Qestion about shock stacking

theres 2 ways to get shock stacks, either your lighting damage does a critical strike, or you have passives or abilities that gives your lighting damage a chance to shock.

but your shock duration is base off the amount of damage compared to the enemy's max health. the calculation is 276ms per 1% max life dealt as lightning. and if the shock duration is less than 3 seconds, the shock wont happen.

thus you must deal at least 2% of the target's health in lighting damage in order to shock the target.

so in your case, if you only add 1 damage of shock, you will only shock have a chance to shock the enemy if the enemy's max health is 50 or less.

as for the stacking, im not sure if each stack is on it's own timer or if stacking will reset the timer. from how other stacking abilities work, I can assume it'll reset the timer.

as for the damage increase, you are correct, if you can shock an enemy 3 times, then all damage done will be increased by 120% regardless of what damage type it is.

though you wont see this happening unless its a boss or you have some other way to do shocks, since 3 crits on a normal mob would more than likely kill them out right.
