can someone give me tips using Earth Spirit...
The most common combo I've seen and used with Earth Spirit is the Geomagnetic Grip to stun followed immediately by Rolling Boulder, then depending on my level I either use Magnetize then Boulder Smash or just Boulder Smash after the Rolling Boulder.
Early game try to let your lane get pushed near your tower than use the combo I mentioned just now to kick your opponent within tower range, if you have a half decent teammate and the enemy has no escape skills you should get an easy kill early game.
If you're facing an opponent with Blink or other escape skills drop a stone remnant and use your 3rd skill then while the opponent is stunned use the first skill on the stone remnant moving towards you to not only damage him but also silence him preventing him from using his escape skills.
Remember to take advantage of his skills insane low cooldowns and how the stone remnants interact with all his skills. If you Ulti and you notice that you managed to magnetize a lot of the opposing team drop a remnant and boulder smash it towards one magnetized target, every unit magnetized even if they were never hit by the remnant would be silenced same with the slow of the Rolling Boulder.
When you ulti make sure to count a bit before dropping another stone remnant to reset the debuff and damage that his ulti does a max leveled ulti does 100 damage per second if you manage to wait at best 5 seconds before reapplying the debuff and damage from the ulti you can deal quite the amount in terms of damage.
The way the ulti works also works well against those that have escape skills. Most players I've encountered who have escape skills tend to overstay their welcome and wait until there health is just below 50% if you use the 3rd-1st skill combo I mentioned you can easily get close enough to drop your ulti on the guy so if he's still alive after the silence ends as long as you guess the direction he blinks at and drop a stone remnant at the same direction you should get the kill easy.
As far as team fights go there's not much to say, his skills pretty much have clear advantages all you need is proper positioning and you can silence a lot of them or stun a lot of them or both
Again I can't stress enough how you should take advantage of his low cooldowns but in this case don't forget to use your skills to save teammates from getting ganked, try to stay back a bit when for example a teammate wants to ward an area use the 3rd skill to save their life, if you're still worried about teammates life you can use your first skill to kick him further away from danger
If your planning on escaping take advantage of Rolling Boulder + Stone Remnant but also take into account that should an enemy hero get in front of you before Earth takes off you'll only go as far as where that hero was standing so make sure you use it when the direction you're going to is somewhat clear, if not use your first skill to kick them out of the way.
Personally I found more success with Earth Spirit when I roam and gank early, the only downside is the mana management usually I try to make sure every gank counts as early game after using the common Earth combo usually depletes your mana big time.
