Since they buffed the attack speed on Augmentation it is now possible for sparrow to run Eviscerator and reach 419 attack speed. (Max is 420)

Eviscerator
Stormbreaker
Skysplitter
Augmentation
Dust Devil
Tainted Rounds

If enemy team has too much frontline you could run Ashbringer instead of either tainted or Skysplitter. Situationally, make that call.
Note: You do lose attack speed cap if you switch Tainted for Ashbringer, but it doesn't really hurt you if you're making that choice for the right reason.

This build gets you to 419 attack speed with all your stims on. That is 1 attack speed point below cap.

You have to be very warry of your positioning but otherwise, this is braindead.

I've tested it on both Drongo and Murdock, but, it just isn't the same. You get way more value out of them running Mana build, traditional build, or a variation of either.

I also recommend finding a variation on this build in a more organized team comp scenario, maybe abusing the Marshall item, or Muriel buffs, or both. You could possibly pump out more DPS grabbing Imperator instead of Tainted Rounds.

Looks good. I've been building Sky Splitter -> Augmentation -> Dust Devil -> Ashbringer -> Imperator most games and it is absolutely disgusting, so I'm sure this is great too. I think Imperator is more damage with full build (don't actually know), but Tainted Rounds is fantastic when you need the anti-heal.

I've really just been trying to figure out the proper build order for something like this, and yours looks great.

Starting sky splitter feels pretty bad because you have to start the attack speed bow instead of the physical damage shortsword on lvl 1. The sword helps with last hitting and feels better to me, but once I get the sabre and life steal piece of Sky Splitter, it feels great. On the fence here.

It's just awkward when I don't want to build either Stormbreaker or Lightning Hawk. It makes me wonder if saving for a greatsword early on and going 3rd item Dust Devil or Imperator would be better than building something else right away. I know we would do that in league when I played it years ago, but these items are also fairly different.

It's also better to build dust devil later on when you have more crit %, as you need to be hitting crits for it to stack. If I build it 3rd, I typically evolve my crest and have 60%, which isn't great, so building that 4th is probably best, as 80% crit will stack it fairly consistently.

Last thing... I personally enjoy pacifier over the other marksman crests at the moment. The dash is too good for avoiding crowd control, and with how common and potent CC is in the game right now, I'd say it's worth losing the damage from eviscerator. Just my thoughts. If you're a god and can position perfectly all the time, eviscerator is nuts and you should build it.

so the dps is actually much higher without imperator, feel free to check swapping items with it.

I like the build.. thx

but you have to include the dmg passives by tainted and storm breaker for example

actually the 'but' shouldn't be there. the passive by stormbreaker for example is the reason why you have an higher dps with it than with imperator. 🙂

Honestly, even if you got rid of that pasive... the dps is just notably higher

So

#

Im trying this build and keep having this issue when I have a decent support and dont let myself get ganked easy. I keep farming like a madlad and taking good fights in lane and then they forfeit before I even get to stack bodies. Any ideas?

TLDR: Good build, 10/10 would recommend
