The Archer build is recommended for players who are not good at executing Shackleshot and/or Powershot. Remember that Powershot and Windrunner are the first to be maxed out; useful for both offensive and defensive plays. Shackleshot is learned at 4/6; used in situation where mini-stuns would prove to be useful- maxed out 12-15. Focus Fire is acquired at 10, 11, and 16 because there are better skills to attain early on and it isn't that good of a skill early in the game.

Item Build

Early Game:
Boots of Speed - Ring of Basilius

Mid Game:
Eul's Scepter of Divinity - Boots of Travel - Manta Style
Necromonicon 3 - Bottle - Black King Bar

Other Items:
Orchid Malevolence - Phase Boots - Shiva's Guard
Mekansm - Boots of Travel - Observer Wards - Sentry Wards

Luxury Items:
Black King Bar - Manta Style
Guinsoo's Scythe of Vyse - Necronomicon
Stygian's Desolator - Kelen's Dagger

Remember that the Windrunner is not so much dependent on items to be powerful. She actually just needs movement speed and mana regeneration. Thus, make Eul's Scepter of Divinity as soon as possible.

Use Necronicon and Wards against stealth opponents, the Black King Bar and Manta style for mana dependent enemies. The Orchids Malevolence and Shiva's Guard is for enemy DPS heroes.
