For other people's sake OP might contain Catarina 1% lightening leeched as life tip.

Sure, I planned to add that from the start, was just away from home, couldn't edit thread. Will add tomorrow.

How well does this build handle reflect?

What are the levels on your CWDT setup

CWDT 7 EC 9 IC 8 enf 9

you can do it with CWDT 4-5 as well if you want more triggers, but I think the above setup is optimal.

That means 44 strength from items

thank god for the crafting benches making it way easier to add that mod to things

would a 6 linked Lightning Coil be a good choice for #2 and #3 builds? with the sacrifice of MoM in the #2 build.

For build #2, no, you simply cannot sacrifice MoM because it is more or less the core of the build.

For build #3 it would be very good indeed!

Added a FAQ and updated curses link for Assassin's Mark for the two crit builds.



~~~F.A.Q.~~~
1) How do you sustain with any of these builds?
- You get lightning damage leech. Since the Forsaken Masters 1.2. patch, you can craft lightning damage leech on gear for 4 chaos by getting Catarina's favour and crafting gear on the bench in your hideout.

2) How do you deal with elemental reflect?
- As any elemental damage build, you should treat elemental reflect mobs and maps with care. However, by should run Purity of Lightning and taking the Unnatural Calm passive node in the passive tree (which gives you +1 maximum lightning resist), you reach 80% lightning resist. With a topaz flask (which you should always have), you reach 90% lightning resist. With the flask nodes above the witch, you can reach 93% lightning resistance! Compared with life leech, this should be enough to keep you alive even against the biggest elemental reflect mobs.

How do you think the damage of this build compares to a crit freeze pulse?

Honestly, no idea. I can just say BL might give a slight better aoe.
