1) Why are you bothering? If it's a personal challenge, awesome, but it's weird. There's almost nothing to gain from doing so, and since Inferno is Inferno regardless of MP level, you can kill him on MP0 and then move on.
2) You need a really specific Iskatu-killing build to get at him if you're undergeared for the encounter, which I'm guessing most of us are if you crank the difficulty to MP10.

waqs curious if any other barbs out there have no trouble killing him on 10.just wanted to know how hard it really should be for a good barb

mm, I should give this a shot, I'm by no means a great barb, and I'm not tank specc'd anymore I'm 87k (unbuffed) ww barb but with all the little guys running around thats a lot of lifesteal and life on hit, Iskatu's biggest problem would be getting mobed and not having enough armor/life gain (regen, steal, on hit) or the desecrations he drops, at MP10 would more than tickle.

so far I've only gone as far as MP7, tried MP10 for a laugh but the trash takes so long to take down it got pointless, didnt see any elites. Iskatu however is a no pre-trash scenario so just jump in and go for the kill, when I've fought him in the past for progression I always went cleave to explode the trash and in diong so gain killing speed.
