Hello fellow tanks,

my main is a pally, and I was wondering, how should I build my chocobo: attacker or healer? I suppose it's obvious I wouldn't want it to be defender (or is it?). Don't wanting to compare, but my pally in WoW could pretty much solo anything non-instanced, but I'd take literally forever to kill some of the higher HP mobs, if I was alone. So having an attacker companion would be the best.

Now, in FFXIV, I'm not sure if pallies are all about survivability (i.e. they don't kill, but they don't die - as in WoW) or if they can actually throw some DPS, if they focus on it. So, in case we're all about survivability, I'd prefer an attacker companion. In case we could DPS if we could focus on it, I'd prefer a healer chocobo, as I hate healing myself if I can avoid it.

I suppose that for Warriors it's pretty clear they should go for a healer chocobo.

Thank you very much,
Henrique.
