Honestly if you are looking for minion popping there is probably a better power to use than lightning strike. Just pick up one of the bursts/blasts and go from there. Sorc has way to many good area of effect powers to use lightning strike on minion killing.

Need a few pre-generated characters for a one-shot you are running? Want to get a baseline for what an effective build for a class you aren't familiar with? Check out the Pregen thread here
If ever you are interested what it sounds like to be at my table check out my blog and podcast here
Also, I've recently done an episode on "Refluffing". You can check that out here

the char is an elementalist so I will have an area burst 1 already.
the point of lighting strike is if they are speard out to far for an area burst, and so I can do striker damage to whichever two targets I want and still kill minons, rather then having to do damage to a less then ideal target because they are next to minons.
Insulting someones grammar on a forum is like losing to someone in a drag race and saying they were cheating by having racing stripes.
Not only do the two things not relate to each other (the logic behind the person's position, and their grammar) but you sound like an idiot for saying it (and you should, because its really stupid )

So you are a human and picking up this power as a bonus power? Typically picking a bonus at-will isn't worth it. And even if you do get a bonus at-will I'd take Burning Spray over Lightning Strike any day.

elementalists get a third at-will for free at 9, I already have a ranged basic and a area burst slow, don't really want a melee basic, or a close attack

No, elementalists get random sorcerer at-wills as they level. They're generally superfluous.

They are, but there are some niche places where they can be useful. Ensorcelled Blade gives an MBA if you regularly end up in the middle of things somehow, and Blazing Starfall gives a dual damage area effect (hello Essence Mage!) and one of them is Radiant, so it does nasty things to many undead.
