If you are going to build her in SP, I _seeeriously_ advise you to
make her a hybrid, or you are going to find lightning immunes just too
big a PITA in Hell. You won't have good gear, and while you will
easily kill everything that isn't LI with just CS and LF maxed, LIs
will stop you cold. A decent Freezing Arrow on switch lets you stop
the LIs cold, instead. If you find a Ko (not too hard to do), Melody
makes a decent bow, or if you are a little bit luckier, a Lem will let
you make Passion, which is excellent. There are also half a dozen
decent-to-excellent unique bows out there. I've found hybrid zons
quite viable soloing in Hell (HC), while pure lightning builds can't
do it without either some teammates or substantial twinks.
