The first few levels after getting the skill would be a pain, but after you get it to a decent length(range 10? based on weapon range 5 being about 3 tiles away), at about slvl 4-6, it starts becoming more useful. Plus Leaf(TirRal) is pretty easy to come by. Lore(OrtSol) is trickier, since Sol doesn't start dropping till late Act5 Normal. Rhyme is a good choice if you haven't gotten Leaf(or can't use the staff with Fire Mastery), and preferrably with a +3 fire(Inferno/Warmth) skills orb. An Act 2 merc with Holy Freeze or some other aura-granting item in 1.10 would round off her elemental abilities.
