Let’s discuss the new Trial Buff Dummy [spoiler] It’s too bloody big!

Seriously, it would be great if it only had 10-12 mil health. 21 is just too much considering it’s the new standard for solo parsing DPS.

Question for Raid Leads:
Why not allow duo burns with a partner? It’s the same theory as a complete group parse we’ve been doing on the mega dummy, no?

    I say no to changing to health.

    If you want a lower health one, then ZoS is better off making a lesser iron atronach for it. Don’t change the current one.
    Hey everyone! Look! It's a signature!

    I’d be fine with purchasing a lower health dummy if one was available with the same buff/debuffs.

    So the new target dummy is for solo parsing because the description in the crown store under furnishings is a bit confusing. It makes it sound like it is a group parse target dummy and not a solo parse with added buffs/debuffs. I agree 21mil is too much and an odd number for a target dummy when they could have made buff/debuff versions of the current ones.

    This dummy is down in about 3-4 minutes. Decreasing it's health would immensely decrease it's value, as it would become just another burn dummy. Though I would be ok with a lower health version of this for players who struggle with their rotation.

    You mean the 3 and 6 mio ones? Why? The 3 mio one was already dead in under a minute pre Elsweyr and even then it was considered a burn dummy. With all those buffs and debuffs it would be dead in about 30s so it would be even more of a joke. And the 6 mio one would be seen the same as the 3 mio one pre Elsweyr.

    In fights where u have bosses with over 100k health and some times u stop dpsing boss for adds, no, u dont need lower health. It is trial dummy. Trial. And as boring as it is, u need to know your sustain where every dd needs to pull a specific weight. I think the dummy health is perfect :3

    This dummy significantly raises your dps because of all these buffs, and if it had lower health, you could just burst it, just like a normal 3 mil one.
    In raids its important to be able to keep up your dps, so it makes sense that a trial dummy tests that.

    If you're low DPS then yes, it's a marathon. If you have good DPS the HP is about right.
