[Suggestion] Implement Practice / Test Dummy

[Nakiamiie]

Being able to practice your battle actions, combos, etc. on dummies would indeed be very useful!

Definitely a want. We see all these training grounds in the guilds yet we can't practice on them. Also, would be much easier to test combo and macros on.

It can wait for 2.0 though, no hurry.
I prefer it slow and awesome than fast and cumbersome.

Ah ... Jolly Ol' Spekkio, how I have missed thee. I would not mind having access to such a trainer again. Or a Ma'at type of trainer too.

Please just not 1 dummy though, have something like this:

L30 Dummy
L40 Dummy
L50 Dummy
L60 Dummy
L60 "High" Dummy (boss defensive stats)

This way we can measure gear changes and which is better for which scenario

Except that...

The L30 Dummy doesnt have same: stats/resistances/bonuses/debuffs/buffs as L30 mob thus providing an inaccurate representation of how good the gear (only gear with damage increase as dummys dont hit you back or do magic) or how good a weapon is.

The L40 Dummy doesnt have same: stats/resistances/bonuses/debuffs/buffs as L40 mob thus providing an inaccurate representation of how good the gear (only gear with damage increase as dummys dont hit you back or do magic) or how good a weapon is.

Not to mention all would be hugely inaccurate to what every Notorious Monster and Primal do.

So I think people are missing things and just want it implemented without realizing its possible purpose is very difficult and like most games (swtor....aion....) it just boils down to 2 uses: 1. Quests on dummys, 2. Seeing how fancy your new skill looks.

Maybe we can have it where you have to find/earn the parts to your test dummy...make them tradeable and buyable....kinda like how mannequin parts were in XI...just a thought, also this way of have having to earn them the people who are not interested in getting 1 are not affected or involced in anyway...

[Scherwiz]

Only if it is useful to figuring out damage output and accuracy relative to all levels of gameplay.

[Xahjk]

I think this is a good idea +1
they could just allow you to change the stats to whatever you want, then all we would need is a scan ability to find out the stats of the mob you are interested in preforming dps on.

[zaviermhigo]

+1 for this idea. Want one in my house.
