late game, and the MoM is going to make you even squishier. If your going to get a lothars get it early. i dont suggest MoM at all, helm of dominator is fine
I don't like the glass cannon nature of your build. MoM on Sniper is a surefire way to get derped on throughout mid and late game. Getting Shadow Blade first provides you with damage and additional survivability, and is much more important than MoM in my opinion.
