    1) You destroyed the training dummy of a primal or Savage in the Hinterlands. Got achievement "Yes, you did it".
    Does an ability to kill training dummy without any mechanics mean, that he will still have good dps while doing mechanics? No, not at all. So we are kind of still there

    It means at least, that the player knows how to smash the buttons and knows the rotations. It is a good measure and it shows, that a player is not a total potato. So you are wrong. OF course in the battle dps will differ, but still

    In my clan I have a player, who push almost all the skills by mouse on the screen (dragoon main). Im sure you can imagine his dps. He was unable to destroy the Savage 6 dummy for a VEEEERY looong time

    So, once again. The dummy destruction doesnt show, that a player is a super monster, but at least shows, that he knows what to do by his class and he is not a potato

    I'd say it's infinitely more likely that they'll do good dps than someone who can't do good enough dps even without any mechanics.

    You're right that it doesn't, but at least its one less thing that anyone would have to worry about.

    If a person can't get the required damage in a controlled environment, then I definitely cannot instill any trust in you that you'd be able to put out good damage while dealing with mechanics.

    But if you can at least get the damage on the training dummy, then I would feel like I can take the chance that you'd be able to do with mechanics once you learn them.
