Why do unique weapons with lash don't show the effect?

[Skie Nightfall]

Unlike weapon you enchant with a lash that show the added elemental effect on the weapon.

Unique weapons like Hearth Harvest & Unforgiven, show nothing.

Good question, not sure. The prefabs (Hearth Harvest, certainly) do seem to contain the requisite lash visual FX assets. Maybe they are turned off by default for uniques / when pre-applied, and never turned on? For eg. Durance's staff that would make sense since that has a special lash animation.

I personally would like them to be on for all the prefabs.

Hmm... Now that I think about it, I remember from an older playthrough (1.06), that St. Guaram's Spark did show a shock effect.

I'll check that pistol in my current game when I can.

 

Edit: Yep, seems like some weapons do show the effect.
