Validous

The Trojan can inflict Shock when it is using it's Attack Buff move, and I find this out of place.

A common place to find trojans is in the Firestorm Citadel. A well-equipped player would bring almost pure Fire resistance, because the entire area is based around fire. This, however, leaves them extremely prone to the Trojan's shock. This simply is unfair compared to other boss strata. There are no monsters in any other boss stratum that inflict a status not pertaining to that stratum, other than Stun. Thus, I am asking for the removal of the Shock aspect of the Trojan's Attack Buff.

I think the shock status is to simulate the shock you would get after getting hit by a very huge tremor.

Also, trojans are one of the last monsters to be somewhat afraid of. Don't want to nerf that.

so you are saying...

That you want only one kind of armor to be viable in FSC and that FSC should dictate the balance of the game, because trojans exist nowhere else?

eyes trying to see the end to another end

aaaand let's put some status effect on "Shadow of the Beast", after all, nothing that can cause any negative effect on this level, beyond the stun from Lumber

its like Lumber:
all of them can deal stun, but some types of lumber mix stun with other status (the ice type can be more annoying, because you can stay frozen to death, if get hit)
Trojan is not affected by any Stratum, can receive any status effect (except curse), and he is a mini-Boss of the fiends
Seriously, have a few things worth the challenge... and Trojans is not problematic because of this buff attack causes shock, but when he only attack if his target stop (by shock, by ice, trying strike something...), coming with a Dash or with his sword

I think Stun would be more

I think Stun would be more fitting than Shock, as it already deals Stun, and a very large tremor would probably knock you off your feet, effectively stunning you.
FSC was an example. The main point is, Trojans are clearly not a Shock based monster, yet can deal Shock. The only other monster I can think of with something like this is the Rocket Puppy.
At the very least the Shock needs to be replaced with Stun. It would be more consistent with other non-status monsters and also more consistent with itself, as it already deals Stun.

Actually their power comes

Actually their power comes from the crystal in their back. Crystals/Minerals are known to be surging with power and deal shock.
Just look at the tortodrone, and Ionized Salt Bomb.

A bit unrelate, but Arkus is based on shock too...
