I wear Dain Belt, which is better than Tunare belt for monks. Spikecoat is a 4 point DS, completely irrelevant

You don't wear the Tunare belt for the fight. You click it beforehand, and it gives armor in addition to the DS. That isn't irrelevant, nor is the DS for a close fight.

You think a Steal Strength (27 pt strength debuff) is going to magically make the king tankable without buffs?

You didn't use AVATAR, idiot, and if you are trying to do a challenge without outside buffs then you should also be starting the fight with Shielding pre-procced. The discussion here is not just about this fight either, it's about trying to calculate and achieve the absolute highest numbers of what a character can do. Every little thing matters.

The numbers need to be ran, but going on rough estimation the combo of Avatar/Spikecoat/Steal Strength/Shielding puts the fight within the realm of being worth looking into, especially considering you weren't maximizing your DPS at the start of the fight with fist swaps.

I’m just glad we aren’t talking about offhand swapping a SoS for more dps.

Abashi's delay is too low for that. If a Monk wants to maximize their DPS while leveling up though, then yes they should be swapping to that inbetween hits of their Herbalist Spade.

Linking a video of someone using multiple characters to kill something is pretty irrelevant in a conversation about SOLOing the spore king with a single toon.

YOU USED MULTIPLE PLAYERS AND 4 DIFFERENT CHARACTERS.

Once again, the FACT is that you did not achieve the kill BY YOURSELF. You needed another player to buff you, with multiple other characters.

A single person being able to do the kill by swapping to another of their own characters is ONE PLAYER, and the fastest way to do the kill is by using that method.

The buffs didn't give me extra abilities that my class doesn't have otherwise.

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Then why did you get the buffs from all those other classes and need them to do the kill, if they are abilities your class "already has"??

What the actual fuck is wrong with you? This total lack of logic is unbelievable.

You are so full of shit you can't even say a name

WHAT name?? I don't save the names of all the thousands of different characters I've interacted with, particularly someone doing a routine farm of a camp that has been happening for ages. You're the one who is full of shit, being ignorant to what others have done in the game and thinking you're omniscient and have done something totally new.

Yeah it's only the 5+ years of gearing a single character in a guild with 500 other people bidding against you. Pure busy work, right?

That is exactly pure busy work, LOL. It does not take any relevant amount of skill to accrue DKP in this game and it has nothing to do with the mechanical skill of completing a solo challenge.

You're delusional, like a lot of PvE'rs in these kinds of games, thinking what you're doing is anything more than a rat race. It's a totally fabricated carrot on the stick, designed to you keep you hooked by forcing time to be spent on the repetitive grind of accruing more gear/levels, and requiring very little real skill, so that nearly anyone who wants to put the time in can achieve it.

There's a reason why actual competitive games don't have arbitrary barriers to entry like that. You don't need to spend 5 years getting the pieces to play Chess by playing candyland for 5 years beforehand. You don't need to spend 5 years unlocking units/characters/cards in Starcraft/League/MTG. You don't need to spend 5 years in the shallow end of a pool before being allowed to start swimming laps.

5 years spent on those games/athletics/arts is something where the individual is constantly engaged with purely increasing their skill, where significant depth of skill is required to achieve the next level, and where the individual is ranked purely by their skill, not by how long they've been doing extraneous time-wasting crap.

And that is exactly why I don't put more time into this dead-end game. There is no point in wasting my life on that. There's nothing intellectually or creatively stimulating about it, I've already seen all the sights and discovered all the possibilities. Using a small amount of free time to discuss what the game could be and how it played during classic is far more interesting than actually playing it.

All the other people? You mean you, Samoht, and Warpath. The majority of people that have come here have not tried to dispute whether it was solo or not

Half a dozen people in this thread alone have disputed it, and someone not outright disputing the definition of "solo" doesn't mean they think soloing with outside buffs is the most pure or impressive form possible.

You continue to create false equivalencies and can't stop sticking your head in the sand and using strawmans. It's truly pathetic that you think anyone who has a different standard (a more factual standard) is envious of you. Especially when these are all things that have been stated a LONG time before you ever made this thread. Nobody's opinion has anything to do with you. You just want everything to be about you, and for everyone to worship you. Probably because you're not getting much other real enjoyment out of the game, or elsewhere in life.
