Q has solid base damage increase with ranks, from 20 to 120. It ofc always applies your total AD so you can have mana efficient poke by leaving it at rank 1. But if you are looking to win your lane and not just hang around farming Q is best to max, and if you looking to only farm Q is appealing to max for bonus gold. Maxing W does give a strong sustain and high mana efficiency, so its a good option for Farmplank, sacrificing gold gain for safety.
