Interesting.. As mentioned, Lucidity will give him 30% attack speed due to his passive, instead of Berserker which would be 25%

That would mean Stinger is almost certainly going to be a highly-sought after item on him, as with a mage-styled build he could purchase Nashors Tooth for the on-hit and 90% attack speed, whereas Marksman-orientated would benefit greatly from being able to lead into Zephyr for tenacity, while gaining 25 ad, 70% attack speed, 10% CDR and 10% movement, making him a very agile character.

Throw the two together, it will take him 2250 gold to reach 90% attack speed, which would be a great boon early with AD-heavy runes/masteries. This assumes going for stinger/lucidity, but he can also greatly benefit from Brutalizer, since it will add 20% attack speed, making an excellent opportunity to buy Ghostblade.

On the other hand, being able to take CDR-per-level runes will effectively give him rapidly scaling attack speed, which would compensate innately slow AS growth.

Honestly, the potential for diversity and alternative AD build paths is astounding. I can't wait to see how he fares upon release.
