Dota 2 - Timbesaw Build Guide

BIO
Rizzrack could still hear the screams in his mind. He worked, frantically turning wrenches, twisting screws, building and carving and forging. Sleep eluded him; he only built. Months had passed since he had shut himself in his uncle's workshop, and his deliverance was nearly complete. He rubbed his back as his eyes drifted shut, and saw a blanket of flowers floating on the placid waves of Augury Bay before exploding into a cloud of pollen that silenced lives as it seized the lungs. He woke with a choking start. For hours the rhythmic sound of a whetstone filled the shop as he sharpened a set of massive blades, his mind filled with images of strangling vines garroting neighbors, enwrapping homes. The flooding of Augury Bay had been nothing compared to the violent horrors the waters left to take root beyond the city walls. But the saw-suit would make him strong and safe he thought, allowing himself this sliver of hope before the full might of his fear crashed into his fading mind. Branches and bark and blood. When the city fell, Rizzrack fled trees that walked, and fought, and killed. Trees had shattered the gates and swarmed into the city. Trees had crushed and thrashed and stomped the last that Augury Bay could muster in defense, and stalked the few fleeing refugees. In addled silence Rizzrack unspooled the thick chain from the suit's arm, his hands quaking as he inspected each link and ran a trembling finger along the claw attached at its end. The saw-suit was ready. With his hand trembling he sparked the bladed machine to life. Terror drove him, terror of what awaited him and of what he would have to face to have any hope of calming his mind. As the saw-suit shuddered to life he knew he must face this fear, and he knew he wouldn't like it one bit.

Why take Timberchain for level 1? Well, you need to avoid if there is a firstblood attempt from enemies. Use Timberchain to jump-out.

Why maxed Whirling Death first? This is your biggest nuke, can be use to farm, or to damaging some nearby enemies.

Why maxed Timberchain before Reactive armor? Nukes should be maxed first, thats the rule of DotA. Nuke will deal a nice damage for early-mid game, and will loss it's potential in late game. And Reactive armor will reduce damage from attacks which is useful on mid-late game.

ave to go mid, you might consider taking death over chains, but shredder shouldn't mid (no trees).

STRATEGY
Early Game
If you are not partnering with carry, you can use your time to last hits the creeps. Farm something to make you get some nice items. Use your skills WhirlingDeath and TimberChain once in a while to harass enemies. And if you have the chance, try to get firstblood using those two skills.

Mid Game
You need to start ganking here, in mid game, this is your time to shine. Here you should already have Chakram and start roaming and finding enemy to kill. You can jump freely like a Tarzan using Timberchain, and have some fun using Whirling Death that also can cut some trees. Use Chakram to deal damage more. If you have loss all your mana, retreat is the best choice, you are a very mana dependant hero, mana is everything for you. Remember that Chakram is also a slower skill, with this, you will be easier to escape from enemies. Timberchain and Chakram, a perfect tool for an escape artist, you.

Late Game
What you need in teamfights are: To keep cahainskill all you have. Although your damage isn't painful anymore. You still have slower ability from Chakram that will slow down enemies, and maybe still deal a good damage. Also remember that you have Whirling Death that will reduce enemy' stats. 15% reduction for main stats in a late game can be a pain for your enemy. be sure to cast any items you have during teamfights, maybe item like Shiva, Mekans, or NecroBooks will helps your team.
