Talk:Shock

Damage details

I suspect that the damage from shock should not be called Elemental at all, for these reasons:

• Elemental armor does not lessen it; only anti-Shock armor does.
• The damage pips are not green (Elemental) but rather light blue/cyan --- only Shock damage has this color, I think.
• This is similar to the situation with Fire. Only anti-Fire armor lessens the damage. The Fire damage pips are red, suggesting Normal damage, but neither Normal nor Elemental armor lessens the damage.

Is there any evidence that Elemental-vulnerable monsters (Undead and Constructs) take more damage from Shock than do Elemental-resistant monsters (Gremlins and Beasts)? If they take no more damage, then it is clear that damage from Shock should not be considered Elemental. Jdavis 16:02, 7 September 2011 (UTC)
