Target Dummy Content

I found out that I am already happy in the target dummy room. No mechanics, no forced movement, no need to have a tank or healer, no need to use any cc, literally the tunneling dream.

I realized this could be great content for solo dps to do while they are bored. Maybe something like M+ but all the mobs are target dummies. Call it M-, and I think it could be so fun for practicing your damage in a target dummy M- setting. There can also be leaderboards for time and different levels scaling the target dummy HP exponentially, just for people who want to go full out tunnel mode and see how it goes. I don’t mind if there is not a single reward, besides the pure fun of doing it.

Imagine running through Everbloom or something but every mob is just target dummies. Ideally it wouldn’t take a lot of dev time (as there are 0 mechanics to design and implement and you could use existing assets for the whole thing), maybe just one dungeon forever, but it could be so cute as a mini-game.

So like, the mobs don’t fight back? Or are they just straight up static training dummies that you have to destroy?

Good question, the target dummies would be those cute ones that just stand there, there is a target dummy that fights back for tanks but he wouldn’t be part of this mode. It’s like a fun little target dummy dungeon.

Cool, they can go to nearly any capital city and just tunnel a target dummy whenever they want to since they already exist in the game.

When I was glancing through the topics, I thought this thread was titled : “Target Dummy Consent”

Like, oh boy, are the training dummies going to #metoo us

I do think it would be cool to do a dungeon with no incoming damage. Like obviously kinda silly so I don’t think it should offer rewards. But it would be cool to solo dps a dungeon and create pulls that result in the highest possible overall damage.

It would be funny if for healers they just made all the mobs friendly and put them at 1% health. And they still aggro to you so you can create a giant healing aoe pack, or something xd

Would that not make me the target dummy in that situation?

Nah because you will explode them, im just imagining them aggroing so you can move them around.

That’s a really cute idea I didn’t think of that. Could be fun to play around with full hps builds.
