Charged Strike is an Amazon Skill in Diablo II.
Description
An Amazon devoted to the path of Zerae will be able to harness the forces of vengeance and storms. During Rites of Vengeance, Zerae will confer to the Amazon attacks that unleash a wild burst of electrical energy, striking down nearby enemies. A grizzled veteran of the Time of Troubles once said: "Spear-women walking the 'Path of Zerae' are best given wide berth, for they can be as violent and indiscriminant as the storms on the Twin Seas".

A lightning attack that releases charged bolts.
Charged Strike adds Charged Bolts to Spear and melee Javelin attacks. Multiple Charged Bolts will be released, and since this is from melee range, the target is almost guaranteed to absorb many of these bolts, making this one of the most damaging skills in the game against single targets, especially larger ones (like, say, act bosses). Any extra bolts that do not hit the target will still fly forward and possibly hitting enemies behind it. These attributes make Charged Strike one of the most popular melee skills utilized by Javazons.
