I think that by "abysmal" he meant that simple autoattacking is just not Lucian's playstyle. He actually works more like a ranged Riven, just like Hexmage said: Ability > AA > Ability > AA... And given that his ult is mostly a wave-clearer, I wouldn't get anyother AS item than a BotRK and a Trinity, which I mostly pick for the on-hit effects.

Speaking about that, I don't get the insistence in recommending not building Muramana. Even if you can solve his mana problems by plain preservation or with a Faerie charm or two, his passive encourages building on-hit effects. Muramana's toggle will add, at 100% mana, up to 130 dmg to the first hit, while the second one will add around 125. BotRK synergizes well too, since the on-hit effect will add 100 dmg to a target at 100% health, and the second one will add at worst around 60 dmg. That can be up to 415 additional damage, which is pretty much like criting.

Frankly, unless you can almost assure that the second hit will crit, on-hit effects seem more attractive than crit dmg to me, and since the forementioned items also give AD, they also seem more attractive than plain AD. But don't mind me, I've grown to think that he's made exclusively for abusing the blue build.
