Also, it might be another way for them to test encounters like they do on the PTR

NPCs are friggin’ stupid. They can’t even fix pet AI to keep them out of the fire.

Well, not quite what I had in mind, but.. interesting concept… but I wonder… even if Blizzard could afford the resources would they…

Would they allow you 24/7 access to a training room so you could one-shot the boss on your 1st attempt?

I probably should sit in front of training dummies for a night or two after changing my key bindings…

Maybe even after changing toons…

Likewise a good idea… watching someone go through their paces in a controlled fashion would make the dummies worthwhile.

I see them, but more often than not I am squinting trying to work out what abilities just got used…

But you are right… best way to learn stupid mage tricks is to do stupid mage tricks… question is where…
