Shock
Lightning damage from Hits Contributes to chance to Shock enemies. The higher the Lightning damage dealt, the higher the chance. By default a Hit has 1% chance to Shock for every 4% of the target's Ailment Threshold dealt.
Shock is a non-damaging lightning ailment that causes the target to take increased damage.
Mechanics
Shock grants a debuff of 20% increased Damage taken. This is additive with other damage taken modifiers.
Shock does not stack; each instance of shock has an independent duration and only the highest effect shock will apply.
The chance to apply shock depends on the amount of pre-mitigation damage dealt relative to the monster's ailment threshold. It is a base of 25% chance to apply per 100% of ailment threshold the hit deals.[1] Critical strikes do not inherently always apply ailments, but they do indirectly affect the chance to apply ailments due to critical damage bonus affecting the damage dealt.
