Finally found the Chocobo "Job" bardings - VERY disappointed

Thing is, I don't think its confirmed you earn em with a respec, merely that they are only active while you are rank 10 whatever.

Because your chocobo IS a healer in this case?

It makes sense, and it's cool by me.

I don't even use my chocobo. There a pita to have out in fates, their a pita to have out when you want to que for a dungeon, and you don't really need them. There is nothing you need to solo that is hard enough to warrant needing to summon the chocobo.

I mean is there a legit use for them?

I would like some confirmation on this. Do you really have to get your Choco to Lv10? I mean, it kind of make sense.

Yes, a guy on pads a week or so ago posted pics of someone with the tank barding, was a rank 10 tank spec to earn.

sorry, I didn't save the link.

I think i saw somewhere before that if you change GC you can get a new Chocobo? not sure though cant remember well im raising
the dps tree for my chocobo but would really want the tank barding though T.T

I don't have a problem with the barding tied to spec. I think it's great. I don't want WHM barding chocoboes running around with 10D spec. That's just chaos.

However, such a rigid system needs complementary systems. In particular:

1. Chocobo re-spec on par with player character re-spec
2. Multiple chocobos perhaps tied to housing, have to return to change chocobos
3. more hybrid bardings

I'd actually love to see a free-slot skill chocobo system rather than skills tied to ranks. So we can have things like:

• 8 slots of combat skills, 1 slot for bag expansion skill, 1 slot for crafter buff aura
• 3 slots of crafter buff aura (control, craftsmanship, CP) will activate the crafter barding
• 3 slots of gatherer buff aura will activate the caravan barding
• having at least 1 combat, 1 bag expansion, 1 gatherer, 1 crafter aura will activate a special adventurer's barding
• other combinations for special bardings that makes sense

But that's perhaps asking for too much. :3

So from this pic the only one missing is the BLM barding. My guess is there was originally supposed to be a 4th skill tree for chocobos. A BLM like offensive caster but it got removed for some reason. Maybe it was too OP or something. I know since they cant hold hate it would have been nice to have a chocobo that could stand back and cast spells.

inb4: but womens armor always leaves 80% bare skin for show (this is no better)

Sadly because it "looks cool." In video games rule of cool > Practicality. People always argue "This isn't real life." but I love me some believability. It's something I can overlook because gaming is saturated with it but to me practicality IS cool. Despite how much we've disagreed in the past. I agree with you on this one. Still, chocobos are supposed to be magical birds so.. Also I am curious where the rest of the barding is?
