Its not his damage that makes him good; its actually a little bit lower than most other mages. His strength is that he gets 80% of a burst caster's damage by building a Tear and tank items. Thus, you cant burst him down, or ignore him. His early game is pretty weak, but once he gets his items going, he's very scary.
