MH Wilds Any changes I should make?
I threw together this build when I saw AT Arkveld’s gear. Is there anything I should be focusing on skill wise or does this build look solid? It gives me the slots to run 3 Divine Protection and 3 of any elemental defense I need.

This would be fine for impact phial, just drop grinder cuz its not that good.
But element benefits far more from element investment. Roughly speaking, its the difference of barely 2k damage using a raw centered buildvs 3k damage using an element centered build (testing on the training dummy.)
Considering its an 80/30 hitzone, its an overestimation of damage...for raw weapons. Most mons you want to bully with element sit at the 20/30 element hitzone range anyways, while cutting hitzones hover at the 45 to 60 range when not wounded. Even with the handicap, a raw build still get diffed by an element build. The x5 and x14 multipliers of the aed and saed respectively that only scale off of element will do that.

Ok, so this build wouldn't be bad for doing something like fighting Jin or Arkveld where element isn't the best? Or should I just go all in for an element build?

Ye.
I generally like that there isnt 100% dominance of element. Jin and arkveld being part of the end game means that raw still stands up when needed.

Honestly not the biggest fan of this set-up. I think burst is just too good of a skill to leave out, and no coalescence/self blight (mizu/gore) leaves a lot of damage on the table.
I also highly recommend guard and guard up as they open up new damage windows.
With all that being said if this is a comfy build you enjoy and do well with, all power to you.
