Bug type: Skill

Brief bug summary: Shotgun punch damage lowered with Decent Combat orders

More details:

Decent Combat Orders (DCO) adds +1 too all 4th job skills, and the main reason why I wanted DCO on my Blaster was because of what it does to Combo Training II WITH DCO, WITHOUT DCO and wanted to confirm if that was an actually +10% final damage increase and I end up finding a disgusting bug on shotgun punch (4th job skill).

I did two damage tests, one with decent combat orders and without on a 75% DEF Straw Dummy

These are the results:

Without Decent Combat Orders

With Decent Combat Orders

Note: Echo was used 4 seconds before the end of the DCO DPM test.

So for whatever reason I end up with a -5.4% decrease in accumulated damage on shotgun punch (4th job skill) but a 9.8% increase in accumulated damage on revolving cannon(1st job skill).

I did the same 2 tests using the no reload technique which incorporates Magnum Punch (1st job skill), Revolving Cannon (1st job skill) and Double Blast (2nd Job skill).

These are the results:

Without Decent Combat Orders

With Decent Combat Orders

Note: Same damage buffs were used for the 2 above tests.

On every test besides the Shotgun punch, everything goes up by roughly 11%~14%, 10% from the boost extra 1% per combat training II stack and the remaining from everything else decent combat orders increases. Shotgun Punch on the other hand has a 36% decrease in min damage while still receiving a 8.9%~ damage boost in max damage, this ultimately resulted in overall damage loss of 1.2% in the 11 second test.

An 11.62% damage increase can been seen from using DCO which confirms that something is wrong with Shotgun Punch when DCO is involved.
