AS4 downed within 4 days in china

Chinese making the run look like a walk in a park it's starting to hurt peoples ego.

Some people are missing the point on this AS4 clear. The run is all about skill. Just look at the ilvl. This people are putting all the other AS4 CLEARS into shame.

This was the perfect clear. So agree to disagree

I would be in awe if China had no means to use the internet and the ability to mantain nisi and clear.

It is actually quite rude to say that this puts other clears to shame; the China players skipped the entire learning process of the fight whilst never even considering the nisi strat. Teams that first went into A4S made it to Royal Pentacle just to find out they needed nisi causing them to pretty much relearn the 4th leg and from then on making the rest of the encounter a living hell for weeks.

Chinese players had MONTHS in advance to prepare for this fight. For you to say that the World 1st-3rd kills were put to shame is downright Disrespectful. World 1st and 3rd did the fight correctly which is signficantly harder than the cheese strat. While the World 2nd group invented the strat that saw many clears days after videos were released.

Also please realize that going into alex savage players were in i180 gear with very few i190pieces. A3S was practically cleared in i180gear. And iirc, the DPS requirement for A4S is lower than A3S according to elysium.

I suppose i should explain how loot drops work before you go on about how players were i205+. So 2 chest drop(2 gear pieces) per floor that contain RANDOM items. Meaning, some members in the party are lucky or unlucky. People tend to check the highest ilevel member in the party and say something like "That group cleared it with 200+ gear!" When in reality maybe 1 or 2(3 for non-duplicate luck) are even near that proclaimed ilevel. Meanwhile, the other 6 members are sitting at 193ish or even ~i190 wondering why RNGesus has forsaken them.

I'm not denying China's skill, but give credit where credit is due.

(inb4 you go over little things I may have missed like books from each floor/etc.)
