Lightning damage is one of the five damage types and is one of the three types that count as elemental damage.
Landing a critical strike with a skill that deals lightning damage inflicts the shock status ailment.
Lightning damage is reduced by lightning resistance. Skills which deal or affect lightning damage have the "Lightning" gem tag. Some effects convert other types of damage into lightning.
