Make our Lvl 11+ Chocobos Stronger!

[CrazyCowboy]

My chocobo is lvl 14 now and barely doing any more damage than he was at lvl 10. Apparently the only stat increase it gets is from the passive skills you acquire. Sure, now my max attack chocobo can now use some skills from the tank (read: worthless) and healer trees, but comeon, increase the stats a little as they level.

Besides maxing out the attack tree, I have an additional +10% STR, and +15% Crit. His auto-attack on target dummies went from an average of a whopping 130 at lvl 10, to about 140 at lvl 14.

Seems too easy to make the reward slightly more in line with the effort required. I understand there is nothing worthwhile that you can use your chocobo for right now, but this just seems silly.

That's sad news, I had hopes increasing post 10 would increase their attack, with how hard the onions are to get its a bit of a slap

i would appreciate it to increase the ability of the chocobo to build up hatred. even when i'm using quelling strikes, my precious edgar cant tank the enemy for fuckin 3 seconds after QS worn off (tank tree completed). i mean... why is there the Tanktree? why?

Use the right food out in the field. You know you are supposed to use it out when fighting and not just in the stable to give it a favorite food, right? You actually have to use it after summoning your choco. There is a nice little emnity food as well. I wonder what it does?

There's nothing like complaining about a feature that's already in the game when all you need to do is read descriptions.

I suggest going to the nearest market board and hitting misc then changing to page 2 then scrolling down to find them.

Okay ... the chocobo is completely useless as a tank when his favorite food isn't pahsana fruit + feeding him with that on the field? noticed. the healer tree does his job even withouth special food. not so fine like a real heal, but it makes a difference.

My choco is good enough to heal (at rank 8) small groups including being solo healer for pieste maps and fight and tank decently enough. Even without food, my archer (level 35) has a hard time taking hate after my choco gets it. My choco also never lost hate when I leveled my arcanist to 50 as well.

I suppose its a matter of playstyle combined with not focusing on a single tree. (yeah that doesn't get me barding any faster but my choco is definitely more useful)

Right now I think its 4 (or 5) tank 4 (or 5) healer (just enough for choco cure) and 6 attacker.

That sounds cool, but is the meaning of Chocobos not somehow missed when it is useful only during the Level Progress (the Tankspec)? After all, it takes a really LONG time level up him. I had actually hoped that the Chocobo is fairly valuable in the alexandrite-treasure hunt (I'm collecting stuff for my ninja-relic). but... no. i get the hatred back with the first fire 1 after quelling strikes worn off. and with 2 or 3 fire3-proccs or a good critical hit, i get hatred until quelling strikes. meh.

my 50 blm can take most enenmies out in the field down in 3 shots and solo B hunts without the chocobo anyways. I so solo maps just as easy as landscape mobs without a chocobo at all. Only done Alex maps with a friend once because I went the unidentified allagan route for my weapon. I haven't even finished atma collecting yet lol

Don't have much real experience but we duo'd his alex maps just fine (with 2 choco).

I think for the amount of effort to get to level 20 the following should be given:

1) A really cool, unique barding (Getting the other two specialty bardings is lame)
2) The Chocobo should get a special skill that is on cooldown and used like the SMN pet specials. ie. Chocobo Flare
3) The Chocobo should get the ability to turn into Bahamut, fly you around on its back, and one-shot S ranks.

Choco Break
Like Limit Break, but it only build up if you level with your Chocobo solo
