-There is currently a problem with Lightning Strike in the sense that it does not do the listed lightning damage. The Chain Lightning effect also does not seem to always hit all the monsters in range. It is speculative that a higher value of attack rating will boost the damage of the Chain Lightning and it is also debated if lightning sources from your gear influences the lightning damage of the skill. Highly problematic and thus another lightning skill may be better to use in version 1.09.
 Ranged skills will benefit from more amount of piercing chance. Especially Lightning Fury will be incredible when it hits more creatures after piercing releasing incredible amounts of lightning bolts.
-Because you are going to fight with melee lightning skills you will have to be able to defend yourself. For this you need to get a good balance in blocking with a shield, defense, optional damage reduction gear and at least get a good value for dodge. Getting good values for avoid and evade are less important, but should still be considered valuable.

Getting good defense is less important, as it's more difficult to do as an amazon, but if you can get a decent defense rating in addition to the rest it will certainly help.
-What is also important for fighting melee is the ability to hit hard and hit continuously. For this a good balance between attack rating, leech and physical damage is a must. Critical Strike and Penetrate will be more important skills to invest in.

 Penetrate: 5-10 (first boost dexterity to a decent value for damage and maxed blocking, then increase Penetrate to increase your attack rating to at least a recommended 85%)
 A good mercenary to have for Lightning Strike is a Blessed Aim act 2 mercenary. If you choose to not use this skill you can pick any mercenary you like. The most well-liked mercenaries are those from act 2, either with a might or defiance aura.
