Shrapnel is probably sniper's best skill.
hahahahahahahahahahaha
If u carries good then u wouldnt need shrapnel to take out towers. sniper outrange towers for god's sake >.<
Shrapnel + out range would be even better...
The real waste of skill points at early game is headshot, just do the math: each point give u +5% and + 10dmg... Get the first point in headshot, focus shrapnel all 4 points, and take aim until u outrange towers (lvl3) than u go back to headshot, that would work a lot better.
This is an irrelevant conclusion. I can't count the number of times that a tower has escaped from battle with less than 20 hp that I would have killed had I not taken Shrapnel in lieu of stats.
Maybe the reason you survive with less than 20 hitpoints is that you have ****ty positioning. Shrapnel actually does more damage to buildings that Pugna's Nether Blast.

Fantastic guide; tried this for the first time last night and saw my K/D ratio go up dramatically. Works really well for me for farming too.
The only suggestion I might make is to upgrade the Boots of Speed to Arcane Boots at some point to help out with mana issues encountered from using Assassinate more frequently, but that's likely a preference/situational thing.
Thanks. Interesting choice with the boots. Can you imagine having to use Shrapnel too? Assassination > Shrapnel all day!

Why? You should qualify your statements. I for one, think that it is a waste unless your team has a huge disadvantage in pushing towers. Rush stats after Headshot and Take Aim to keep you alive.
