I don't like the wraith bands, It's much better to get straight Yasha instead of wraith bands, get something you can turn into something later into the game instead of items you will just sell anyway. Wraith bands can be situational for sure, they can be good if you're farm is horrible and all but I don't think they are worth the price.
I disagree strongly. Wraith Bands are a must on Drow Ranger. They give her early survivability in the lane as she is supremely squishy early game and thus susceptable to premature deaths. At the low price of 485g I would say they are 100% worth the price.
With your build you actually dont need them though because you do get stats quite frequently in stead of drow's abilities. I would ulter that around. One of the things that makes Traxex so effective is her ability to silence... I rarely make it to level 23... and to max out the 6 second silence at that late stage of the game seems like not using her to the fullest capability. Also, level 2 Frost arrows is very effective, may want to toss that in tehre as the 24% slow would increase your kill count.
You seem to have success with your build but I feel it is not playing to Drow Rangers strong suits.
EDIT: Remove the ******** hyperstone, AGI items are mcuh better and at lv16 your attackspeed is insane enough, get butterfly intead
Ty Hades, added BkB and Satanic in Situationals, makes sense :)
Added Yasha to the core as suggested by wilddeonpwn. I love the movespeed from it, but I seriously struggle to fit it in. The Ganking Carry can dominate a dual lane with Frost arrows and a Yasha, but I find the Shadow blade much more useful, you an approach unseen for a gank, and there's the potential for escape. The Hard Carry build focuses on standing your ground and taking damage, dishing out a lot more.
WulfStan, one point in Silence at lvl 12 has served me well. If you farm well enough Mid, you'll hit lvl 11 by the 15 min mark and then you get silence before you go in for Ganks.
I have a strict No Gank policy with the Hard Carry build till i hit lvl 11, im not saying its a good idea, just that its worked reeally well for me. But thank you for your feedback :)
The Formatting suckz for this Guide, maybe ill get to it one day :)
Its not about you ganking,its about you getting ganked.3 extra seconds in

With that current core, why not add Yasha? If your not going Shadow Blade then you need the Yasha for the plain movement speed it gives you. The usual pubstomper build is Yasha>Crystalys/Dominator>Dominator/Crystalys.
Also, I would suggest adding at least 1 point into Frost Arrows at lvl 2 or 1. It helps a tonne in harassing, as you don't draw creep aggro with orbs, but it will aid you in early gangs.
I think adding more information would be a lot more helpful, and will make your guide more understandable. But anyways, reply to this, and I shall come back to +1 :)
+1.
