Because in a real fight you would use them to buff your dps to be no food pot buffs equivelent dummy in theory because you will have to dodge aoes and do mechanics and all.

Thats why the dps required to kill the dummy is higher than the dps needed to kill the boss. They took that into consideration.

If you look at a typical A4S clear party on FFlogs each member has much less dps than their respective dummy would need.

It is different fight conditions and the dummy is only a gear and rotation check. Hence it has higher requirements in terms of raw damage.

Given that anyways in raid situation you will have food and potions why not include them in the dummy fight. At least it will help peope figure out how important they are.
