I am missing something with this. I currently cannot survive reflect in maps. the only way to clear the mobs I find is by taking out just a couple of monsters at a time. My AA gets turned off so quickly that if I sustain the casting of arc I die within 3-5 secs every time. I even bumped up My lightning resist to 75/170, and still cannot maintain mana on reflect maps. Are you skipping these maps or changing out your gems or links. My witch is lv 82 and even doing a Dry Peninsula map with reflect drained my xp from 40% to nothing in a matter of minutes....

My skill tree is identical to the tee, but I honestly probably did not select the same bandit rewards that you list, but don't see why that would matter that much.
My mana regen is 321/sec which I thought was pretty high. I am playing on Standard on a witch that was previously a different build no longer viable. I wanted to get the idea before spending time starting a new witch in Torment, but don't dare try now due to this one issue.

Reflect maps are not gonna be your friend with this build. You could equip a Saffell's Frame and run Purity of Lightning for 81% lightning resist, but your still gonna get wrecked by elemental reflect.

Reroll elemental reflect maps, do not run them! For that matter, in all maps you need to mouse over all rares before spamming Arc to see if the mob is has elemental reflect. You can instagib yourself damn near instantly if you go full HAM, especially with a crit build.

The only real way to safely mitigate elemental reflect with a high damage Arc build is to spec into Vaal Pact and run a high level life leech gem, which isn't really possible with this build without drastically changing the tree.

You can also setup a CWDT with Immortal Call and Increased Duration for when you get lazy and dont spot a reflect pack. In most cases this will save you, but it still wont allow you to run elemental reflect maps reliably.

I will definitely be skipping the reflect maps from here on out. Unless I change out my wand which has 10.48 crit chance, or drastically modify the tree points.

Immortal call will only block physical damage, so it wont help you survive through reflect at all. For me, I have ~24 k arc now and I still do fine vs. reflect mobs if I use my topaz flask, even though I only have 2% life leech. A life leech gem with quality would help you out greatly vs. reflect.
