Do these dummies have different resistances?

Well, sustain is often better in actual fights as they are usually significantly shorter or have damage pauses that can be used to fill up resources again.

The trial dummy is only good for parsing, wait for it, trial rotations. The buffs/debuffs do not not reflect any other game situation.
So if you aren't running trials with a somewhat serious group, those numbers mean nothing to you or your build.
There's 3 basic categories when it comes to training (yes, that's really what they are) dummies.
- Use the 3/6 mil *solo* (and by solo i mean just you with nobody else around) to measure your solo dps in an environment where you don't have to deal with any mechanics like blocking/dodging/healing/shielding/moving out of red etc. Use this to practice your rotation.
- Use the 3/6 mil in a group and have your group mates apply buffs/debuffs to measure your group dps. Environmental restrictions are the same as above
- Use the raid dummy to measure your trial dps. Environmental restrictions are the same as above
Those parses are not interchangeable. A trial parse gives little information about how you are going to perform solo and vice versa.
And finally, if you really want to know if your build is going to work in-game, you have to run actual content.
For solo, solo some dungeons and see how it goes. For group, run some dungeons with a group and see how it goes. For trial, run some trials with a group and see how it goes.
The dummies will only get you so far, the real test will be where you have to pay attention to your environment and your (hopefully perfect by now) rotation needs to be substituted with blocking/dodging/healing/shielding/moving out of red ...

While all of that is undoubtedly true... come on man, let's be real! I can't even remember the last time I saw a streamer or even some random guy on the forums quote a parse that WASN'T obtained with the Iron Atro. Nobody wants to mention an honest 60K parse when everyone is throwing around 90K parses as the bare minimum.
It seems really funny to me that DPS has been inflated by 50% overnight, because there was a time when forum know-it-alls would SCOLD you just for using Lover mundus or something like that, LOL. Doesn't it seem strange that no one is complaining about the Iron Atro? I was sure when it came out that there would be uproar on the forums, calling it "pay-2-parse" or whatever, but until this thread, there hasn't been a peep. I guess everyone likes big numbers!

As long as you don't join my 4 player dungeon group claiming that you can actually pull 100k all by yourself.Mostly because Iron Atro works very well when you actually want to compare something. It puts everyone under exact same conditions. You don't need to argue about self-applied/healer applied ele drain, penetration numbers and so on. Everyone is able to parse under the most optimal conditons.

For myself I’m doing 45k on a 6mill self buffed and 65k on a 21mill, it’s more a 20k more for me lol
