Is there a comprehensive list of what element is good to use against each creature? And is it worth it building different weapon sets with all the elemental damage and switch between them for different missions/regions??

I have noticed that plants (stalkers) and undead receive more damage from fire weapons and spells, with hellhounds receiving quadruple damage from fire. I have actually had a lot of success with a fiery axe of deathbane for undead infested regions, as well as part of FoW... So I wonder what other weapons I can invest in that would be worth using in some parts of Kryta.

I guess if you want, please try to post your own experience with elemental damage against different creature.

I'm fairly certain that Hellhounds do not take quadruple damage from fire. I've heard many people over-inflating the damage Hellhounds take from fire, and it's usually due to the fact that they either don't see the Hellhound using Frenzy or they have no clue what Frenzy does. Yes, Hellhounds use Frenzy liberally. It will skew your damage if you don't pay attention to it.

As far as elemental strengths and/or weaknesses of enemies, there is no comprehensive list as far as I know. However, I did some testing a long time ago which was posted in this thread. I never finished, though. Daegul Mistweaver seems to have picked up the testing after I stopped, and posted some of his findings in another thread.
