So I have this axe: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/TheMadHatta-1511/hero/4679921 Its my main hand weapon.

And I love the particle effects that elemental and specific affixes give to weapons in this game. I can only think of the normal elemental ones that I've seen, and then one given for chance to bleed or LoH, not sure which.

The weird thing is this one has no elemental effects and just normal stats I've seen on weapons before, nothing I haven't used before, but none of those weapons had this glow/particle effect.

Can someone explain why my weapon has this cyan colored, plasma like, tendril looking visual effect to it? Here's how it looks like:

I'm always changing my abilities around several times between changing each piece of gear so I'm pretty sure it is the weapon itself.

Do any of your skills or passives add a weapon glow effect? You could try swapping all your skills out. – Wikwocket Sep 18 '12 at 2:26
Your character is wielding a two-hander, but the character in the image is dual-wielding. What's up with that? – Bora Oct 5 '12 at 18:53
Old glitch that has been patched, currently wielding a rare 2 hander in my main hand and a legendary/skorn in my off hand. – Beau Carrillo Oct 6 '12 at 23:21

Voting to close as the OP never included the details of the weapon in question, and instead linked to their profile, which no longer includes the weapon in question. Without being able to see details of what weapon was being used at the time this question was asked, it cannot reasonably be answered. – Beofett Jan 23 at 14:06

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, see the FAQ.

From Patch 1.0.4 – v.1.0.4.11327 (August 21, 2012)

  • Legendary Items

    • Significant changes have been made to Legendary items:

      • Custom proc effects have been added to over 50 Legendary items and Set item bonuses

I guess this was one of those items that got an effect

The OP did not include the actual details of his weapon in the post, other than a link to his profile, which is unfortunate because he has changed weapons since then. However, I do recall that the weapon he had was not a legendary, but rather a rare axe. – Beofett Jan 23 at 14:04
