Electricity will only absorb the damage done to your shields, there-for boosting the damage of the next enemy to be shocked. It does not reduce or stop damage done to either shield or health. I'm not sure about the range, but yes it will proc the electric status. Or at-least it has a chance to do so. Cold, technically only boosts your resistance to damage, obviously by the armor buff you recieve. But it also give you a reflection buff, meaning enemies who shoot at you will not only take damage from their own shots (Granted it's not a very high number, even when you have high power strength) but they will almost always be put into a cold status, not to mention they have a chance of inflicting puncture and knock-back on themselves, there-for giving you even more defensive power.
