Spark and Shock

Dealing crit with lightning dmg has 100% chance to shock, howewer its duration depends on enemy hp. Shock can't be shorter than 300ms, which means we have to deal at least 5% of enemy hp in one hit to shock.
Here's my question. Is it possible to shock end game bosses (T15, Guardians, Shaper) with skills like spark/ball lighting when we deal a lot of weak hits instead of one big hit? I doubt I can hit for 5% or more with single hit. Is vaal lightning trap only way?

It really isn't possible, no. Vinktar is the other option.
Have you done something awesome with [url=http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Sire_of_Shards]Sire of Shards[/url]? PM me and tell me all about it!
Hah, thanks, vaal lightning trap is way cheaper option ^ ^

Since we are talking about lightning skills anyway, is is possible to make lighting trap viable (maybe there is some items to use with it) ot it's still shit? :|
Lightning Trap is a good pack clear skill. You just need to have one or two more skills alongside it for single target damage. That style of play used to be pretty popular until Ice Trap came along and could do both.

Hmmm maybe I will try it in future. Maybe GGG will introduce some jewel for it or just buff it. If I focus on trap and elemental/spell damage I could use fire trap to help single target (no idea if 2 types of trap share coldown, never played traps)
