Shock is an elemental status ailment associated with lightning that causes the affected target to take increased damage from all sources.
Whereas most status ailments do not stack cumulatively, a single target can have up to three shock effects simultaneously. Each shock level causes the affected target to take 30% more damage, up to a total of 90%. For this reason, shock can be an extremely dangerous status ailment.
Shock is typically inflicted by critical strikes of lightning damage. There are other ways for shock to be applied as well. Targets cursed with 
Conductivity have a chance to be shocked when hit with any lightning damage. The Module Error: Too many skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Arc". Please choose only one of the following ids:
VaalArcBossSideArea - Deals (1-46) to (3-138) Lightning Damage, 50% reduced Skill Range, 10% chance to Shock enemies, Chains +(10-20) Times (page)
ShrineArcPlayer - Deals (1-83) to (7-1574) Lightning Damage, 10% chance to Shock enemies, Chains +2 Times (page) skill has a built-in chance to shock targets. Various passive skills like Static Blows give you chance to shock the target with lightning damage.
The base duration of shock is proportional to the damage dealt by the initial hit of lightning damage relative to the target's maximum life.
Let N be the lightning damage dealt and L be the target's effective maximum life.[a][b] The shock duration D in milliseconds is then given by:
If N > L ÷ 3, then N = L ÷ 3 D = N ÷ ( L ÷ 100 ) × 276ms
If the duration would be less than 300 milliseconds, the shock effect is not applied. The maximum, unmodified shock duration from lightning damage is 9.2 seconds.[1]
