Alternately, you could get a Cold  Arrow Rogue, and socket her bow, armor, and helm

Just thought it might be worth noting that the cold arrow that these Rogue mercs shoot has a shorter range than their normal attack or the fire skill from the fire arrow version of the Rogue merc. (I'm pretty sure they do less physical damage, too, just like the Amazon's Cold Arrow skill, although this isn't much of a consideration in this case.)

Just yesterday evening I watched my martial arts assassin tank a big bad while her cold arrow Rogue merc fired a mixture of normal arrows and cold arrows - all the cold arrows missed because the target was outside their range while the normal arrows were hitting fine.

If you're going for big lightning damage on a Rogue merc, it can be more effective to use the fire arrow flavor and add one jewel or something that has a touch of cold damage to keep the target chilled. That way, the chill will take place regardless of which attack (normal arrow / special arrow) the merc decides to shoot.
