For hammers, raw is more important than element, and Miralis weapons tend to have mediocre raw with ridiculously large element. I'd personally make the longsword or dual swords, since these weapons can dish out tons of elemental damage. If you're looking for a fire element hammer, the Rathalos path is a better choice.
