Chocobo Companion: Job Customizations

[Maelwys]

ps. You dont need to be concern with the slow DR, other jobs have a cooldown on theirs so they can't spam it anyway, and those that can, its not stronger than your choco's slow of 20%!!

Minor Pedant: Technically Feint and Lethargy have specific cooldowns, but Haymaker is on the GCD (as long as you dodge!) and Shadow Flare's slow has 100% uptime...

Triggering DR on Slows isn't anywhere near as crippling/dangerous as doing so on Stuns because the impact of Slows on gameplay is relatively minor, but it's still something to keep in mind since you can't stop your Chocobo from using abilities without Changing Stances. That said, the build Ayla mentions above is also going to be extremely effective. The main thing is getting Rank 7 Healer and a reasonable amount of DPS from the Attacker + Defender trees... since the Chocobo is so poor at tanking even when specifically built for it, the differences in performance between picking two choices from "a DoT", "a Slow" and "an extra 15% Crit Rate" are going to be relatively minor.
