Thanks a lot, i will try doing it now.
I agree it may be greedy, but in the long run its worth it. Since every item has an important roll to play. the force staff gives u the needed mana, and helps you escape when low on mana, and being attacked/silenced. the veil is a must with sk, since it gives you some good damage with magical skills, and all of his skills are magical.the refresher orb really depends on how im doing in the game, so if im getting a lot of kills, its worth it, since i can use my ult more.
As of the causting finale, i believe it is better as first skill, since at level 1, it is not too easy to kill people, and if u have creeps exploding around you, it will be harder, but if your up against a ranged hero, i recommend starting with burrow.

Hi Danny, welcome to Dota Fire.

Here you will notice most of the guides have some real visual appeal, with some formatting and colours to make them more easy to read. You can see how to format here: http://www.dotafire.com/dota-2/blog/dr-d/guide-formatting-and-you

Therefore, don't be too discouraged if people don't comment on your content yet, you should just spend a bit more time formatting first. Any question you have feel free to pm me.

As for the content itself, I see many possible flaws on your suggestions:
  • Core items: don't you think all of those is a bit greedy for a hero that's usually played as a #4?
  • You should explain somewhere that your Sand King style is laning instead of jungling, since he's usually played as a jungler with a completely different build. I think you can definitelly lane him in some situations, but that's it, situationally, and almost never as core in the lane - which makes your build innefective and even harmfull for your core.
  • Your first skill point when laning should probably be Burrowstrike, since it is better to be sure that neither you nor your teammate can be killed than to have the passive.
  • You should mention Smoke of Deceit to gank, when you have your Blink Dagger up and running.
  • Finally, your Epicenter will lose its effectiveness as soon as enemies have enough money for some magical protection, and that should happen in the mid game, and not in the late game. So the part about "playing support and helping your teammates" should begin much earlier, in my opinion.

Suggestions: divide your guide into two builds - the main one with an explanation about why do you prefer to lane him, and another with the typical jungling build - and consider other luxury or situational items, such as Radiance.

Good luck!
