DOTA 2 Earthshaker build and guide

BIO

Like a golem or gargoyle, Earthshaker was one with the earth but now walks freely upon it. Unlike those other entities, he created himself through an act of will, and serves no other master. In restless slumbers, encased in a deep seam of stone, he became aware of the life drifting freely above him. He grew curious. During a season of tremors, the peaks of Nishai shook themselves loose of avalanches, shifting the course of rivers and turning shallow valleys into bottomless chasms. When the land finally ceased quaking, Earthshaker stepped from the settling dust, tossing aside massive boulders as if throwing off a light blanket. He had shaped himself in the image of a mortal beast, and named himself Raigor Stonehoof. He bleeds now, and breathes, and therefore he can die. But his spirit is still that of the earth; he carries its power in the magical totem that never leaves him. And on the day he returns to dust, the earth will greet him as a prodigal son.

INTRODUCTION
Earthshaker is one the best support and ganker hero in DotA. If he is your partner in gank, it will be easier to kill enemies for you because Earthshaker stun is at least ± 2 seconds that will make you can attack enemies pleasantly. 

Earthshaker can also blocking a road using Fissure, be careful to use it, because it also can distress yourself. 

Earthshaker's most important role is to initiate a team fight. Here is the way: Make sure you have a blink dagger, and then jump inside the crowds of the enemies. it will broke the concentration of the enemies.and then use your ultimate: Echo slam immediately. Echo slam damage is depend on how many enemies in near the area so make sure there at least 3-5 heroes.  and then use Fissure after Echo slam and then finish with your last blow: with enchant totem. You can also add your combo with Shiva's Guard or Refresher Orb, and then followed by your friend's going into the area and genocide the enemy. It's fun to use Earthshaker, it's fun to stun the  enemy and fun to see fissure animation.


ROLE
earthshaker, dota 2

Melee

As a melee you must be careful from ranged heroes on early game.

Initiator

Great as a starter in a teamfight 

Disabler

He is full of stunning skill

Support

You must support the team by buying wards, save the carries etc.

Lane Support

Save your carries from any danger that happening on early-mid game

Early Game
early game, earthshaker, dota 2
In the early game, if you're in a lane with a carry, you must  protect him and make sure he get some farm. Be careful with the opponent, if they use their skills, then you must immediately useFissure, this way your enemy will afraid and retreat immediately. 
Also don't be a reckless, you are not a solo killer, ask your friend to help you kill the enemy. 
The Fissure is your harassing skill here, so if you need to do some damages to your foe's use Fissure.Fissure is the most important skill here, your main nukes.

Mid Game
mid game, earthshaker, dota 2
Once the game is mid game, you can change lane and ganking the enemy. Use your mainstay skill Fissure, and together with your friends killing some enemy.  Mid game will be the determinant if your team will win or lose. If you can conquer mid game with lots of kills, it is likely to win the game. If there are lots of enemy in an area, that's your time to use your Echo Slam. It will demolish the enemy's team and makes your team proud of you.

Late Game
late game, earthshaker, dota 2
Earthshaker role in the late game is to initiate a teamfight and that maybe lead a counterattack of victory. With your combo using dagger and echo slam, you can easily break a wave of enemy heroes and creeps, and thenwin a teamfight that leads to victory.

Iif you have earthshaker in the team I recommend to wait the enemy to attack your tower rather than doing teamfights in the jungle, because it will do more Echo damage  because lots of creeps in the lane.
