I failed on my first attempt on the new striking dummy

[Reinha]

Beat AS4 dummy as AST with a 210 weapon and armor, 200 belt and 190 (185 ring) accessories. 201 average. I had to upgrade my weapon to 210 before I could beat AS3 dummy so your weapon does make a huge difference. I'm really surprised to find that AST is not the lowest of healer requirements, but SCH is! Chart from another thread.

I'm having quite a lot of fun passing these tests. If only it was closer to Novice Hall in terms of mechanics. Gonna take up SMN next. Update: AS3 done as SMN with 197 (200 weapon and 210 armor). AS4 dummy required a weapon upgrade to 210, bringing the average up to 199. I find the dps test a bit harder than the healer test although it could just be the crappy accessories.
