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, defensedodgability, optional damage reduction gear and at least get a good value for dodge. Getting good values for avoid and evade are defense is less important, as it's more difficult to do as an amazon, but should still be considered valuableif 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, though with a good number of +skills, they'll be a bit less important.
'''The recommended skill choices are'''
Jab: 1
Fend: 0-1-20
Charged Strike: 1-20 or Lightning Strike: 1-20
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.
