AOE Practice Test Simulation!

Inhuman003

Just like practice test dummies but it's AOE practice test like some of the dungeons that we all have done were you seen Shockwaves, firewaves, flame fires drop from the sky red circles expand and explode red dots on you and you have to watch out for your own so you won't die.also Frost aoe Ice aoe add to the table. This can be a self practice for you or a few your teammates to understand how to do a dungeon that you had difficulty with or be able to get the grip of dragonstar Arena a little bit better.

It can be a orb of some sort or a staff of some kind or a special diamond that will be AOE practice training simulation item.

Do you mean something like an obstacle course event where you have to avoid the red?
Or do you want to need to avoid attacks while dps-ing the target skeleton?

Either way, I think the best practice for this type of thing is to just do the dungeons.

Another great place for this is the atronachs in reaper's march, southern tip of the map. Shock tests your interupt and dodge roll reflex, ice tests footing and positioning, fire tests positioning and paying attention even after your target is dead.

I was there a while getting the reflexes ingrained for vMA, and it worked pretry well.

This is the problem we are holding players back that don't have a chance to actually train with Guild mates or friends to understand the mechanics and sometimes were doing what makes people that we can explain the situation at hand but sometimes things go south. I agree with you disagreeing with me I can understand that it is the best way to train with a good group of people in a dungeon to understand mechanics and techniques but they'll be days that sometimes you have to train on your own to understand.

Yeah sometimes you don't have a good group to train with. The problem is, you can't practice dungeon mechanics outside of the dungeon and I don't think creating a simulator is a good idea. For the simulator to be of any benefit it would have to be a copy of the fight you're training for.

What I would suggest is, training your skills as DocFrost72 says above and then watching the fights where people explain the mechanics.

Then when your friends are online you can practice the dungeons with a better base knowledge and skills.

I made a post like this last week and there was a similar suggestion made! Basically an AOE pool generated beneath you, dealing dmg if u want to heal yourself, or to avoid if just dealing dmg...
Personally I believe this would be a great addition to dummies as we could test various buffs and what effect that they have on self-heals, and DD skills.... and also how these buffs etc. work while wearing certain gear sets!

I agree there is the option to test in dungeons and delves etc. but I believe a practice dummy gives us the freedom to test (our own) skills without all the added chaos of other "stuff" randomly happening around us..

Thanks I was going to talk about a gladiator drill instructor for coliseums to teach you how to use your abilities by yelling at you. It be nice to be added in the crown store.

I agree; atronachs are great for learning the mechanics of the game (also Ogrim). When guild members/others ask, that's what I send them to (but usually into Craglorn).

Thanks again ZoS for the arena house is coming soon.
