What you should know about Training Dummies in Where Winds Meet

All Training dummy types explained

1 - Timed boss dummy

This dummy runs for a fixed duration. It’s best used when you want to:

• Measure burst DPS windows
• Compare short rotations
• Test cooldown alignment

Once time expires, the session ends automatically and your damage report is generated.

2 - Fixed-HP boss dummy

This version has a set health pool and does not expire by time. It’s ideal if you want to:

• Test sustained damage
• Compare builds over long fights
• Evaluate efficiency per skill rotation

The dummy ends when its HP reaches zero.

3 - Free boss dummy

The most flexible option, this dummy behaves closest to a real boss encounter. You can:

• Apply buffs and debuffs
• Adjust combat parameters
• Simulate realistic boss conditions

This is the best choice for final build testing before real encounters.

Step 4: Start combat and test rotations

Use your full skill rotation naturally. This is where you can test hybrid builds, cooldown flow, and synergy between abilities.

Step 5: Review the damage breakdown

After the session, review the detailed damage report. You can see exactly how much damage each skill, passive, and effect contributed.

Step 6: Reset or adjust

Why the training dummy matters for build optimization

The training dummy isn’t just for raw DPS numbers. It helps you understand:

• Which skills are underperforming
• Whether passive effects like bleed or burn scale properly
• How changes in rotation impact total output
• If hybrid or experimental builds are worth using

Because the breakdown is granular, you can pinpoint exactly where your damage comes from and adjust accordingly.

Using the training dummy effectively

The Training Dummy in Where Winds Meet is one of the most useful tools for serious combat improvement. By testing rotations, simulating boss conditions, and analyzing detailed damage data, you can refine your build with confidence before stepping into real fights.
