    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.
