I think this thread lacks contradiction.

My opinion is that soloing mob X is great, but what really matters is "having mob X on farm status solo".

There's a world of difference beween killing, say, Khelkar or seb Emp as a solo enc, and farming him regularly for fun and profit. Simply because you can get the planets properly aligned for that one kill and pull it off against all odds, but it won't happen over and over.
(Still impressed by that solo enc Khelkar kill though...)

Flames in 3...2..1..
I have no issue with any of that. It's a lot more reasonable than this ridiculous argument. If you are buffed, you are not soloing

Picture this

Shaman sees a necro soloing. Decides to spirit of wolf and regen him.

Suddenly the necro is no longer "true soloing". Hes in some weird sub tier of solo. If hes using consumables and clickies, some even consider him handicapped soloing.

look i'm not saying I don't like to string up Grizlin and click soulfires on him until the turtle dies or dump eighty billion aggro into Tantor before kiting him around for a month while my scaled and hasted bronto tusks him in the butt. it's alright. but it's not "art", it's a question of rote memorization of one or two counters that negates more than beats the encounter's difficulty to begin with. it's not even a particularly varied toolkit, usually a combination of charm, haste, slow and/or complete heal.

solo artistry is basically the one weird trick mobs hate! of everquest

Nobody is talking about somebody grinding mobs in OT here, this is obviously concerning "trophy kills." We're talking achievement soloing here, not just regular grinding.

i didnt mean for anyone to get butthurt with my earlier comment I think it's a neat idea, I was just reiterating the reality of the former thread
