So i was doing some calculations, and with his maximum AP without gathering storm, which I adapted from viktor's found here, swapping viktor's core for another deathcap, he has a max of 1853 AP, (with baron, three infernals, elder, and ornn). So, three stacks of his W will detonate for 15%+1853*6/100, for a whopping 126% of their maximum health as bonus magic damage. Combine this with the fact that you hit them at least three times for at least 75% AP, you can do a lot of damage. Of course, your early game will suck, but you get to shred cho'gath, so it all works out in the end.
