Haha too bad this one fights back

Shazgob · June 2016

Meh, hopefully it takes them as long to fix this as it does most things, might actually have a mildly usable test dummy >.>

Ooooh new content! The Elder Scrolls Online, Tamriel Unlimited: Ninglenel's Revenge!

First... they took his tree house. Then... they dared to eat a salad in front of him. Forced to live out his days in the barren hills of Rivenspire being kicked and mocked all day until one day he was pushed... too... far.

I never thought that I'd be so happy to hear about a wood elf!

So he fights back now hmmm... I bet that's in order to test your heavy armor builds yall!

They way it should be,what's the point of just smacking a target without having to deal actual combat.shadowboxing only takes you so far.

Having a dummy that fights back completely defeats the purpose of a dps test.

If you want to test your effective combat proficiency, use a dummy that fights back. If you want to test your total potential damage output, you want to remove as many variables as possible.

@Mojmir what's the point? do you even ninglenel bruh?

The point, and the ONLY point, is you could go test dps solo whenever you wanted on Ninglenel. No need to get a healer and tank to help. guh guh

lol some bossfights are destined to be buggy and glitchy.

iam117 · June 2016

legit, i approve this message.

Roselle · June 2016

I just was messing around with this fight since it's the normal pledge today. I was also experiencing this and I went to great lengths to see if I could get credit for killing Quintus.

Nothing worked. I even killed the Gargoyle first after I got it off the platform... Quintus is like a town guard atm.

This requieres an emergency hotfix of 10 hours during prime time!

Amiliana · June 2016

sirrmattus · June 2016

Get you a tank

kadar · June 2016

YES! Thanks ZOS for listening to us and bringing back the DPS dummy. Seriously, the community is thankful.

Exactly my point,it's a controlled situation, not a real fight.bosses have higher resists, mechanics you need to avoid,debuffs,then you have your group buffs,synergies.you gonna bring your group there to to test those on the dummy?

idk, we constantly go into spindle clutch with just a templar healtank and single dps, and test over and over and over, its not terribly hard to make a friend to go do it, having a un-killable test that can be done for any amount of time, even if it has to be tanked is not a bad thing. its also not hard to buddy up and do it.

I think it can be a GREAT idea if we have both options, fight back and don't fight back. So if you want to check your dps you use the "don't fight back" option, and if you want to check other things, like your armor, your abilities in combat, or other things, you use the "fight back" option.

ZOS please add this.

Mojmir · June 2016

What would be cool is a dps dummy we could tailor too our needs,like an instance arena where we could have sliders settings and pick a mob/boss punching bag that put up a fight.but that would be too much work.
