Build Guide

I got a Woh around my second week of RoS launch (super lucky.) I tinkered around with all the CDR mixmatching and made a video for my friends. I also asked a friend of mine BigNashGaming to make his. My armory for exact numbers http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/loonesta-1775/hero/562289

First off I'll say this is a good starter build for anyone that has a Woh or TF and some lightning damage but not perfect gear. All my gear pre-2.1 was fire damage and I'm just now building this new lightning set in between.
This build will run very similar to the old school Woh builds but with a few exceptions. There's a similar video and build from Jaetch where he uses the Arcane Torrent but doesn't stack CDR. I've found that stacking the sweet spot of CDR (45-50%) gets you a nice little stream of explosions off EB. You mix that with stacking lightning damage, blizzard with added lightning damage, mirror images for defense, and black hole for control and you're in for some good times.

LIFE ON HIT!!! This is so broken on this build now. I haven't really looked into it to see if every ability is working like I think it is, but with only 1 or 2 items with LOH and the paragon points into it, I can face tank mobs all day into the 20-26 GR range.

Lightning Damage, CDR, LOH and you're ready. Everything else is just to push the GR higher.

Spam EBCast Mirror Images and Black Hole for control/Defense (almost spammable)
Let your Mirror Images cast Blizzard for you if you want, you can cast it yourself as well.

Easy to play, high survivability and a pretty low gear demand if you get the Woh.

Please leave any opinions on gear and skills if you can, I started the build last night and played for about 5 hours so it's still in the beginning phases. Let me know what you think guys!
