Chocobo Companion: Job Customizations

[LuciBlack]

Maelwyn,
Very good rebuttal. I like what you said. It is true I would not rely on a Tank chocobo, but I just thought I would still include the option in my Theory as to not segregate the Tankers ;p
Even so, it is still a good idea if only the birds were more efficient than they currently are. Also, it is very true that IF we get the option in the future to take our birds into Dungeons, we will most likely have a Tank, and at least one Healer while the birds will be all for support. The most problematic issue with taking your bird anywhere will be that they wont care about dodging attacks, so they will inevitably take the most damage. Then again, I would think using your bird in a dungeon will be out of disparity or simply because some people don't like to run with Pugs. Players will always trump NPC's.
The most typical way that they would be used, for now, would be which was mentioned above, for Grinding mats or FATE's. For Grinding mats, they mobs typically do not take long to kill, so a straight up Attack/Hybrid would be most efficient. But, I am not gonna argue that a Attack/Healer/Hybrid would not suffice either to lessen the downtime between kills.
Also, your mention of Status effects due to Diminishing Returns was completely on my mind as a bad thing, when your trying to fight a specific way and relying on an RNG helper.

All of this needs to be taken into consideration when everybody decides on how to build their bird.

The only question you really need to ask yourself is: What do you want to use your Chocobo for?
