Myconid Spore King - Monk Solo

So to recap the list of inanities from DSM/Stryker:

*Using 2 players and several different classes to complete an encounter is the best solo achievement possible

*Monks need outside buffs to be on the same level as casters for a solo challenge - despite already being extremely advantaged over Wizards, Clerics, Mages, Druids - and when that's not the point of solo challenges to begin with

*Outside buffs aren't an assist since it's only 1 character attacking the MOB, despite the fact that buffs are the same thing, in effect, as another player adding that same amount of DPS/healing during the fight

*People should be able to use as many healing potions as they want even though Soulfire click is disallowed, and the highest tier of challenge should allow a single wort pot even though that's no different than getting buffed by an outside source, which has always been prohibted for casters

*Spending 5 years grinding for gear on p99 is a skill on the same level as spending 5 years becoming a top ranked Chess player

*Ignore the impact of using Avatar and other procs/swapping to maximize a character's capability

*The stated goal of this thread of doing the kill without consumables is worthless, since everyone should slavishly cling onto an outdated wiki page that said so

*Anyone who thinks the most pure form of soloing is without outside buffs (most of the community) must be jealous and only started feeling that way after this thread was posted. Everyone who discusses and values soloing without outside buffs is only doing so because they want to deny people from playing the game any other way, even when all of those people encouraged the OP to do the kill without consumables and wanted to bring visibility to their video

You left out the part where they justify this point of view using parameters that were bullshit to begin with when they were written pre-Velious... more than 10 years ago.

You left out the part where yourself and Zuranthium have been lying over and over, while hoping people do not go back and read the thread. People can go back through the thread to confirm this.

Between you and me, I don't think either one of us knows what you're talking about at this point.

Anybody reading this thread can go through it and make up their own mind. The odds are not in your favor. You did say one correct thing, so I'll give you credit there:

Okay, so you know what raid buffs are

The main issue posters like myself and OP have is Zuranthium is trying to claim nothing is solo unless it is self buff only and no consumables.

Dude I've read the thread, you don't need to go quoting Zura at me. I've nothing to say to him because nothing he's said is worth engaging with.

Stryker's kill is obviously a solo kill and obviously impressive. An accomplishment to be proud of. An SAC category of only self-buffed is also a reasonable category.

I've read the thread, and you haven't exactly covered yourself in glory in this thread either. This thread would be a lot better if you didn't spend 50 pages going back and forth with those two idiots. All that it accomplished was to detract and distract from an impressive accomplishment by Stryker.

Yeah, you're totally just talking nonsensical circles looking for minor victories after moving the goal posts.

Honestly, you need to seek professional help. Dealing with your condition is beyond my expertise.

Glad to hear you disagree with Zuranthium.

If you read the thread you would see that OP isn't complaining about me. I've been trying to keep this thread on topic. I don't force other people to post.

This thread would be a lot better if posters like Zuranthium and Samoht didn't spam the thread with nonsense and lies. Then myself and OP wouldn't need to respond to it.

Please direct your ire at the actual problem posters. You have a problem with ignoring bad behavior from other posters, and pretending I am to blame for it.

Nobody is forcing you to respond. You're not a white knight. You have a mental illness.

Says the poster responding with delusional nonsense and lies non-stop.

This is a philosophical difference between us. I think the best way to deal with idiots and trolls is to ignore them. You think the best way to deal with them is to get into back-and-forth with them that balloons a thread by 20 pages in one day.

The way to keep a thread on-topic is to not engage with anyone going off-topic. And now I'll take my advice and leave you all to it. If you want to keep this thread on-topic I encourage you not to replay to this post.

I disagree. The issue with this mentality is posters like Zuranthium and Samoht will just flood the thread with bad information, as they already have.

Not all readers have specific posters on ignore (they don't pay attention to forum drama). Not all readers have enough knowledge about the game to know which poster is telling the truth.

You essentially want a forum that has more posts that are lies, character attacks, misinformation, etc., than real posts. I don't want that. Trolls/bullies thrive in an environment where they are allowed to get away with bad behavior. If everybody called them out each time they acted up, they wouldn't get the result they want, and they will get bored.
You are giving them what they want with your current approach.
