I'll get credentials out of the way: I'm not going to call myself "experienced" because I'm not a Diamond or Plat player, but I've been playng Lucian for long enough to have a good grip on his damage and build opportunities.

That build is SICK.

Now, what I've been doing lately with relative success is taking my usual 6% Lifesteal quints and not building any more lifesteal in my item build. I like to build Lucian with higher crit chance and less up-front vamp because crit can proc on his Lightslingers. I literally take your exact build and swap the Bloodthirster for a Stattik Shiv (also charges on Lightslinger hits) and then I take Furor bonus Berserkers Greaves. Swifties are cool, but he moves fast enough for my tastes without them, plus I like having an early buff to the ulti with the Greaves attack speed.

Plus, the 6% Lifesteal runes will heal for a lot when Lightslinger crits with a Last Whisper (remember that Lifesteal heals you for the percentage of Real Damage you inflict, after damage reductions due to armor, masteries, and other effects have been applied).

In short, I like balanced AD and Attack Speed with around 50% crit chance to give him rounded spell damage, DPS, and Ult damage

I'm going to go run some Boots of Swiftness Movespeed God Lucian now.
