Is raw better than elemental MHW?

Neither raw nor elemental damage is universally better in Monster Hunter: World; it depends on the weapon type, the monster's specific elemental weaknesses, and the hitzones you're targeting, though fast-hitting weapons (like Dual Blades, Bow) excel with elemental damage, while slower weapons (like Great Sword, Hammer) often favor raw. Elemental damage adds flat damage per hit, making it great for quick attacks, but raw benefits more from high motion values (slow weapons) and can be better overall for weapons with lower hit frequency unless monster weaknesses are significant.

That's a lot of extra damage for just one hit!

Is elemental weapon a good spell?

Elemental Weapon is not a great spell, but it can have some use specifically if you give it to someone who can make better use of it.

Is raw damage or elemental damage better?

The TLDR explanation is that elemental damage doesn't scale with slow weapons, like GS, so it's typically better to go for full raw damage for them; weapons without an element will typically have better affinity and raw attack values, which means you're incentivized to build these over a specific element.

No, it isn't mandatory, but I very highly recommend it. Reason being - if the DLC was only the Fatalis fight and nothing else, I would still pay full price for it. But you also get basically the sequel to the game, and the new monsters are all very good.
