Thundergod's give +skillpoints (damage), Str. Vitality (life - wich is needed for surviving) and Lightning absorb(The whole build combined with Thundergod's +20Lightning absorb and +10% max lightningresist will make you immune to lightningdamage.. - souls cant damage you even in 8player game)
Razortail will add a little damage into your lightning fury.. since of the 33% pierce (+ your about 75% - that you will have if you followed the guide) The last 33% simply isnt needed. Since your main attack isnt Lightning fury (it's lightning strike)
For Thunderstroke - they dosnt get to 0 very fast, since your main attack still is lightning strike - they'l make your chaged bolts kill almost double as fast as with Titans. The javazon here isnt based that much into melee physical. - Some may preffer, but you can choose for yourself
Leeching - Since your main damage is lightning, you wont have much to leech from. It's hard to explain, your amazon wont need more mana than you can have in your belt.. (i carry 4 potions, and i maybe use 1-2 for 1 baalrun.. i pickup a few but you wont feel that you need mana - i dont) As for lifeleech, your Titans have from 6-9%.. and your helm from 0-10%.. Same as with mana your zon will have plenty of it. You dodge almost any damage, and the rest damage will go to your decoy/valkyrie/merc (but your merc can take it!)
Correct me if aim wrong, and i will take it up for a test. And then maybe add it
If you want it to be based on Survival and killing everything, then you WILL need the leech from your items. Piercing + leech equals maximum chance survival. Having 100% pierce means you will ALWAYS be able to hit more than one target. Note that only the INITIAL thrown bolt carries any effects that your items may carry; the rest of the bolts are pure lightning and nothing BUT pure lightning. That means with 3/4 pierce, you will only be doing 3/4 the damage you can. 2 extra points would not mean anything if you can do 1000 compared to 750 for example.
With thunderstroke, the damage is also lower than an upgraded titans, even taking with the factor that it lowers your enemy's lightning res. This will only be effective for PvP and that's pretty much it.
Anyways, I would recommend making a test character with zonfire's hero editor to check these item combinations.
