F for our combat academy practice events : https://puu.sh/BJDhm/12b00a439a.png

We used to do these weekly where we could compete and help out newer members with abilities / bars / dps tips :'(.

The combat academy change has pretty much destroyed events like these, the new combat dummy areas are all very unsuitable because:

- they do not have enough dummies

- dummies are too close together, too much area of effect damage / damage from corruption abilities spreading

- not enough space to move around or stand apart, especially to the north/sides of dummies for mutated barge & flanking abilities.

- no killable low level npc's like chickens/imps/guard nearby to practice things like target cycling / losing target for certain combos.

This change removed an almost perfect competition / teaching location and replaced it with 3 small unsuitable ones.

Please choose one of them, make it larger and give it a nice layout. Quadrupling (or larger) the size of the one in war's retreat for example.

Thanks for the feedback, I'll make sure this gets heard
