Striking dummy =/= ingame parser, but it's probably the closest thing we're going to get. :/

it doesn't calculate, or add up DMG over time... just shows what everything else shows you.

That's why I said it's not an ingame parser. >_>

Did you perhaps quote the wrong person?

Agree :/
While with your dummy and time left when killed, you know what dps you have in an ideal situation, it fails to give a precise idea about how you're performing in real duties.

Still better than nothing, especially for console players

If you can't beat a dummy without movement and mechanics, then you probably aren't doing the required DPS for the said content in the first place.

This is off-topic.

I can beat AS1 dummy with my bard, but the class is such a mess for me (might just be my hotbars but anyway.. ) that I can't even perform reasonably in dungeons. I fail to reaply dots, forget about procs, forget totally about the new skills, etc. As soon as I have sth other than my hotbars to focus on, I hust can't do it.

... but I can beat AS1 dummy, so I must be doing well even in dungeons, amirite ? >_>

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.

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.

Some people just enjoy pushing their class to the absolute limits. I don't see what's irrelevant or wrong about that.
