I only played my charged boltress for a few minutes in 1.10, and it was online. So my input is very limited.
But from what I could glean from my short playtime was that despite being only half equiped (some of her equipment went into a nova sorc) she was still quick to kill. I was the only person in the game though, so I am not entirely sure how she would fare in players8. She had a whopping total of +4 to lightning skills (+3 from a magic circlet I gambled in 1.08) and killed very proficiently in act 5 hell. She is level 83, abandonned in 1.08 due to boredom induced by her massively overpowered strength.
But I must say they are worth trying out, and I highly enjoyed leveling her (with very minimal plus skills). She was created in 1.06, leveled to level 30, and quickly ran to 83 in the first expansion lurker games. I never felt underpowered, and never ran across any major problems.
She used 20 CB, 20 Mastery, 20 Thunderstorm, and 20 teleport.
She wasn't fancy, and didn't require any fancy gear.
Well aware that 1.10 may be a different animal, so take my advice with that in mind.
