Try it you might like it.

I plan on posting a few games with the stat increase version.

Full fire TB is fully viable. It's definitely competitive with the right mix.

You clearly don't play with good players.

Play your TB vs me as TB and stacked as...anything..... and get whatever teammate ya like = we win.

Cow could you add a section to your guide about how and why you can control a lane early game?Nothing annoys me more than noobs playing TBs sitting behind towers in a 1 vs 1 situation in a lane (and not form dancing).

As long as you can get yourself into a winning position early in the game fire TB is ok. somehow alot of noobs like playing fire tb and do it badly, thinking that they will still be good above level 12 or possibly lower.

Fire TB was my first DG I really enjoyed when I discovered the game. Altought I find Fire TB less effective than Ice TB or Hybrid TB, I suppose he can be viable also. Of course, during mid or end game, it's very difficult for any TB to be very efficient against any good players playing better DG like... Erebus or UB for example.

Imho, Fire Aura is far much better than Stats.

I have (succesfully) tried the following fire TB build :

1 save 2 stats I + aura I 3 save 4 stats II 5 fire nova I + aura II 6 fireball I 7 fireball II 8 aura III 9 fireball III 10 fireball IV

I play it with Furious blade as favor and gauntlets of brutality + banded armor as starting items. Then I stack health and upgrade the gauntlets to slayers wraps.

The idea was 'simple' :
- fire circle is good but you can easily tag all creep for gold by switching attack anyway, and fire nova is more effective once you get lvl5.
- fireball I is only 300 damage, with this build you do ~200 damage in auto attack mode from the begining, without cast time or mana need.
- TB gets an impressive mana regen end game, most of the time you will sell some mana items then. With this build and no need for early mana you can put some money in HP/armor items more easily.

But anyway, TB is really not the funniest dg to play (and this build is probably useless in pro games, I dont care since it was fun to play for 2 games ).

The ability to hold a lane early comes from fire circle and level 1 fire ball. This is why its imperitive you capture a flag by yourself and kill the enitre first creep wave this = level 2 TB. Form dancing, fire circle and fireball = almost unmatched DPS in the first few minutes of gameplay. I almost always win the first 1v1 match vs any demigod with Fire TB.

You talk a lot of shit for being under 50% win.

Lukas plays against his premade quite a bit, I think that's why his win percentage is low.

Still, I wanna see you two go at it.

Are you able to edit this into your guide? Only about 1 (possibly 2) in 5 PuG players of (fire) TB manage to be able to do this well. I undersand how to do this myself, but maybe not as well as i could. Unless you are wrighting this guide just for good players (in this case alot of what you say is obvious), i think short explantions how to get early lane control and take down towers would allow this guide to benifit a larger number of players.

I really dont see the point of stats, from my experence with fire TB the only 2 stats that seem to matter 95 percent of the time are DPS and speed, you always either are chasing running or kiting. The boost to team members is one of the best support effects in the game.
