Palace dummy for rotation testing

In palace most players are going in there with classes they've never played before so it would help a great deal if I can show them how to use their class on a dummy within palace

That's what the Training Hall (or whatever it's called) is for.

Yah because thats what the other 2 people in your group wants to do, sit around and watch you teach someone how to play. No thanks.

You're aware you can go in with anywhere between 1-4 people right?

Requiring a floor 50 clear with that particular job might be a middle-road suggestion to what you're wanting, or perhaps a SSS type instance (where your character is set to level 60) would work.

Putting dummies in Palace floors themselves brings up some issues:

1. Patrolling mobs. Most dummies are placed in secluded or safe-ish areas where you won't be distracted.
2. Trying to make use of the dummies within matched parties, as pointed out before. Unless the 2 others are willing to help or sit through it, this would likely just annoy them.
3. You're given 60 minutes to clear each set of floors. Eating up part of that with a rotation lesson isn't ideal.

That just a bloat feature.

Seeing how PotD has a time limit, I really see it being counter productive to the completion of the duty to have training dummies inside. Also a person new to a job will likely be learning 2 new actions every single floor of the run, and you can't train them on how to use skills they don't have at the start of the run, nor would it be sensible to have a dummy on every single floor of PotD 1-50. The way it works now is hopefully people read tooltips as they learn skills, and move them into a sensible spot on their hotbars. Dummies should be used in between PotD runs if people truly care to adequately familiarize themselves with skills, assuming they don't catch on quickly during the run.

Or stay with me here I know this sounds crazy but they could read their skills when they unlock them. (They don't need to know how to play their classes to the maximum potential to clear potd.)

Just add parse to all dummies.
