You are right about maxing first, it has no point.

I am on the "Maxing  side", and i am willing to explain why - if you are willing to be open to my opinion:


 * The extra AD you get allows for the armor penetration to be more efficient.


 * While the AD grants doesnt look like too much, you have to see the whole picture. The AD increases your damage on  and, it returns up to 260 magic damage (that is a lot) in each exchange while blocking ~100 damage, and, if you think about it, increasing your AD means that  hits like a truck because each single autoattack you do deals more damage.


 * If you are one of those maths-guys: When taking only the base stats into account (no runes and masteries), compare her "damage per second" when maxing  and when maxing . Compare it at the point you have maxed either of it (level 9). You will find that Fiora deals 13,5 damage per second more when you max (the additional scaling you get on the other abilities by maxing  is not even yet included, so that has to be added on top).
 * I jungle her. For jungling, is a mix of extra-sustain (it prevents damage), and deals excellend damage to the monsters. That it blocks attacks is not to be underestimated. After clearing both buff camps, it saved ~200 of your HP. Thats like starting with an extra potion, your ganks are really scary when you strike with full health.
