yet you still don’t seem to understand that has absolutely nothing to do with this conversation. I don’t give a damn if it’s “faster”. I chose this method because I wanted to do it with ONE character without the need to swap back and forth.

LMAO, the degree to which something is a solo or not is the ENTIRE fucking conversation that's been going on! You are failing so badly at trying to deflect.

YOU DID NOT USE ONE CHARACTER. YOU USED 4 CHARACTERS AND REQUIRED A 2ND PLAYER TO LOG ON YOUR ALTS.

Imagine you want to log onto the game for an hour and do the camp. Nobody around to help, you just have yourself. You are NOT capable of doing the camp by yourself right now. How long is this going to take to sink into your fucking head? It's an incontrovertable fact. STOP trying to deny it.

So, now that we've established trying to do a camp with ONE PLAYER ONLY, how can we approach it? If we're trying to achieve the highest tier of solo challenge, then it means using 1 character only. That's one mode of playing. Another mode of playing is wanting to just farm the camp quickly. For that, I linked a video of the best way to do it. Pull with a snare class, then log over to a class that can do the kill (enchanter being the fastest).

You wanting to have another player come buff you is another mode of playing the game. And that's fine, and sometimes might even be the safest way to hold the camp down if you happen to have someone who will always come at your beck and call and not ask for a share of the loot, but it's not SOLO. Thus, it's not an option all the time.

I did kill it by myself. The fact that you think having outside buffs is the same as having other people with you healing and DPSing is just ridiculous.

BUFFS GIVE YOU MORE DPS AND MORE HEALTH

It is the EXACT same thing, in effect, as another player literally casting a heal on you during the fight and casting a damage spell on the NPC.

This entire game is basic math in motion. Everything is a creation of damage or a reduction of damage.

When someone that’s soloing a camp gets outside buffs, do you think the people that buffed the soloer are entitled to a roll on the loot? NO - they’re not!

That has NOTHING to do with the parameters of a solo challenge.

And LOL, wtf are you talking about other people rolling for loot. Swapping between your own characters is YOU only. You're not sharing a roll with anyone else if you do a camp like that. You're using yourself only. LMAO?!?

4 pt DS and 12 AC is irrelevant.

It's 25 AC and no it isn't irrelevant. ANY fluctuation in performance can make a difference in a close fight. This shows how oblivious you are and have likely never done anything competitive in your life where margins are tight and finding razor thin advantages is the difference in winning or not.

I have killed the king solo with and without avatar. It doesn’t make near enough of a difference to eliminate the need for other buffs

You wouldn't know seeing as you've 1.) never ran the numbers, 2.) don't have the gear in the first place to do it, 3.) never played the encounter with offhand fist swapping the whole way through to maximize DPS.

If you can already do the fight with a full bubble of health remaining when you didn't have Avatar up and weren't playing perfectly, then it's possible that Avatar + debuff + damage shield + correct swapping is enough. You're losing 950 HP by having Shielding instead of Aegolism and your haste is only going down by 18%, while your ATK stat is increasingly considerably from Avatar.

toggling the Abashi for max DPS is something that takes a metric fuckton of time and practice to master

You're definitely not a person who has ever engaged in something that takes competitive skill. Clicking on the screen twice after doing an autoattack "takes a ton of time and practice to master". LOOOOOOL.

You’re just a pathetic troll screaming from the sidelines. Anyone with half a brain can see what a jealous little bitch you are.

That idiotic line again. NOBODY IS JEALOUS OF YOU. NOBODY IS OUT TO GET YOU. NOBODY IS OBLIGATED TO TREAT YOU LIKE A PRINCESS.

I have more experience with this game than you do and far more skill as a gamer. Have you ever won tournaments and actual money? Ever ranked high globally at an actual competitive thing? No, you haven't. I don't need to log on and do anything. I've already played more than enough EQ since 1999. It's not the role of a retired athlete to spend their time on the field. They move onto coaching, officiating, or professional analysis to impart their expertise.
