Okay I plunked down the 500k credits for the training dummy but for the life of me I can't figure out how to use it. Is there a way to track dps to adjust rotations? I'm missing something here and I need a little nudge in the right direction? Please, if you know how to effectively use the training dummy let me know.

Im told there is some kind of adon you need to use, but deciding im going to try and do without anything not supplied ingame for as long as i can i dont know what it is.

 

Good luck

you attack it, and thats it. Officially there is nothing else that the dummies do, and is a complete waste of money.

Yikes! okay well thanks. maybe someday they will make it useful.

What you need to do is start a combat log and use a combat log parser.

 

Here's a guide with a list of those currently available.

 

Combat Log Round-Up & Instructions

I too was surprised that the dummies do nothing - not even provide a report of the damage you did.

 

However, you can, as mentioned, use them to perfect/ practice your skill rotations.

If you turn on combat logging, you can use various combat log parsers as mentioned by BravenIrish above to check your own DPS and get more information about your own rotations and skills.
