I think there's a misunderstanding here, it is a sick kill and grats on doing it.
But in a vacuum, there's a hierarchy of kills and unbuffed ranks higher. Those types of challenges exist to see how far you can push the class and solo, self buffed and no "strong clickies" is basically the highest step. If it can be done it can and if it can't it can't. The whole point is seeing what can and can't be done and finding the minimum threshold basically. If you've found it for monk on fungi king and it required buffs then so be it! You set the bar higher, you're the first to do it and possibly last.
The raid gear point is a theoretical argument about staying consistent with the rules. IIRC the solo artist challenge was during kunark era. So if today my 1400hp chanter gets an aego to 2500hp it is not considered "legal" according to the challenge but with velious power creep if I get BIS VP/TOV gear I'll probably be sitting around 2500hp self buffed. What's the difference? I'm just saying context is important. They might nerf lull to the point where you can't lull mobs above level 50 so a lot of chanters kills of yore will lose significance if that ever hits since some of the strategies will no longer be viable. That would make some newer kills more difficult thus rank higher.
P.S. I think splorf22 is lorean, and I think lorean got a clean solo chanter kill on king too.

I disagree whole-heartedly. I don't think anyone should be able to add ranks for a kill that never existed before and retroactively change the rules for clickies and buffs, unless they can prove that its possible under those standards first.
You are right though that Loraen is definitely Splorf22. I was thinking Loramin for some reason, I guess because he was involved in the thread earlier and was the person that locked the wiki with Zuranthium's changes. Sorry for the confusion.
