    SE requesting : update dummys level

    Why not update old dummsy?

    Since we had still 50lvl and 60lvl. As We have max level 70 and new dummy too 70lvl.

    Old dummyes came useless on house as we needed new dummy.
    If we want still use old dummys as we don't like new dummys.

    Would nice old dummys get update 50, 60 and 70 at 80lvl when shadowbringers come out.

    Why? Theyre immortal practice targets? Theyll intro a lvl 80 one and that will take care of that. Anything beyond that is cosmetic predominately.

    Exactly... Maybe I'd prefer to have a functional version of the old dummies in my yard. Yard space is already so limited, so it's hard to validate having a level 50 for looks and an additional level 70 for functionality.


    I'd say make them crafting recipes, but upgrade recipes (which they really haven't added any more of in awhile).

    For example,

    Oriental Striking Dummy Lv.60 would require:
    Oriental Striking Dummy Lv.50 + ____ + ____ + ... to craft

    Then Oriental Striking Dummy Lv.70 would require:
    Oriental Striking Dummy Lv.60 + ____ + ____ + ... to craft


    So those who do care about aesthetics can have the look they like at a level that is relevant to them.

    Useless how? To you perhaps but when I unlocked MCH I certainly needed a lv1 seeing as how I couldn't well use a 50-70.

    Perhaps the dummy should have a level sync option for players that intend to use it for combat practice. You can fight the dummy as normal at its default level, or the duty menu would have sync similar to levequests where you choose any many + or - levels you want. Granted it probably sounds like a unnecessary addition and may not happen but it gives life to lower level dummies.

    perhaps they should remove levels from dummies.

    that way any job at any level can practice without missing. doesnt make sense to me why they have levels anyway.

    That would probably be the simplest solution actually.

    Missing is the ultimate issue with levels, as that can effect combos/procs.

    So someone would have to explain why a lvl 60 is not a functional dummy vs a current max? Far as I have heard, dummies are used primarily for rotation and skill practice. So what does a max level dummy grand you that a lower level doesnt? Parsing?

    That was my guess too but regardless, it's a dummy lol. If you want to improve your dps parsing a level one dummy or a max lvl dummy doesn't matter. Because it's not about how much dps you do vs the dummy. It's about doing more dps than the last time you practiced. My level 1 dummy is best dummy

    This is what I came here to learn.

    Still kinda want OP to come back to explain how/why they think lower level dummies are useless.
