Diablo 4 Feature Request: Allowing Players to Test Builds in Season 5

Players of Diablo 4 have been utilizing the Training Dummy to optimize their builds and stats, but believe that it could be made even more valuable with the addition of a DPS meter. This would allow them to see the exact amount of damage they are dealing in real time.

During a Reddit discussion about a DPS meter, the majority of participants showed their full support for it. One player also mentioned its potential usefulness for testing builds and optimizing stats.

A player suggested that a DPS meter should accurately display the statistics and damage values for each skill equipped on a character, and using the Training Dummy would be the ideal way to test this feature. The player stated, “If they simply implemented this while using the test dummy, I would be completely satisfied.”

DPS Meter – good or bad for the community? byu/shalzuth indiablo4

There are numerous factors that can influence the total damage output of a skill. Therefore, utilizing a DPS meter can be a beneficial method to gauge whether a skill is worth investing in, as it provides a comprehensive understanding of its overall effectiveness.

Some players expressed that having a DPS meter would be beneficial as it would provide them with all the necessary calculations. Additionally, other players were convinced that incorporating this feature would prove to be advantageous in the future.

Despite the potential usefulness of having multiple numbers displayed on the screen for each stat, players may find it overwhelming and cluttered. As a result, it has been suggested that the DPS meter only be added to the Training Dummy. This decision was influenced by previous complaints from the community about screen clutter caused by the display of picked up items. Therefore, constantly displaying numbers is unlikely to be well received.

Undoubtedly, gamers are anxiously anticipating the official release of the Season 5 patch notes by Blizzard, as well as any information regarding the highly anticipated endgame event, Infernal Hordes. It is likely that the developers will begin sharing more details about the plethora of new features in the near future.
