Agni, The Hindu God Of Fire!
Agni is a low health, mid-high damage, very high control mage, who has good escape, initiation, stun, damage, range, and pretty much everything you could hope for. He's a very hard god to play right because you need to make use of his high control to get you high damage. If you play him right though, you can shoot your opponent down to under half health with your ults, and then finish him off with a noxious fumes, into path of flames, into flame wave. he might seem like a very spammy god from the outside. but the inner workings of agni are very intricate.
Normal Build:
My general build as Agni is fairly basic, or simple. It consists of very high magical damage items. the reason you dont have any defensive items whatsoever is because if you play Agni correctly, you should be able to stun, dash in, and get the kill before he even has the chance to move.
Bancroft's Talon
Bancroft's Talon is what i consider a very very good item in the game of smite. because of its whopping 100 magical power along with its 1 extra magical power for ever 1% of missing health (might not seem like much, but it adds up, half health is an extra 50 magical power for example!!!).
Book Of Thoth
Book Of Thoth is another great item in smite, it has another 100 magical power, and helps you greatly with your mana. at full stacks you are getting an extra 875 mana.... thats outrageous.
Germ Of Isolation
This item makes it way easier to hit your ulti's, and also helps you keep up with your fleeing enemy so that you can wait for your abilities to recharge.
Soul Reaver
This item is great for initial damage, its passive will pretty much just remove 15% of the opponents health, no questions asked. again another 100 magical power isnt to shabby for the one shots.
Obsidian Shard
This ones a very situational item, it does have 33% pen, and another 70 magical though, which will help to deal with tanks. i would recommend keeping this item, but if you have a better idea for what would work in the current game, then go for it.
Risk-ay Build
The ONLY thing different about this build is the early game Chronos' Pendant. you are sacrificing speed, for infinite mana (with mana buff) early game. if you go for this, note you will essentially be a turret, throwing out the abilities, but having no mobility. you will also be sacrificing a little bit of damage. but the mp5 makes up for that in the long run.
As Agni, try to get your 3 first, then 1, then 2. priorities shift to 4, 2, 3, 1. 4 being most important, 1 being least.
Noxious Fumes
Agni is a skill dependant god, so in turn, you need to understand your abilities. your 1, noxious fumes will be a large circular fume cloud, that will explode if ANY OF AGNIS ABILITIES TOUCH IT, stunning all gods in its radius. This is an ESSENTIAL ability for agni, and virtually every initiate should include this ability.
Flame Wave
Agni's 2 is flame wave, like He Bo's ulti except he doesnt travel with it. This ability will set off noxious fumes, but you will NOT want to use it for that purpose because it has a short delay, and that delay is enough time for your opponent to escape the fumes. This ability is your one of your main damage dealing skills, and should be used POST stun.
Path Of Flames
This is what i believe to be one of your main abilities. This will make agni dash forward (a fairly long distance) and leave a "path of flames" behind him. this is the ability that you want to set off noxious fumes with. THE COMBO IS: 1, into 3, into 2. use this in quick succession as to not allow your opponent to escape the fumes, or be free of the stun before you set your 2 off. TAKE NOTE that your 3 does ALOT more dmg than you think, so try to anticipate your opponents movements, and dash straight through them, as to stun them OVERTOP of your flames. also note that this does ticking damage, and noxious fumes CAN be set off by this tick (EX: you dash, through your opponent, and then turn around and place your noxious fumes over top of your flames, the next tick will set off the fumes.)
Rain Fire
Agnis ulti is your MAIN POKE. use this to get your enemy's low to set up for your noxious fumes combo to finish them off, or just to shoot low health enemies down from a distance. this also sets off noxious fumes, but again its not recommended. this ability stacks up to 3 times, and recharges one stack every 15 seconds. you can tell how many you have from the buff right above the ability bar, or the number of fireballs rotating around your head.
Pros:
High Poke
High Control
Fairly High Damage
Stun/good combo
Cons
Hard to play
Risky
Low health
Agni is a hard to play god, that should be used carfully, and fed early for the late game. Try to farm gold and xp as fast as possible, and out poke your opponent early to force the back, and out level him. DONT WORRY IF YOU DONT GET THE KILLS EARLY ON.
try to roam often, as Agni's ganking can be very strong.
Thanks for reading!!! i have main'ed Agni for a while now and i can say without a doubt he is one of, if not my favourite god to play.
If you have any questions, or want to just play a few games, contact me in game at Jackychan.
Thanks again.

And now, to the positive stuff: i like that you explain how to play him, and i actually had a really good game, because i used the combo / build.
But yeah, add some colors / pictures, maybe a build more or 2 and it will be a really nice guide.
+1 from me

Lacks guiding, downvote.
Now for a more detailed thingy:
Needs a more flexible build, better skill explanations, and actual guiding. Yes, I'm repeating that. As in, gameplay. How to farm, how to face gods who can counter you, etc.
it's not that hard to add some bbconding, taking a look into the guide will take no time at all.
the guide it's not bad, but build lacks defense choices as
I am not upvoting the guide till you add more variety on it as well more bbcodes.
If you want some help here are some usefull codes:
[.rule] - Creates a line, like the one above, you can use it to separate stuff as itens and abilities.
.isis - Creates a little icon of any kind of item, abilitie or god that is on smitefire database, like this one:
[.icon=isis size=50] - Creates the icon of whatever you want, but know you can choose the size and the name is not write in front.
[.center][./center] - Centralize whatever is on the middle of the code
i kinda made this guide just to be something that you can pick up and play, good point on the thoth though. forgot about that for some reason... so im fine if its a boring read, as long as it makes good scores :P

Okay. The main problem I see with your guide is the lack of BB Coding. I don't really play

But from what I see, the guide seems okay. Try to explain the laning phases as
yeah i know i dont bbcode very much. but it comes from my heart and i know what im doing, so its in fairly good depth around the parts i though people would be confused about (the skills for example). ill try to explain the phases more, its fairly simple though, if you see someone pushing, just hop over there call vg1 or vg3 and then initiate with 1 3 and 2, your team will clean the rest up with a few ultimates.
