The whole point of blink is to ensure you miss less waves of your ult and and you get the jump on the enemy team. With Lothars it not only limits your ability to do this but is easily countered with wards/dust/gem.
I like your build, but Dagon is not really a good choice. For a game to be won you may want your carry to get the kills and deal the damage. This is done by owning in teamfights: Your Ultimate is one of the highest damaging skills in the game. That is why people focus on it.
Blink dagger, Veil of Discord and Staff is a decent build.
If you have any money left: Get Heart of Tarrasque.
--On Shadowblade--
You will have an invis in SandStorm. If people want to counter you in there, they will get wards or dust. Shadowblade does NOT give crix more HP or damage if he dies in a short time.
you are right but since i played with him more than two years i decided to make this guide (I like nim with damage not with epicentre)plz try the build out its not that bad if you dont play only with epicnetre/blink. I understand why do you say that but just try it.
I guarantee you people have questioned your items in game right? However, I understand this is a 'fun/FOR T3H LULZ' build, but Sand King is an initiator! Every $$$ counts! Sand King's purpose is to start a fight, tank a few hits, allow your real damage dealers (Carries) to woop ***! Your skill level of SK can be far greater!, but the item build is limiting your potential.
=\ The item build is a bit of a worry and I'll point out why.
Since you mention ganking, you should aim for a bottle that will help you out more! Blink dagger is correct but Ghost blade (Loather's edge) is not worth the $$$. Getting BKB will allow you to
1) Get a bit more tankier
2) MOST IMPORTANTLY: ALLOW YOU TO SUCCESSFULLY CAST EPICENTER! Do not forget it can easily be stopped :). (I understand you can simply do the Cast epicenter -> Blink) but in higher ranking games this is unlikely! I highly recommend you try the recommended items!
