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. By default, only lightning damage is able to inflict shock, but certain equipment such as The Three DragonsThe Three Dragons

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 proportional to the damage dealt by the initial hit of lightning damage relative to the target's maximum life.

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

Let N be the lightning damage dealt, L be the target's effective maximum life and I the total increased shock duration.

Base shock duration is 27.6 seconds times the proportion of the target's effective maximum life dealt. The base (?) duration is capped at a third of this value (9.2 seconds). If the duration would be below 0.3 seconds, the shock effect is not applied; at base this is equivalent to 1.09% of the target's effective maximum life.

Version	Changes
1.2.0	Shock and Shocked Ground have been changed so that they cause 50% increased damage taken (rather than 30%) but no longer stack. They do not stack with each other either. "Cannot Be Shocked" now prevents players being affected by either Shocked Ground or Shock itself.
1.0.0	Shock has been reduced to 30% increased damage taken per stack rather than 40%.
