So this game has dps checks but we can't talk about our dps in game?

So.... Blue Mage solo trials?

Actually, yes. Something like the Masked Carnival but aimed at specific roles is exactly what I was thinking of. Have several for tanks, several for healers, etc. Then people can run those solo as often as they want for as long as they want, and practice in a more useful manner than just beating up a training dummy.
