Thrown Glaive No Elemental Effects

[coolitic]

When I throw my glaive, it doesn't seem to freeze enemies or set them on fire. Is there a lower chance for thrown glaive or is this an actual bug? Also, it would be nice if the freeze particles on the glaive would be more visible since I can't see any.

 

EDIT: Seems it happens sometimes when the enemy is getting shot, like from my dethcube, maybe just the visual parts of the effect are not shown, still needs to be fixed though.

i am not sure but it might just be that one of the other damages(normal damage , armor pierce) strikes beforehand and kills the enemy before the element can inflict damage  ,since the damages in this game have an order in which they strike

you could confirm whether or not that is the case by using it on something that survives the glaive throw

I can confirm there is definitely something off about the glaive elemental damage mods. I don't think it's consistent and I'm not sure what the cause of the problem is when it does occur, but I did several runs on Xini where it did no additional elemental damage on my throws. I was hitting ancients for 325 damage, which is how much it would be with a maxed out killing blow mod (which it had) but without any elemental mods (which it did have -- all four types, in fact.) It also didn't seem to apply the visual effect of any of the elemental types to the enemies it was hitting, or slow them down from the ice damage or any of the other secondary effects one would normally see.
