Id get R > E > Q > W

Most guides suggest W > Q, but since youre midlane, single target damage is worth it more and W is difficult to use if the enemy can easily dodge.

Q Always does a certain damage, usually at least 40%, even when they flash while W is less safe.

I would REALLY suggest to get W on lvl 2 though, it helps a lot for ganking and when you can aim it well, its really rewarding. The damage increase isnt worth it though i think, the mana increase on the other side is pretty much hurting your laning, unless you have blue, which you usually dont have permanently.

Another option ofc is to build a grail to compensate the cost, but thats a matter of taste. I prefer other items, even though i love running with ult for 2 minutes straight.

Without other MReg items the grail itself btw is worse than most other mreg items with other stats that suit him more, you should definitely think about getting something else for mreg.
