Combat training dummy

Athelas

I don't know about other players, but I often find myself in a situation where I need to test something like an alias/combo, but can't do it without dragging someone into the arena.

Is it possible for us to get something like a training dummy, possibly at city/org barracks?

It doesn't have to react to anything, all it has to do is to allow one to use attacks on it, that would normally only work no adventurers.

Ashura already have one, and have had for as long as I can remember (10 RL years?) Doesn't work for all attacks, but does for targeted limb attacks

Athelas

Excellent, so it is possible!

Rispok

There are even public ones, in the Sangre oddly enough.

Kresslack

Public ones and a lot of Houses have them I believe.

A dummy for Targossas. I need it badly. I log on off peak hours, and I do not what to bug people with my bad combat skills.

Now that they've got serverside maybe they can make something that does cure, but I'm not really fond of something that decreases interaction with other players, even if it doesn't cure to test if your combos work. You could take someone to the arena and test etc.

I'd love to see practice dummies that you could afflict and then watch them cure. While I agree with you that player interaction is important. It can be difficult sometimes to get someone to stand in an arena with you and let you test things.

Dummy with adjustable maxhealth and breakable limbs, please.

Rohai

It would also be really cool if it had a randomization setting, so every now and then you could reset it to practice adjusting for different health levels.

Rohai

Just realized how easy it would be to just create an alias that would randomize it for you if maxhp is manually adjustable. I was very tired when I posted that, haha.

Talk to your city or house leaders in game. This is something easily done through the patron request system.
