I am just throwing out an idea here, but here goes. You know how you can buy crown henchmen? Well how about crown practice dummies? I know what you're thinking, what's the differnence from fighting a boss, or a pvp matches. Well you all know how long it can take for a pvp match to start up a match, plus you get to decide what you're up against and they can't quit last minute. The differnce from a boss is that they won't surprise you with out of schools spells and they are easier to practice with. I know it has a few quirks so help me out and add to it instead of criticizing. Thanks! :-D
P.S this is like my second post ever

i just read this post while surfing through and i think AWESOME IDEA!!!!!!!!!
because sometimes you may just want to try out a new spell or strategy or something without risking anything or taking forever; however the mfp cl observatory and new sultans palace (!!!!!!!!!! best house ever!!!!!) can kinda do that but i still think good idea but they would have to be for gold or else they would never get used.

Morgrim IceTalon, legendary pyromancer :D
(and a few alts lol)

p.s. kind of a run on sentence

4 months without a reply, huh? well, i think your original was posted before i ever got on the message boards, so here it goes- i like the idea. it would be cool also to use this for testing out spells and whatnot. i'm guessing you're suggesting that it would it be like fighting one of the henchmen you can hire, so that would be cool to fight. i don't see any negatives to this idea, in any case. -eli and crew

I think you should head to the practice arenas for a while.
I explained the difference, so if you would read it, that might help. Thanks everyone!

Ya :) would be cool if stats were variable, meaning you could set the resist, for example to the common gear of any wizard and know exactly what combos can kill. Not a bad idea at all.

@ezrajoseph,

I love you idea! It would certainly be nice to use my private PvP circle whenever I like, instead of waiting for someone to be online and in the mood to practice.

One addition, I would like to be able to set the conditions of the battle, level of spells, power pip rate, etc. It would be cool to choose a challenge in this way.
The medieval knights had practice dummies, why shouldn't we?

Sorry, I disagree. I think if they allowed it people would always rely on them in matches.

Great ideas everyone! I barely thought about setting the other stats. You made this go farther than I had imagined.

I agree, but I feel the same way playing, checkers, chess, etc with the computer anyway, so it's not a very unusual thing. Think of it more as a monster which are as far as I know just programmed only you set stats.

So a practice dummy that you can choose the level,spells, health, to make a challenging boss? What would be even cooler would be a battle ring for Crowns or gold (like 30,000 gold or something) and you could battle your boss and it's minions as many times as you want. You buy your boss and keep it permenantly, 100 for a rank 2 and goes up 100 each rank. Just put up to 4 dummies in the ring, enter the ring and POOF! Instant battle! You could even have a battle tournament in your house. If you get defeated, the battle ends and you heal, like in PvP. The mana you use will still go away though. The only thing is, if you want a rank 10 boss, it will cost you 900 gold. It isn't that much, though.

If that would happen, everyone would give them crazy crit and block stats, let alone attack power. And the spells they would use. People would give them spells from lvl 42+.Not a good idea unless it's in homes.
