As a support you generally focus on using utility and not damage to disrupt enemies. Meaning the 9th point in offense really isn't needed and can be put to better use in another tree. (Though to be honest I would go 9 defense for Support Lux since she doesn't need early CDR and needs some tanky). You only need one point in starting gold in utility since your starting options will either be Fairy charm+4 wards or fairy charm+2 wards+1 vision ward+1 potion of choice.

Support lux largely focuses on utility and harass with her passive+combination of slows and snares to get the job done. Ionian's, Shurelia's, Aegis, Randuin's, and a fifth item. I would say if you know how to play support and generally make use of your range and not get caught in the middle of the teamfight, Mejai's is worth considering. Athene's works as well of course but provides less offense for extra CDR to go beyond cap+mana. Alternatively, if you have a lot of AP on your team and either nobody bought wota or one champ relies heavily on it. Wota. If you have AD, Zeke's is worth a look into. It all depends on the game.

If you have TONS OF GOLD. Get Deathcap. Reliable, lots of AP, helps with your shield. Generally Athene's should work late for consistency.
