The thing is that you can and SHOULD always cast your W on the target whenever you score a direct hit with the spaling. Coupled with a Q and 2 guaranted autoattacks, this is a 2.2 AP ratio burst of damage with nice bonuses such has a passive proc. I can assure you this is VERY effective. What's more, Maokai is a CRAZY farmer when you play him AP and level up your E first.
