    You have to depend on the Companion in World content?

    Set it on "decide what you want to do yourself", draw the mobs and keep the forward AoEs aimed at you. The Chocobo Companion will cast regens or heals if necessary, and you can move the mobs so that their frontal attacks do not affect it. (Think "I am the tank").

    It already costs anywhere from 1 to 1.5 million gil in Onions to level it to 20.

    For those actual Tanks out there: why do you want the Chocobo to be that DPS who pulls instead of you? You want it to attack first? Use 'Sic'. Just don't put it into "do what you want" mode, or it will think you want it to tank, which is not what you really want to do.

    Depend on? no.

    But when you're just a non-melee (bard etc) and don't have access to Bloodbath, extra healing on fates is nice allowing you to multi mob pull.

    Except mobs are constantly throwing out AoE's that you have to move from and every time you do, your bird follows you and stops healing. At some points you just say screw it and soak everything.

    Veteran healers don't care if we need to heal, but right now we don't. We want interesting things to do during the downtime other than a 30s dot and a single filler spell that hasn't changed from lvl 4 to lvl 90.
    Dead DPS do no DPS. Raised DPS do 25/50% lower DPS. Do the mechanics and don't stand in bad stuff.
    Other games expect basic competence, FFXIV is pleasantly surprised by it. Other games have toxic elitism. FFXIV has toxic casualism.[/LIST]
