I like to max W after Q and before R. In lane, you aren't really getting any major benefits from leveling R, while the increased damage and cooldown in ranged makes harassing and last hitting more effective. Also, you get increased mana regen and damage in hammer form which lets you stay around longer and push faster.

Although you lose out on the increased tankyness, defense shred, movement speed, and the one-hit bonus damage, I feel that the trade-off is worth it.

Although it seems like you're losing a lot, R's bonuses from leveling it up are pretty minor, and not as useful in lane as what you get by going for W.

This skill order makes your laning even more dominant, which translates into making you stronger for the rest of the game and your oppenent weaker.
