actually i have never maxed W before, i heard some people max it for faster jungling, you may want to tank for your boxes in s3 since they sometimes do more damage than shaco himself. It also increases fear duration which is good for ganking and jungling.

i used to max E first but i realised that E actually doesnt scale well with levels, the slow only increases by 10% even you spent 5 skill points. The damage increases for a bit but it already has decent scaling for damage.

Meanwhile leveling Q boosts your damage from items and base ad, and it spends less mana which is really good on shaco who has not much mana.

so max Q or W before E always
