For the love of god dont give your companion Choco Medica

Its the only thing it will ever use to heal regardless of the situation. Even if youre the only one hurt and it has full HP it will use medica. Dont use it. Your bird will troll the hell out you.

Rank 20 bird. Uses choco regen and choco cure all the time.

But eh, people shouldn't seek out a second opinion, hm?

I had that problem with my choco until i remembered to swap stances for it when i need to. When i need a straight-up cure, i swap to healer stance, when regen and medica is enough i leave him on free stance.

I have my bird has a healing bot. Its always in heal stance. It refused to use Choco Cure even when I was near death and it HP was fine.

You're obviously treating him badly. You keep calling him an 'it' at least ;)

I pull agro off him, I feed him and I even clean out his stable regularly. I think its getting spoiled.

mine is rank 20 too and medica sucks

I put his pts into heal 9, atk 10, tank 10, it works very well, he heals a lot and only uses cure :p

I must be lucky because I don't have this problem. Mine uses cure more than medica. (Not doubting the issue though.)

I ran into the same issue when I got him to rank 10. Ended up grabbing a pepper and putting 9 into healing and the rest into attack. Would rather he had something different in place of choco medica.

I have rank 20 on 9/9/9 because I don't want my chocbo aoeing. Don't trust him to it.

With some luck SE reworked Choco-Medica for 3.0
The Chocobo should not use it the moment he can, but the moment it is needed (if 2 or more are hurt).
Choco-Cure should have a higher priority than Choco-Medica if only 1 is hurt.

how hard is it for us to get Gambits like FF12.

Mine is at rank 20 too, but 10/9/10, sometimes it aoeing is quite troublesome, but yea, no aoe heals for it :/
Well... one can't trust a bird brain after all...

My rank 20 bird does other cure spells often. I'll admit choco medica is awful though.

I wish mine would evade AoE attacks from enemies. He's dead before it occurs to him to heal anything. :/

What I'd like to see happen (but won't) would be for medica to be changed to esuna.

What I'd like to see happen (but won't) is Chocoraise. Yeah I know OP but what if it had a several minute cooldown, would help when getting low level classes through early ranks of hunting logs aggressively while solo at least. And it would be kinda cool to have your chocobo raise you, maybe with some kind of phoenix animation.

I'm glad this was posted I have a rank 11 Chocobo with max points in Healer and rest in DPS perhaps I will respec that last healer rank to DPS.

"They are considering a gambit-system for the Chocobo Companion (and Magitek). This system is pretty definite, but includes a few aspects, and is perhaps a year or so away from release."

What is the gambit system?

From FFXII. Basically, you could set up characters with things like:

Ally: Party Leader HP <50% Cure II
Ally: Any HP<50% Cure II
etc.

In the above example, the character with this setup will cure any ally whose HP drops below 50%, but will heal the party leader preferentially if they and another drop below 50%.

the gambit system was the best ai i have ever seen in an rpg, because you were programming it by yourself xD you were able to use it for your main character too, so just running around and move the camera. have beaten all bosses except omega (the strongest boss in the game) without actual playing by myself xDD

I've heard of this problem before, and even though my choco is Rank 20 I still just don't use him all that much.

What I wonder, though...They released that chocobo rank is going to increase again in Heavensward. Opting to not spend those points might not be viable much longer if new skills are added to each tree. They should probably just fix the AI of the chocobo....

or let us control it. or let us use it in a dungeon. or anything that makes it viable outside of open world.

I would probably use it more if the italicized type was the case :(
