His 1 and 2 require him to fire basics. HIs 3 even enhances those. His ultimate is his only source of damage that doesnt require him to fire a basic attack. Look how easily disarms shut him down
Actually, this is a pretty good question, and is a bit deeper than face value.
To point, Tlaloc is right... Hieroglyphic Assault and Evade and Punish are both applied with the use of basics. If his basics are shut down via Disarm, he's not doing anything.
That said, having abilities applied by basics can mean different things. For Freya, it means she wants basic attack speed...each individual hit of Pulse and Irradiate apply additional damage while they're active.
For Thoth, they're extremely limited applications, so he does NOT want to build like a basic attacker...he wants to build like a normal nuking mage.
