He does damage because of the combination of AP items and his passive, he needs both to work well, otherwise its minimal periodic true damage. The scalings aren't great, but give him the extra damage he needs to combo enemies. I'd also say Liandry's rush and a maybe a RoA would be great items, as he is not very long ranged. Tanky-AP seems best, probably RoA, Sorcs, Zhonya's, Rabadon's, Liandry's, Void staff for optimal build.

My main question is would his ult work through Zhonya's? Nothing in the ability states its a channel, meaning he could ult-Zhonya's if an enemy got too close.
