charged bolt can be pretty tough actually, back b4 I quit diablo I made me the ultimate all out lightning sorc. she had like lvl 40 charged bolt/mastery/thunder storm/nova. the charged bolt would eat up bosses as long as they werent lightning immune, and for the monsters I would use nova. the thunder storm was for killing stupid ppl w/o resists, and the charged bolt would work better in pvp I'd say. the charged bolt did like 217 per bolt and it shot like 40 some bolts or something. she also had like max resists so other sorc's would just whipe her ass w/ their face, it was all fun.

So this baby seal walks into a club.
