Player target dummy

Would it be possible to release a target dummy with a stat line resembling common PVP player character types? So that we can experiment with ways of overcoming their defences in an environment in which we are not simply dying immediately and running back to the same slaughter. You can't really gather data or practice when the skill differences deny actual participation.
Molag's balls!

    Most people will probably tell you to duel with a friend on the PTS but I still think this is a reasonable request for an item.

    Give the user an option to toggle its starting resistances and perhaps what named buffs it has active.

    I think a human skeleton dummy with those stats would be great. I still want a target dummy that fights back though, I think that would be more useful for a 'would-be' tanks like me to practice on, and I guess it would give new meaning to the work 'dummy' if they did! Not sure if you tried the target dummy from the link below, and is the weakest (321.8K health) one available and it is free:

    Also, there are skeletal target dummies you can purchase from guild stores etc

    Best.

    The issue is defining what is a “common” PvP player. Not only will that differs between players but also changes with each patch.

    for me what i would see as an avg pvper would be 30-35k hp, resist caps, and probably 1500-2000 crit resist, and while you were engaged in combat with this dummy it would also apply battle spirit to you too

    the only other way is to make the target dummy configurable to set specific hp, armor, crit resist, and an auto healing amount (at a basic level just a certain heal per sec so its easier to code for the devs, or more complex heal per sec with a burst heal every 2 sec under 50% hp)

    i have my main house (grand topal hideaway) listed in the housing tours, it has multiple target dummies, scribing altar, and grandmaster stations (in progress being filled out), as well as almost every antiquity furnishing on display to preview them

    feel free to stop by and use the facilities

    Customizable dummy stats might be asking a bit much, but that would really solve any potential difficulties with a player-like dummy.
