@akl77 There are several overland world bosses that mimic trial boss scenarios and mechanics, albeit not with the same severity, but you can definitely test out your tank build with them...and you can use different ones for different mechanics. If you're interested, message me and I can tell you a few spots.
When I was testing my tank I went and played with the bosses in Wrothgar.
Sometimes just for fun I'll take my healer out and try to keep all the dragon hunters alive.

Why go wrothgar to find the boss to practice when I can buy the boss dummy and put it in my house for practice, same idea.
Just like why go spindle 2 to do dps test when you can buy a dps target dummy.
If you find the need to practice and test your build, there is the need for a dummy.
I watched videos and websites on how to main tank vss, I waited for an opportunity to pug it so I can test it for my tank, when the pug falls apart and all left except two people, I got a chance to test my tank wth the dragon boss and get confident on how to deal with the dragon shout instead of getting one shot.
I’m not wanting to take my guilds or friends to wipe and waste their time , not to mention it’s embarrassing.
Hence I see the need for a boss dummy to test instead of waiting everyday in Craglorn hoping there’s a vss pug I can main tank on.
So far none of the suggestions helped so far, I still would like a target dummy.

Having a dummy that would measure your ability to heal or withstand attacks could benefit players - especially those who are trying to prepare their characters for dungeons (since the landscape does such a poor job at it).
Though I believe training courses players could participate in where they are matched with NPC group members would probably be more effective. So I would favor that approach.

I would love for Zos to provide a tanking and healing dummy. The threads would be entertaining.
I did all this testing of gear and found the best gear but got kicked from this elitist raid team because I would not wear Ebon, etc.
The other thread we would see is I practiced on the test dummy so I know my tanking/healing in vSS was not the cause of the wipe. LOL
It would be a waste of money and merely Zos taking advantage of the ill informed.

Same goes for the dps that said they had 50k on 3m dummy yet keeps dying, it’s the same thing, yet dps has multiple dummies.
Also, I pug a lot, in both trials and dungeons, the amount of bad tanks that cannot survive boss in dlc dungeons and trial bosses can be avoided if they get a chance to get their practice in to get the basics right, which is survival, a dead tank is fake tank that cannot tank on boss for the group.
After getting all the basics down you can talk about optimising for the group and decent organised raid is just beyond those basics. And I’m not talking about those.
Just like the dps tryna cheese the dummy with sets that they shouldn’t be using in trials.

I tested my tank on a trial boss. I think it was the possessed mantikora. While ebon is nice, sometimes it's not needed. Most players seem to be self buffing to decent health now. Ebon can be hard to get used to for a beginner tank, even one who is an experienced dps/healer in the harder stuff.

Ebon is a good set for any tank. The stats are good and in competitive raid groups they expect it and the raid leader will ask for it.

Exactly. OP thinks it will help him prepare to survive dragons breath in vSS when it would do nothing of the kind. If someone said they lasted X seconds on a tank dummy without heals any knowledgeable raid lead would not care because it is meaningless information.

And what happens if I want to compare my Dk to nb tank? I cannot recreate the same group with same amount of performance they put out in order to get me the accurate comparison.
This.The DPS dummy only helps a dps practice their rotation and hone it but does nothing to help them develop actual skill dealing with mechanics. There is no rotation for tanks as the only real rotation is taunting every 15 seconds. So if you want experience that will help you develop skill you will get actual experience in trials.
And this.I wouldn’t be interested as a healer. Healing isn’t really about HPS

That argument doesn’t work, cos no one dies in vet dungeons doesn’t mean the healer is capable of healing debuffs in vcr, vss, vhof, vet dlc. I’ve seen a lot, you can queue up a dlc dungeon and see the healer fail at it.
