He's more about poking than fully commiting in lane. Always build accordingly to counter your opponent's damage, and if he doesn't really deal much, you can opt to quickly rush Black Cleaver/Phage/Blade of the Ruined King for damage.

For skill builds, try maxing Q first for decent poke. Max E second, or first if you need the armor in lane. You can level up your Aegis late since the shield health is pretty low, but opt to level it up early when you're playing safe.

On a side note, don't be afraid to use you ultimate for extra damage on a target, and always try using it after your Q, for the bonus damage. It can do quite a bit of burst damage.
