In Warlords of Draenor, a healing dummy was added to Ashran. This is a friendly NPC that can be targeted with helpful spells that quickly reduces its HP to 1 over time. In Legion, a tanking dummy was added to the relevant classes' Order Halls, which will attack players in combat that stand nearby it. These dummies for other roles have generally continued to appear in subsequent expansions, such as the Shadowlands Covenant Sanctums.
