...no music, here. Sorry!

[Edited several minutes later]
Baby monk has just managed to farm keys in mp8 (solo) with minimal deaths ...stats are 480 ar, 5.4K armor, 45K hp, 1.45 ias, 5.8 ls 2h (barb) skorn and 125k ttl dps (unbuff).

I would love to try the build as follows (for mp8 games);-

Active Skill
Fist of Thunder -Thunderclap
Crippling Wave -Concussion (feels quite weak when confronting OP elites w/o it)
Serenity -Ascension
Mantra of Conviction -Overawe
Breath of Heaven -Blazing Wrath (using Blinding Flash -FitL now)
Sweeping Wind -Cyclone

Passive Skill
Combination Strike
Beacon of Ytar
Seize the Initiative

Please comment!

Note:
Relevant stats are 480 ar (will boost to ~700 for mp10 games), 5.4K armor, 45K hp, 1.45 ias, 5.8 ls 2h (barb) skorn and 125k ttl dps (unbuff). Battlenet profile is not updated with the current gears and weapon yet.

Normal mobs were dispatched off in a matter of seconds while elites just takes 4x-5x longer times ...baby monk hardly dies in mp8 now so, intends to step up to mp9 and finally, mp10.

Actually, I did try Deadly Reach (DR) -Foresight in mp7 games earlier and dies quite often to OP elites but I should have tried DR -Keen Eye instead so will give it a focused stare tonight, hehehe.

I'm working on dropping STI for The Guardian's Path (using 2H skorn for games currently) eventually however, spirit resource availability is more than sufficient in mp8 now, the only issue is waiting for cooldown to expire perhaps, TGP is mandatory in mp10 games but I can't confirm this yet.

...will try to attain 1.74 ias to swing the 2H skorn swiftly.

o.O, ...my baby monk feels the urge to demo the 2H skorn SW -cyclone technique for your viewing pleasure and perhaps, stamp of approval.

...can always avoid elite confrontations to ensure 100% survival hopefully, doesn't encounter dc.

Thanks for the welcome gesture, I certainly appreciate it lots ...hopefully, my baby monk can graduate from the mp10 solo course eventually.

so, when will it be possible for 4 monks to do mp8 uber run?

Is thales the totally perma-freeze wiz from start to finish or just almost perma-freeze wiz sometimes there is a slight stoppage?

My baby monk protests and not satisfied ...why yuhhaur, cowithegun, yourself and myself can't even defeat zk+sb in mp7?!, hehehe.

Thks for the explanation! ...and i can see that yuhhaur's monk is more powerful now,

I will be trying the build as follows (for mp9 games tonight);-

Active Skill
Fist of Thunder -Thunderclap
Crippling Wave -Concussion (feels quite weak when confronting OP elites w/o it)
Serenity -Ascension
Mantra of Retribution -Indignation or other rune (using Mantra of Conviction -Overawe currently)
Breath of Heaven -Blazing Wrath (did a better job than Blinding Flash -FitL)
Sweeping Wind -Cyclone

Passive Skill
Combination Strike
One with Everything (using Beacon of Ytar currently)
Seize the Initiative

Option 2 created based on feedback responses from everyone, seems to be more solid.

...will try both build options in mp9 solo games. If fail, then Mantra of Retribution -Indignation can be replaced by Mantra of Healing -ToN.

Ya, baby monk understands and agreed with master qicquser thoughts ...but I'm talking about solo games,

Next time in any coop games, this baby monk is going to ask the barb ...got WarCry -Impunity ka? If not, MoC is not available, la!,

Based on my estimation, the existing gears used by my baby monk currently should be able to clear mp7 solo w/o chanting a mantra however I'm trying to push its boundaries playing at 2 levels higher without any gear upgrades by experimenting with the skills set, if possible.
