I think shicking is lightning. Should say it on the string.

yep, it will convert your damage from (assuming max damage)
15-28 piercing damage
to
15-28 lightning damage

yeah..
i know shocking upgrades your weapons to "lightning damage"
and i would like to know the effects of "lightning" damage...

does it have chance of stun enemy? like elementalist's lightning spells?
extra damage on warrior? etc
thanks =)

No it has no effects like that.

All it effects is armor, such as warriors get extra armor against physical, well this would bypass it.

I'll pay you like 800 for one.

Just using to have lightning over piercing isn't worth it.

well for pve, monsters have diffrent weakneses.
out of a firey, shocking, ebon, and peircing. all with the same damage.
shocking does more to mergoyles, and ebon more to bog scales

sorta like holy damage and undead

also hitting a ranger with it on would reduce the dmg you did as well
