    * keep in mind that the build force to max out the dmg done with elements and critical hits. driftstones are flexible in armor spots but i recommand the number of ability perks. try to get attack boost at lagoon pukei head and critical eye at kulu greaves for sharing the ability between the five builds. ** i recommand to force the T4 critical eye with driftstones at the dragon long sword build to negate the -affinity = negate the chance to do reduced dmg per hit

    or other elements change the following ice weapon: legiana mail: barioth - T1 ice attack - stone with CE braces: barioth - T2 ice attack - stone with CE coil: legiana - T2 ice attack - stone with AB greaves: Kulu - T2 CE - stone with CE dragon weapon: deviljho (affinity --30%) mail: rath heart - T1 dragon attack - stone with CE braces: deviljho - T1 dragon attack - stone with CE coil: deviljho - T2 dragon attack - stone with CE greaves: rath heart - T1 dragon attack - stone with CE

    for other elements change the following fire weapon: rathalos mail: rath soul - T1 fire attack - stone with CE braces: anja - T2 fire attack - stone with CE coil: basarios - T2 fire attack - stone with AB greaves: Kulu - T2 CE - stone with CE thunder weapon: zinogre mail: kadachi - T1 thunder attack - stone with CE braces: zinogre - T2 thunder attack - stone with CE coil: kadachi - T2 thunder attack - stone with AB greaves: Kulu - T2 CE - stone with CE

    in summary we get lock on, water attack 5, critical eye 4, weakness exploit 2 and attack boost 3. it means we get a boost for 500 dmg on element, 60 raw dmg increase and 50% critical strike chance (30% from CE + 20% from weapon) with an increase about 25% to 75% critical strike chance on weak spots (lock on will help here!) for all other elements you can rebuild this with some light changes on mail (!), braces (!), coil (!) and greaves
