Shock

Tooltip

Shock is an ailment that causes targets to take 20% increased damage, and lasts 4 seconds by default.

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 (though there are things that change this rule, such as Stormweaver's ascendancy node Strike Twice).

The chance to apply shock depends on the damage taken by the enemy after mitigation relative to the enemy's ailment threshold. It is a base of 25% chance to apply per 100% of ailment threshold the hit deals. 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.

Default shock if otherwise unspecified is 20%. This value can be increased through modifiers to effect/magnitude of shock; shock is capped at a maximum of 100%.
