Theorycrafting Lightning Strike Marauder

Hey Guys,
So I am extremely new to building a character, usually i'll just go through a game and make decisions level by level, being very casual about it all. But I thought I would give this character a bit of forethought and I was interested in designing a lightning strike marauder.

I have picked up blood magic, resolute technique aswell as iron grip. I'm thinking Iron Grip as the bolts of lightning are considered projectiles and being able to consider strength as the damage multiplier would be handy.

I have also tried to pick up a little weapon elemental damage along the way aswell as loads of life, life leech etc. I really am unsure as to what weapon spec I will be using so any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Let me know what you think or if I am way off the mark.

Cheers,
Libreg

Just be ready to be extremely underwhelmed by Lightning Strike. Sweep, Cleave, Ground Slam, and Infernal Blow are all far superior to LS. The low initial hit damage, horrible projectile damage and mechanics...it's just sad.

Ah right, cheers for that. My other thinking was to go with Infernal Blow or Sweep.

How about this build? People seemed impressed. But maybe that was before some patch that changed things...
