His burst damage isn't very high, but his sustained damage is good. He's the kind of assassin that actually tanks the enemy damage instead of just killing first (hence the reduced magic damage and the effectiveness of Rod of Ages). If you can pull off two autoattacks before activating W, and if you can proc Lich Bane twice, the target is dead.
