tradjik, as per IllegalDustbin, having the ability to refill my mana bar every 45s is more useful if you have a larger mana pool.
Grotto, often times I'll throw in a Tracking device into my build, just so snipes are more powerful. But as this is currently a snipe-light build, I usually omit it. Also, if you didn't see it, my build does use Mark. It's just called "Mark" not "MotB". And yes, I do tend to use this build more for hit-and-run type tactics. Lay some mines, engage, pull enemy onto mines,mark, more mines, and hopefully by then they're scared/ready to die.
