It tests whether you are able to pass the minimum dps requirements of a given fight. You don't need to see a number to know that you're doing good enough. As long as you are able to clear the dummy, you know you're performing acceptably.





If you think a striking dummy that basically just says, "Yay! YOU WIN!" without providing further information would be just as useful as knowing the actual DPS you're putting out on a mob with, y'know, mechanics to perform and dodge, I'm not really sure what to tell you. I mean, the dummy is going to tell me I pass whether I pass the DPS check by 5 or 500. The dummy can't tell me whether or not changes to my rotation improve my DPS unless I was failing the DPS check to begin with, but knowing the actual DPS number can. Knowing the actual number is much more informative when it comes to knowing what works and what doesn't.
Some people just enjoy pushing their class to the absolute limits. I don't see what's irrelevant or wrong about that.Wait, so, like, why do you even need to to know your numbers. If anyone can give me a logical reason that isn't related to inflating their personal ego I'll sign the petition. If the SSS trial which has the DPS check in it exists, if you beat it then you are doing sufficient damage. If you fail it you are not. The exact number is irrelevant. Other's numbers are irrelevant.
