We have all these solo builds to farm melee based bosses and most casters, but I can't find a single bulid for farming a monk boss.

Personally I think it's impossible, but maybe someone out there has a plan?....

Just have a look around. Even the "Solo farming, list of builds" (Sticky) holds the links for Incetol, who is a monk. In addition there are threads for Jayne and Scareater. They are not listed in the Solo builds thread (yet), but you'll find them in the forum. I am not sure if there is a thread on her but Meril Stoneweaver is an easy prey for any mesmer (primary or secondary) as well.

As far as i can tell these builds rely on a secondary (or primary) mesmer and use Spirit Shackles to shut down the monks healing abilities. Same tactics is used for several ritualist bosses like Spiritgarden or the Ritual Lord.

Its not that hard actually, and far from impossible

It's also about knowing the skills the boss you're fighting uses (check on guildwiki). For example, several bosses are pure smiters and/or don't have any healing spells what so ever (Scourgewind comes to mind), so you may want to look at a pure damage build such as Grenths Balance. Others only use healing signets, in which case you'll probably want to use Ignorance and/or diversion.
