Steps:
1. According to "Freshly Picked Vana'diel #53", the "Dragon Blow" weapon skill was said to be just like "Howling Fist", but with the Distortion property and its power increased. As a result, I chose the "Dragon Fangs" as my reward for winning Rank 1 in the Mog Bonanza.
2. However, upon testing "Dragon Blow" on various monsters, primarily Apex Toads, its damage underperformed very noticeably compared to "Howling Fist".
3. With further testing, I realized that the damage adjustment of "Dragon Blow" only applies to the first hit of the weapon skill.
4. This continues to be the case despite tests under various different circumstances, such as wearing different equipment or while using powerful beneficial status effects like bard songs and Phantom Roll.
4. This is unlike almost every other hand-to-hand weapon skill and severely limits the overall "Dragon Blow" damage potential, making it a worse choice than even "Howling Fist" while using the Dragon Fangs, despite the claims in "Freshly Picked Vana'diel #53".
5. Since this is a very special and unique weapon skill tied to an extremely rare weapon only available through Mog Bonanza, I would like to request an investigation whether this weapon skill is performing as intended or if the damage adjustment is incorrectly applied.
