Are we really getting a Dps parsing dummy?

[Niwashi]

The knowledge of how to maintain stacks, buffs, DoTs, and other systems doesn't magically disappear when you walk into a raid.

Well, some of it might, if things like dodging out of the way throws the player off their stride too much. It's why I like Kayote's suggestion:

Who knows. Maybe theyll get innovative and throw in an actual script for the dummy to toss out low damage AoE patterns to avoid.

So, learn to keep up your damage rotations while also having to maneuver, and get a score that shows both how effectively you could dodge and how good your DPS was while doing so.

Once a player can dodge while keeping up their DPS, they should be in a good position to be able to handle mechanics as well, so then it's just a matter of learning what the specific mechanics for a fight are.
