Thaumaturge crossbow skills visual bug + plasma blast crash

Purely visual/cosmetic, but I've experienced the same as this report, https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3849381, but also for the other skills, like galvanic shards and shockburst rounds. Unsure of the exact steps, but the visuals are inconsistent when weapon switching/triggering reload for skill in the other weapon set.

As for plasma blast, I've experienced CTDs thrice now after starting to use the thaumaturge gem MTXs. The only common points I've got so far (all skills with MTX equipped):
- Galvanic in set 1
- Plasma blast and shockburst in set 2
- With galvanic shard is loaded in set 1, shockburst in set 2
- Start encounter with set 1 active
- Reload/use plasma blast skill and start charging
- As soon as I start charging, the game locks up and crashes to desktop after 10ish seconds

After unequipping MTX for weapon in set 1, this hasn't happened since.

Edit: scratch that, just started getting crashes again without any clear reason.
