So obviously it doesn't show cleanly with the 9% on the equip (since that's not in my range)
32127 range (without Catalyze)
25960~30392 after pdr reduction
So that's a 192%~225% hit.
Divide by the 70% base rate on DS and it's 274~321% multiplier. The skill itself has a 280% multiplier, throw in the 30% catalyze and 9% weapon and you get 319% - just barely in range. There's no way any of them multiply together, or the 9% bonus would have made it too large.
So yeah, Dragon Slash I, II, III are +%total, as is Catalyze and the weapon. But only Catalyze shows up in the damage range.
I have no idea what % Dragon Slash uses in Final Form so can't help there.

2nd = exactly 1.3 times 1st
and then my fully buffed range
The difference is 39% vs. 41.7% total damage if they add/multiply, which is probably enough to show up on monsters if I'm careful.
58319 Dragon Slash
10% PDR minus 46% ignore PDR means 5.4% reduction in damage from PDR.32127 range (without Catalyze)
25960~30392 after pdr reduction

It's another 30% added to the Catalyze bonus though (for +60% of base range) It's a little low to be doing the 300%/hit the extractions suggest.
