I had been experimenting on skill orders for AP Kayle based on some guides on solomid, and I concluded that E's scaling makes prioritising the other spells a better choice.

I had been trying RQWE for skill orders and Kayle hits like a truck early on with just 1 point of E, while Q scales really nicely but doesn't do much with 1 point at level 4. Mid game when skirmishes are all over the places, maxing W helps you position yourself with that scaling on the MS and having the extra 180 healing is really significant when tanks really only have 2.5k-ish HP and most other champions have around 1.5k HP on average.

In all it's nice to have that 'extra BF sword worth of damage' early on but functionally speaking, her other skills are just superior in terms of utility.

In general I'd say E should be maxed last, but AD builds should find that E scales better than Q because of the reliance on auto-attacking.
