    Enjoy. Also, check out the link to ecatomb inside the link. The skill descriptions should be able to tell you which skills to get for tanking and which not to get.
    I was early taught to work as well as play,
    My life has been one long, happy holiday;
    Full of work and full of play-
    I dropped the worry on the way-
    And God was good to me everyday.

    Bestial Rage is a must, cause u need to build chi fast as u can.
    Devour is a very good skill, for debuff effect and little aggro that can generate. It use lot of chi, so don't spam it too much..
    Surf Impact is also good cause it doesn't require chi and u can hit several mobs with it.

    In Rb I used a lot frighteen, both for aggro (very very very small) and for building chi.

    b:bye

    Frighten, like the Zeal genie earth flame skill, does not increase your threat level at all. It will get a mob's attention if there is nothing else attacking it but it will not help you get aggro back at all. It will stop your squishies getting battered when your mass aggro skills are on cooldown though!

    This is not totally true.

    Some days ago a BM in squad with me (BH79) was near a walking mob. He tooks aggro and mob started to cast his range attack.
    I was a bit far from them and i was biting another mob.
    I used earthflame and mob started to run in my direction (the BM was still attacking another mob).

    So i'm not sure that zeal skill doesn't keep aggro, maybe it's super low..but it exist

    The 'Alpha Male' genie skill is also exceptionally useful in these circumstances.
