Gotcha.

This is an example of cognitive dissonence in the wild, and it's quite interesting.

You just don't understand basic math. Aego + FoS is 1500 HP, which is 5 Wort Pot Charges. Monks have 40% spell haste with Epic, and Monk Epic gives more attack than VoG. The extra DPS from +18% haste would simply translate to another Wort Pot or two. The extra HP would give 1 more Wort pot via mend. Even by Zur's standards, 8 Wort Pots is less HP than a reaper.

OP could have done his video with a reasonable amount of wort pots instead of raid buffs. OP was just smart and saved money with buffs. Your point is moot even by your own standards.

Reposting OP's epic video where he kills Fungi King solo with his monk, no consumables:

It deserves the highest ranking of [S] when following the solo artist challenge wiki page. Please note the wiki page was changed after OP did his video, and the changes are still in dispute. [S+] did not exist as a rank previously.

If having raid buffs is such a small advantage, just click them off. Seems pretty easy to achieve a solo kill if you think the buffs contribute so little.

Let me ask you a question. Let's say you are self buffed only, and do not have see invis on as a buff or worn effect. If someone runs by during your solo kill with a bracer of the hidden and gives you see invis, does that mean the fight was no longer solo?

To be clear, the see invis buff gives you no benefit during the fight. There isn't an invisible mob/player you need to keep track of. The mob does not dispel, so you aren't using it as a junk buff.

I'll wait for your answer. The math on how much benefit OP got from VoG + Aego + FoS is easy to do, especially when we have the video. We can convert the benefit of these raid buffs into a specific number of Wort Pot charges.

Another argument in bad faith. Just a typical DSM post.

He can't answer the question. We all know why. Thank you for admitting defeat.

There was no real question. Your post was a straw man. That's why it's an argument in bad faith.

Rhetorical Context (Straw Man Fallacy):

Distortion:
Instead of addressing the original argument, a straw man fallacy involves creating a weaker, often exaggerated or misrepresented, version of it.

Easy Target:
This distorted version is then attacked, making it appear as though the original argument has been refuted.
Example:
If someone argues for better public transportation, a straw man response might be, "So you want to completely eliminate cars?".
Not a Real Argument:
The person arguing against the straw man is not actually addressing the original point, but rather a fabricated one.

I've already gone over the math. VoG + Aego + FoS was mathematically equivalent to 8 or 9 charges of a 10 dose wort pot for OP's video, which is "moderate" usage by your own standards. 2400-2700 HP would be less than a reaper for OP. You have no case, and your own standards show it.

We all know how much your "math" is worth. ROFL.

If the contribution from the buffs is so low, JUST. CLICK. THEM. OFF.

Thank you for admitting defeat. You write a bunch of nonsense instead of answering such a simple question. We can keep doing this if you want, it just makes you look silly that you can't answer such a basic question. I'll repost it again for you.
