Shock

Status Ailment

A Shocked zombie on the Coast

Shock is an elemental status ailment associated with lightning that causes the affected target to take 50% increased damage from all sources.

Mechanics

A hit of damage that has a chance to shock is capable of inflicting shock. Critical strikes inherently have a 100% chance to shock. You can also gain chance to shock via gear or the passive skill tree. By default, only lightning damage is able to inflict shock, but certain equipment such as The Three DragonsThe Three Dragons
Golden MaskEvasion: (96-103)
Energy Shield: (20-22)Requires Level 35, 40 Dex, 40 Int+(26-30)% to all Elemental Resistances
Your Fire Damage can Shock but not Ignite
Your Cold Damage can Ignite but not Freeze or Chill
Your Lightning Damage can Freeze but not Shock"The ice seared his naked feet
As the lightning stilled his heart,
But it was the flames upon his lover's face
That roused him to vengeance."
- From 'The Three Dragons' by Victario of Sarn can change which damage types are able to inflict shock. Additionally, shocking ground inflicts shock without dealing damage.

The base duration of shock is 60 ms for every 1% of the target's maximum life (before party scaling) dealt by Lightning damage, up to a maximum of 50%. The minimum shock duration is 300 ms, meaning that lightning damage of less than 5% of a target's maximum life will not apply shock (increased shock duration effects notwithstanding).

The shock status is applied after the hit (not before), because the duration of the shock is based on damage dealt.
