maybe its more clear this way: the switch axe has different sorts of coatings when in sword mode, some boost just your raw power, while others boost your elemental attack(like some lagiacrus SAs)

I'd like to see this also for other weapons, like greatswords that can boost up their element power instead their raw power while charging or duals that deal more elemental damage instead of physical.

this would boost element GS(like teostra del sol, kirin GS(forgot the name) and eternal eradicator) and would give some duals more attention, like eternal sacrifice/schisms, who are beaten by ultimus H&E just because of raw power.
