If you're talking about Electrified monsters, they are a big problem for most Barbarians. Especially if you use Whirlwind or Leap, because you can stand "inside" the monster and get damaged by all of the lightning bolts at once. My Barb has a lot of problems with Electrified, but Thunderstorm and Orbiter are easy.
Similar to Diablo 2, just Lightning Resistance doesn't solve the problem because of the huge number of charged bolts.
1. Superstition and Lightning Resistance can help, but you will still die if you stand too close to the monster for a long time. Superstition is a pretty good idea, though, because of the bonus fury.
2. Missile (Ranged) Damage Reduced by % helps versus Electrified (not Orbiter or Thunderstorm, though). So does Reduced % Damage from Elites.
(3. You may be able to dodge the bolts if you use a rune that gives +% Dodge, or you have Dexterity for some reason. You may be able to block them with a shield, too, but I'm not sure.)
If Lightning damage (only) is your biggest problem, you could try to find aXephirian Amulet.

Now the question is: why I always die? I can't find an answer, so I decided to write here ^^
Ask me anything if you can help me ... thank you:)
