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

Here you go being a disingenuous piece of shit again. This is why nobody here can take you seriously. HAVING BUFFS IS NOT THE SAME THING AS USING MULTIPLE PLAYERS TO COMPLETE THE ENCOUNTER. The fact that you are trying to use such reductive phrasing tells us everything we need to know about what a deceitful little prick you are.

Yes, monks need outside buffs to be able to keep up with casters, maybe not all casters, but the ones capable of soloing anything significant. And guess what? It's not just about monks! Monks may have the smallest gap to make up between melee and casters, but that rule still applied to same for melees that needed the help from buffs even more, like rogues and warriors.

*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

I don't know if you think people are going to read this list and think you're somehow not insane for making these completely asinine and reductive arguments... like people can't see right through this bullshit. NO, buffs are NOT the same thing as having other players there DPSing, healing, and helping with the fight. You claiming this just shows your own delusional bias.

*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

Before you deleted the previous rule-set, the "strong clickies" and heal pot rules were clearly defined and abided by for years. It wasn't until I posted my spore king solo vids that triggered your fragile insecurity so badly that you decided to delete everything and posted your own made up standards, for a game that you admittedly don't even play anymore. Remind me again why you should have ANY say in this at all??

Now you're just bold faced lying and putting words in my mouth. Anyone can search my post history, I've never once even mentioned the word chess in this forum, much less tried to equate it to video game skill. Again this deceitful behavior is just par for the course for you.

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

I HAVE killed the King with Avatar and 2h toggling the entire fight, multiple times. Remind me again which one of us has solo'd the king numerous times now, and which one of us hasn't done jack and doesn't even play the game anymore? That's what I thought, moron.

*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

Again this is just completely reductive and disingenuous logic. Yes, the whole goal was to complete the kill without consumables, but that doesn't mean that the wiki should be changed to fit your own deranged agenda and ridiculous standards like disallowing buffs entirely for melee classes.

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

I literally never said any of that either. I think DSM might be onto something... it seems like your reading comprehension isn't very good, or, more likely, you still just being a disingenuous piece of shit. I think everyone here knows which one it is.

Who are you to decide what the most "pure form of soloing" is? Are you the solo master? Someone who doesn't even play the game anymore?

News flash, this is a MASSIVE MULTIPLAYER ONLINE GAME. Buffs exist for a reason, that is to make things easier or possible when they otherwise would not be. If they were only meant to be used when you were grouped, then they would be coded to fade or not land when you're alone. Anyone with half a brain on these forums can see the fallacies and reductive nature of your arguments, and see right away for themselves that you are not debating in good faith. Putting words in people's mouth and trying to reframe the argument to suit your own narrative isn't going to work here.
