The trick to this is that the bullet reflection from a Cold build has unlimited range (reflects back at source, no matter how far away source is.)

By contrast, an Electric build requires range mods to hit anyhting beyond a range which is just slightly beyond that of an Orthos Prime. And what's the main mod for this? Overextended - so -60% power strength.

Once you factor in the -60% strength from Overextended, and the fact that it only discharges when you take a certain amount of damage, you're almost always better off with the lower multiplier on a Cold build.

If an Electric build had double the base range it currently does, so that with only Stretch it could reach out to mid-distance, then a Shock build would be totally viable. As it stands now, Cold is just better, sadly.
