If it crits, yes.

Even if you afflict a shock stack, its duration will depend on the amount of lightning damage you did. So if you don't focus specifically on lightning damage you might not get long enough shock stacks to affect any meaningful part of the ignite duration.

Also, if you dont do enough lightning damage the shock wont be applied at all, even on crits.

From Mechanics Thread :

Burning, Chilled, Frozen, and Shocked are collectively known as Status Ailments.
The duration of the chilled, frozen, and shocked statuses is related to the amount of cold/lightning damage dealt:
Shocked: 276ms per 1% max life dealt as lightning
Chilled: 138ms per 1% max life dealt as cold
Frozen: 100ms per 1% max life dealt as cold

All three are capped at considering 1/3 of max life - if you deal more than 1/3 max life as that element, the status ailment occurs as though you did exactly 1/3.

The maximum unmodified durations are therefore:
Shock: 9.2 seconds
Chill: 4.6 seconds
Freeze: 3.33 seconds

If the duration would be less that 300ms, it's ignored entirely (the effect is not applied).
For characters using Chaos Inoculation, these durations are calculated based on what the character's maximum life would be if they did not have Chaos Inoculation.

Eitehr on crit, or if any active skill specifically sais that it has a additional chance to shock, or with a few passives (e.g. Static Blows or Shock)
