if you are laning vs them, they can't stay away forever. if they do, you get mana regen from last hitting. If you aren't laning agaisnt them, then you are kassassinating, i.e. they only see you when you unload your full combo. And i've already said this, but it only takes 2 hits to deal 60 damage (not including base damage from autoattacks, not to mention the additional 48 mana).

And there is a well known use of the W even when it still had armorpen, was to just use it to stack force pulses.so it even increases the damage you do from that indirectly. No, it isn't damagedamagedamage, but it satisfies all of kassadins hidden desires, so you don't have to focus so heavily in itemization on it. It's what lets me rush rabadons after the tear.

On an aside, i'm pretty sure all kass's run mana regen seals, he still needs more mana though.
