I would like to see the list.

this is a decent list of viable builds though i would only classify a few as optimal, I really would would like to see the rest.

- Infernal blow facebreaker
- Static blow LA build
- CI crit discharger
- life burning discharger
- Physical cleave
- Dualstrike splash
- Two hand sword spectral throw
- MoM + maxblock + AA incinerate

I can keep going really.Each of those builds have many variations too. Anyone who browses these forums probably knows several of these builds so I'm just surprised at people thinking there isn't tons of endgame builds. These are all builds that have been used by level 90+ players.

You listed an impressive list, much more than i expected. However, based on personal experience I have only seen the bolded in level 77/78 map rotations. I have not obviously played with everyone but I question if some of these are 77/78 viable.

I will summarize the list based on what ive seen:
-tanky aegis tank or similar (infernal blow, reave, double strike)
-Melee (cyclone,dual strike)
-Bow variants (LA,split)
-wanders (usually physical)
-spectral throw (CI crit dagger , life based 2 handed )

(Note the playstyle for the last 3 are almost identical, that is, spam lmp+main skill from a distance and the first two are usually the same build)

Part of the issue is lack of viable main skills or perhaps the balance between them makes it so only a few truly shine.

Don't forget dual totems :)
there are 2 things that are endgame viable

1. go aegis
2. go ranged

everything else has to skip too much map mods

- CI flicker crit builds. (reflect)

They easily deal with reflect, if built properly (have balance between damage and ES pool, use IC on CWDT, max crit/hit chance instead of max damage/critdamage, etc).
My shadow is an example of that. He never has any issues with reflect, even in reflect maps with vulnerability. To be honest, elemental reflect+reduced maximum resistances is an insane combo for almost any elemental build, very hard to survive.
