AUG is an AP item, wich makes it a lesser purchase for Ryze. But it is also not very cost efficient, so rushing it isnt good either, its only for very mana hungry casters and Ryze doesnt need much manaregen with his massive mana pool. Banshees is also not cost efficient and shouldnt be built early. You should have went for tear, negatron, catalyst, roa. Regular stuff. About laning vs Lux. You should not get hit by her Q too often, its absolutely dodgable at max distance and if she takes risk to get closer to land Q you can punish her severely if you her Q. You can pop ult and walk aside or even flash it if she is far from own turret. Real issue against Lux is her E being reliable poke and strong pushing tool, so you have to be ready to take damage(get pots) and to take farm under tower. In general, Ryze is a bruiser so you want raw mana, hp and mres asap and not some fancy unique effects. You should also feel free to use ult for speed boost to initate, CD is low and it rly helps in forcing trades wich Ryze wins.
