a spot i found that can be solo monked is the iron mines of moladune mission, u just go mo/w w/ balanced stance because u face lots of knockdown.

for tundra giants, hit balanced and once they're all aggro'd and bfore balanced runs out do ur soj (they can't be knocked down and have a speed buff so they die from one round of soj)
-if u run next to a tundra giant he turns into a hammer warrior, and uses ?counter blow? and crushing blow to give u a deep wound, and adds earth shaker to his arsenal of knockdowns (they might just use earthshaker and crushing blow, i can't remember at the moment). if u use bonettis this is the way to get them to trigger it for u, but it is by no means necessary for the run

for azures, just time ur soj so they aren't in the middle of knockin u down w/ signet of judgement, their version of soj

when u get to the part before the catapults (this is my favorite part) turn right to avoid the stone summit and take the back route down to the catapult fields, dragging many white mantle along w/ u. then aggro the warrior boss and sit in the catapult and let it it pound the crap out of em (it can't touch u w/ prot up). it takes a little while to kill the warrior boss, it'd go faster if u use scourge healing on him (just occured to me now, i haven't tried it) since he likes to use healing signet. there is a second boss, which can be either a warrior or a monk. i can't remember if i was able to kill the monk, but i somewhat doubt it.

after that u can go on to kill some mountain trolls if u want and then do a few groups of blessed griffons, or just run past the trolls straight to the griffs. i don't think this deals enough direct dmg to kill the eidolon, but u can try if u want

-one plus, and the reason i searched and found this spot, is that armor drops here

Funny that you post this, I just started doing this run myself last week when farming IDS' became frustrating.

o cool. do u use scourge healing on the boss's heal signet? i haven't done the run since posting and was wondering how that would work.
