    Roar has to be the first skill to be leveled before you head to RB/FC. Surf Impact isn't used as an aggro holder. The damage it does is nothing compared to other aoes of other classes you would be squading with. Frighten is a good skill when your DDs fail to kill the mobs quickly and you've your invoke under cooldown. Use frighten and solid shield to reduce damage to a very noticeable extent.

    Sunder comes in handy when you go for your FCs, a great aggro holding skill. Since early FCs involve DDs that take time killing the mobs you will have enough chi (taking hits from mobs) to Sunder and still have a 2 spark to Invoke by the end of the run. Surf Impact serves only as a filler AOE. When you level to the 90s you will find that your DDs are so awesome that you wont have time to use your Surf Impact until the last AOE room.

    In FF I use Frighten as an initial aggro generator, after I've run through the mobs. Then I circle and gather the mobs as close as possible-Sunder, surf impact and run back to the BB. Once I get to BB I'll frighten, roar, and then sunder again (if it's cooled down.) I also use alpha male if I notice cleric getting hit.

    btw: Roar and Frighten are decent chi generators.

    Priority for leveling: Sunder, Roar, Surf Impact and then Frighten.

    I never got sunder yet ....

    IMHO Frighten and roar at the same time first is better off, tanking or not. Then I upgrade surf impact. but sunder will be before surf impact.

    Good thing I have everything up-to-date.
