AP Varus skill order?

[quote=CrazyMBP]Hey guys, was just looking to mess around in a few normals with AP Varus. I thought I would max W no question, but a lot of builds I've seen have maxing Q or E before W. So just curious, what is the best option? Or if it depends on situations, when should I max which? LOL[/quote]

[quote=Firehusary]Maybe max E into W into Q? I saw people do this, E gives you more base damage, then ofc W and Q will be rather useless, so why bother?[/quote]

[quote=NorthernRedStar]You can go AD with CDR boots and spam [[Piercing Arrow]] for constant 500+ dmg poke. It's actually more viable imo. For AP I believe the skilling order is W, E, Q, as E procs the W stacks much easier.[/quote]

[quote=OTGBionicArm]NorthernRedStar is right. CDR/AD/Armor Pen varus is likely more viable in the mid lane. I'm an avid fan of AP Varus, but he does have his downfalls. You wanna max W as it is your main source of magical damage, however, no matter what you do, your laning damage is pitiful unless you use AD runes and max Q (Your damage will still kind of suck assuming you are running AP masteries still). General build I use is; [[Sorcerer's Shoes]] [[Nashor's Tooth]] [[Rabadon's Deathcap]] [[Zhonya's Hourglass]] [[Void Staff]] [[Lich Bane]][/quote]

[quote=Vengenator][color=#E8570C]Depends on the matchup. If you can easily get stacks off your opponent max w. If you're having difficulty getting stacks then max e.[/color][/quote]
