Why? There is no time requirement at full stamina, and you'll have a large window of opportunity to deal damage. With these new changes to Maximum Might, it's better to have it at Level 5 rather than Level 3 now.

Level 5: Activates and increases Affinity by 40 percent as soon as stamina is full.

Increases Affinity by 40 percent, lasts four seconds after stamina is used.

Level 4: Keep stamina full for five seconds to activate.

Increases Affinity by 30 percent, lasts three seconds after stamina is used.

Level 3: Keep stamina full for five seconds to activate.

Increases Affinity by 20 percent, lasts three seconds after stamina is used.

Level 2: Keep stamina full for five seconds to activate.Increases Affinity by 10 percent, lasts two seconds after stamina is used. Level 1: Keep stamina full for five seconds to activate.In World, it was a simple three-level skill that will increase your Affinity by 30 percent but only when your Stamina is full. Maximum Might is another powerful skill that is getting some changes.

The other part of the new skill does not exist before Iceborne, so we do not know the name of it.

Without the Free Element skill, you would only get the raw physical DPS of that weapon, as the elemental damage remains inaccessible. What Free Element does is draw out the hidden (grayed out) elemental damage that is found on some weapons. Right now, 'Free Element' is a skill that you can get by socketing the right Decorations into your gear. One of the properties is 'Free Element,' and the other increases the amount of elemental damage that you do as you continuously attack. There is also going to be a new skill added in Iceborne that combines two unique properties. Iceborne reduces this 10 percent buff to only five percent, so it's definitely not as enticing. And all you need was just one level two Decoration slot in your gear. Previously in World, the Non-Elemental Boost skill offers 10 percent physical damage increase on weapons with no elements (think of the Diablos line of weapons). If you still prefer to go with physical, non-elemental damage, then you'll be sad to see that this is getting nerfed to encourage experimentation with elemental damage. The Holy Sabers Dual Blades previously capped out at 160 Water damage from Level 3-5, but now it will be 220 at Level 3, then 230 for Level 4-5, and then 240 at Level 6. Now in Iceborne, it will max out at 500 at Level 6. The Legiana Rimespire Sword & Shield previously maxed out at 430 Ice damage at Level 5. Now, with Level 6, Fire Damage caps out at 320, which is a huge difference. And while it's still the same at the base and lower levels, you'll get bigger damage bonuses in the mid-range and higher.ДЇor example, the Corona Sword & Shield weapon has Fire element on it, and previously it would cap out at 230 Fire damage at Level 5. Iceborne has effectively raised it to six now. That is no longer the case with Iceborne.Д«efore, the arbitrary level cap on elemental damage was at five. Plus, each elemental weapon capped out at a certain point, so you could only benefit so much with elemental damage. Elemental damage, in contrast, works best against specific monsters who are weak to that element. Previously in World, it was much easier to go for physical damage over Elemental, because physical damage is strong against pretty much any monster.
