As far as the original topic is concerned: I'm soloing in HS now as a 58 Shaman. I occasionally run into undead oblations (wizard mobs) that cast magic- and fire-based nukes. They were basically a show-stopper without resist gear (I'm sitting at 42MR and 45FR unbuffed). I dragged some resist gear out from my bank, bought a couple of other pieces, and now I've got about 145 in each with buffs. I still take full damage now and then, but the majority of the time the nukes are partially or fully resisted. Now I can dot the hell out of them, root, and run around a corner without dying.
As a Monk, though, you're very limited in the resist gear you can wear, and obviously you can't buff yourself for that extra 40 points. I'm not sure I'd even bother as a solo Monk.
