I've built BT->Triforce->LW basically every game I've played Lucian and have not regretted it yet. The only change is that I occasionally build parts of triforce while waiting for BF sword -- usually getting a phage with double dorans and vamp scepter for eventful laning phases.
I dunno why you'd max E second. It's going to have a long cooldown regardless of its rank and the lower mana cost isn't that amazing. I'd rather have my W actually do damage. Lucian burst is scary.

The guy I duo with in ranked is the CrimsonCore mentioned in your thread (the guy thanks Crimson for doing maths to prove the build is good). He's a diamond 1
Lucian main and I can confirm to you that he builds exactly like listed in the thread and it's probably really the best way to play him yes.
Don't build
Trinity Force. Max E second also.

Now, I've been following this basically to the letter, occasionally changing based on my needs. BotrK against high HP champs, Brutalizer earlier if I'm doing well, etc.
Is this a decent way to build/play Lucian?
EDIT: I also max E second. Yay or nay to that?
