I think you should cover all the ways that people can play invoker.. It is incomplete without WE. Invoker is insanely good because you have 3 builds to choose from and you only name 2..

He mentions it in the questions :p. It's not really viable (WE), at least not compared to the other two builds.

There is a third viable build that's semi-WE build where you go 1-1-max, get eul's and then do the sunstrike, meteor, boom combo and kill off people before they can react to eul's. But I guess calling it WE is kinda a stretch, more of a E build.

Also, I know this guide is super old, but for new invoker players a tip when you're trying to kill someone in your lane early with cold snap + sunstrike combo, let a full range auto attack fly before you cast cold snap, that extra hit + proc on cold snap makes a huge difference.

Personally think you should change the skilling for QE invoker:

at level 6 you can hold the point, use it in wex if you have to ghost walk away and it can save you. Hold till 7 and you can skill both exort and invoker, giving you lvl 4 sunstrike, which can easily net you a kill. There's little to no reason to up that point in quas imo.

Extra tip: if you are taking next to zero harass and thus do not need a second level of Quas, do not put your level 6 point into Quas. Save it for level 7 where you can put your 2 points into Invoke and an extra point of Exort. This will make your Sunstrike hit even harder a level earlier than it otherwise would.

I started playing invoker recently, using this guide as a reference and it's a ton of fun. I'm focusing on QW builds for now, and I realized that I tend to get a TON of assists, but very few kills (and when I don't fuck up I also die very few times). Is it "normal", or is it a sign that I'm not agressive enough?
Anyway, I'm having a blast, and the great thing with invoker I feel is that you are a caster that is usefull all game long. I was a bit afraid to pick him up but honestly learning combos is not hard at all, and he is an extremely fun hero to play.

you're doing it wrong. at the beginning in the laning phase + early game try to use tornado to get the kill if the situation allows for it (i.e., you didn't already use tornado to initiate)

as a mid invoker, in the early game the kills belong to you, you need the gold to get your items and carry the early and mid game tempo

with fire invoker it's the same. if you can KS with sunstrike you should do it. you share in the experience even if you're not there and get the gold. later on you can sunstrike earlier to ensure kills/let your carry get the gold etc
