With nature of MXL which have sometimes loooooot of hits per second - it would be just an endless numbers spam. I think Wulf idea is the most vable. But again, it's not really needed since you can test your damage on existed bosses. Like i'm seeing how fast i kill Gris to see how fast i can kill Butcher and if i have enough dps (once i hit 105) and so on.

Fair point.Maybe it's not such a good idea after all.

What's wrong with the old fashion way of: Face the enemy and hit it... if you kill means that ur dmg is enought... if u don't just come back, get better gear and try again until you be able to kill it o/

I believe the idea was to obtain a defined value, one that can be store, compared, etc... In quite a few cases having those numbers will help you knowing what's best, even more if the difference isn't that noticeable (but isn't playing mxl about optimization?)

That kind of dummy would be pretty cool to have on certain situations. Like before the Samael fight. Same hp and resistances/regen values. Just to see if your dps stand any chance against him, without attacks to dodge. Wasting cube reagents to him on a crafted build with good survivability just to realize damage is irrelevant.

I have always hated these number-thingies. If you get killed you lack in some form of def, if you can't kill mobs or boss you need more dmg or other strategy. You don't need numbers for that.

I would love a training dummy of some sort. I used to use Azmodan as a training dummy but it becomes less ideal when you are at the end game and you kill him very fast, making it hard to compare upgrades.
