[Suggestion] Implement Practice / Test Dummy

[Culexies]

I like dummies! Even if they were just for the sake of practicing positioning for combos. You could put 3 in every guild (give us a reason to go to them), unless the map won't allow for it. Or just make a new area outside all the cities with the dummies.

i think it could be useful, testing there your macros and dmg rotation could help a lot, so when you go out with a pty you know your thing.

well i dont see the harm of getting these dummies, and i know most of the dummy haters will gather around it once implemented.

This could be a nice opportunity to use the guilds. The gladiator's guild has dummys that npcs practice on:

The archers guild has targets, there was that lalafell practicing on dummys in the pug guild, etc... Perhaps each disciple can "practice" in their respective guilds once they join it. I think it's ok to have limited spots and have them in the front area of the guild. It makes the guild a much more lively and interactive area, rather than having this be an instance in the back but you can utilize rooms in the back if you wish to practice with a party/linkshell. When you begin practicing you can choose a level the dummy is at if you wish to test dps and whatnot.

Further, perhaps as a high level guild quest reward you can get one for your personal housing or guild housing.

I'd like it so I wouldn't have to look at everybody training on a doll inside town, make it instanced so you don't have people shouting, "Oh wowee! I just did XXXX damage to this doll, lol!" I think of the hostels from final fantasy XI set up, you walk in, ask a host/hostess what kind of monster you'd like to kill, what setting you'd like, and how aggressive you want your foe to be.
Personally, I'd have 40 hyur not attacking, but facing a destroyed wall from some ancient ruins in the middle of the desert. I'd like to practice when Elezen take over the world.
