Best Armor Augments and Armor Recommendations

Boost Elemental Damage on Weak Points

The armor skill version of Element Exploit is different from the rampage skill. To avoid confusion, we'll refer to the rampage skill as Elembane, the name of its rampage decoration.

Element Exploit triggers on elemental hit zones of at least 20 rather than the minimum of 25 for Elembane. This makes it more useful than Elembane due to the fact that a hit zone of 20 is more common and allows it to be used against certain monsters such as Kushala Daora. Do note that because they are technically different skills, their effects will stack.
