Crafted target dummies vs trial dummies

Rageypoo

I wanted to get a crafted trial dummy, I love the clockwork ones and would love it if they made one from The Stonekeeper from frostvault, that would be an epic target dummy! My question though is about trials, I want to get one specifically to test situations in a trial setting, do these crafted dummies have a setting to turn on or off trial buffs? I don't want to invest too heavily only to find out they are different, their HP don't seem to match up with a trial dummy at all so if someone has knowledge about trial dummies would appreciate it!

Crafted trial dummies come without buffs. Otherwise exactly the same. If you are PC na then you can come visit my house as I have all 3 trial dummies, 3 million and 6 dummy along with clockwork one out

Note that the Precursor has very little health and half the resistances compared to the crafted and crown store dummies. He is cute and fun to test certain things on, but he isn’t comparable for parses.

The only trial dummies with debuffs/buffs are the 21m crown store ones that say “Trial” at the end of the name, like the Iron Atro, Harvester, and Reaper here:

One big caveat is that you cannot turn these buffs on or off. They are also at ZOS’s discretion and are not always updated in a timely manner when the buffs/debuffs are adjusted for us in content.

The trial dummies, which have trial in their name as pointed out above, are the only ones that have buffs and debuffs. These are the best ones to test out a rotation as they offer sustain that would be provided in an organized group. Otherwise, we would have less sustain of our resources and have to alter our rotation.

afaik, the buffs and debuffs cannot be turned on or off.

That's really a shame that trial dummies are only from the crown store, that actually makes me really sad. They could very easily have a toggle on a writ dummy to turn it into a trial dummy why do they do this >_<

its about money. as usual when it comes to the crown store.

the precursors from clockwork city can be done once per character and are a great dummy stand-in for z'maja's crystals on veteran
