You have a very bad problem with synthesizing things people say.

There are obvious conceits that need to be made in video games, not everything is completely realistic, but things should feel representative, and consumables need to be balanced properly.

Feign Death is another thing that could be implemented better (takes longer to reuse in front of the same NPC's) and it's an example of something that is never going to be entirely realistic, but instead is acting as more of a representation of a character creating a diversion that allowed them to slip into a nearby hiding spot, or playing dead after making it look like they tripped on their blade or cut their own throat. That's also why it should be a Rogue ability, not a Monk ability.

I hope you post your next video when you do it! Don't let the negative nancies get you down. I'm looking forward to it.
I was finally able to complete the challenge with no consumables used a few days ago. Check the post at the top of this page for a link to the No Charge Kill video.

A boring and pointless challenge.

Trying to use a bunch of consumables would never be a viable strat in a more refined version of EQ anyway. Using a potion should always have significant activation time and be interruptable. You know, how it actually works in a tangible world, needing to take time to drink something and finding it hard to do that in combat.

Very cool Sscalez! Geared out monks are just insane.

Any reason you didn't use Regal Band/DS pots?

Thanks man, I did use the Chardok ring on my 2nd and 3rd attempts, including the no charge kill. I didn't want use any DS pots or any other potions like that though because the whole goal was to do it without using any consumables, which I was finally able to accomplish a few days ago. I wasn't going to post it here after seeing all the haters and trolls take over this thread, but it looks like someone else posted it already anyways. [You must be logged in to view images.

Think about it like this. Castle leveled from 1 to 50 in like 10 minuets.

Worth splitting hairs about?

IIRC the solo artist challenge (which if it is not still in use, should be) has a w/ rechargeable clickies and without astrix next to the kill.

Not any less impressive to me, just informative.

This guy is a legend!!! Most excellent videos! So much work put into that character- It's always so cool to see how powerful our favorite Everquest characters can be. Grats!

Agreed! Keep up the great work Sscalez!

This was an awesome video!

With regards to the video, I liked your idea to pull, snare, then flop so you could start the fight at full HP + 1 Mend. Also good call to fistweave your Abashi's for a bit more DPS. You needed it!

Yeah arbitrary, that's exactly your dialogue. You don't set the definitions of things, nor does that random wiki page. There are people who are interested in being able to solo without consumables, get that through your thick head.

Oh, and BTW:

OP did a video without potions anyway if you read the thread.

I'm the one who linked the video of him doing it, and you're talking about me not reading the thread. Absolute clown.

Using this logic, you don't get to set the definitions either. But you clearly keep insisting your opinions are the correct ones when it comes to consumables.

I am well aware of this. That was the joke. You still haven't explained where my reading comprehension was poor. You simply proved that you cannot give up your position on consumables, even after you literally post OP doing the fight without consumables.

I am willing to bet more people agree with the solo artist challenge ruleset than your ruleset. If you want to change that, build your own ruleset and set the example by posting videos of yourself completing the challenges!

Here is OP's awesome video again, don't want it to get lost in the noise:
