Weirdly Triforce is a bit of a trap as a first item, in terms of damage at any rate.

Hit them with your Q and then the doubleshot with a Bloodthirster and it hits harder than if you'd rushed Trinity. So obviously raw AD is really nice on him.

But you have to figure in crit and stuff too, because both the shots on Lightslinger can crit... and you can't ignore armor pen, and someone as kite-happy as Lucian needs some AS too... with him being a "casterish" ADC CDR is always nice too... you end up with a load of really nice items for him, but it can be hard to decide which ones are best at any given time. It's not like, say... Ashe, where it's commonly accepted wisdom that you just get IE then Zeal and so on.

I'm still trying to figure out the optimal build order. I've got lots of really nice components, most of which you mentioned (Zephyr's really good on him too) but it's the question of "what do I build when?"
