Is there as point in making non elemental Artian weapons?

[Kraehe]

On regular weapons, whenever they don´t have any element or status its usually compensated through higher regular attack damage, sharpness or affinity. Doesn´t seem to be the case for Artian weapons though.
So I wonder if I´m missing something here or if there really is no point in making them elementless.

imo Blast is always better than no element

It's completely pointless... actually it's made on purpose so you try to match the same element on the 3 pieces to get the maximum gain possible.

It's more there so if you desperately wanted an artian weapon, but don't have three parts with the same element, you still can get one. And then you grind more to get the perfect one later on.

If your weapon of choice doesnt really care about elemental as much like GS and just want to stack raw attack ups or anything else. elemental would just be a bonus then.

What do you find fun? Big explosions? :o

Currently elemental damage is contributing negligible values even to bow and DB. If you can match 3 attack or 3 aff on something like GS there's really no reason to care about the elemental damage lol

[archonsod]

There's a niche for the point where a non-elemental Artian weapon will give you a benefit (damage or sharpness most likely) over the non-Artian weapons available to you at the time while you grind out more tempered hunts to get enough parts to craft the elemental version you want.

[Kraehe]

So TL;DR: No point in making non elemental artian weapons beyond "I wanna try this artian weapon but don´t have the right parts yet". Got it, thanks :)

Blast is horrible on Artian, it's better to use para.

No point in making a true raw artian weapon vs a status one, unless you want less RNG.

There is barely a point in making artian weapons, some weapons artians absolutely suck. I'll use a general use rarity 8 build and still get 5-8 minute hunts without trying. The artian weapons are a gimmick to try and keep player engagement, they are terribly structured.

The best possible artian weapon right now is 3x raw components with 5x raw rolls.

Adding an element to this dilutes the pool making the already very unlikely 5x raw rolls nearly impossible. If you somehow got an artian with 5x raw and an element it would be better as the element is just free stats at that point, but the chances of doing that are absolutely minute.
