Chocobo Companion for Monk

[TorinNionel]

Has anybody got experience with the Chocobo Companion for Monk? I'm a little torn between a Healer and Tank type. With the Tank type I reason that flank/rear moves will be easier to perform. Healer will keep us alive and work well with the evasion and defensive abilities of Monk. Healer however will be potentially useless for any mage classes you level.

It's a tough decision because right now it doesn't seem like you can specialise in more than one tree, and there is no mention of a way to respec.

I'm going for a tank with mine. Right now, he's not pulling enough hate for me to get behind/flank the enemy. But hopefully with time, he can hold his own. If I'm really in a pinch, I'll switch him to Healer for Regen/Choco Cure, but that's as far through the healing tree I'll go.

This is exactly what I'm wondering. I hear healer and tank don't perform very well, but I'm wondering if that's just at low levels. Attacker seems to be the best from what I understand, but everyone who says healer is terrible is only like level 1 or 2. Anybody with a higher level choco give some insight?

they are better as dps companions. they hit decently hard. it takes FOREVER to rank up the chocobo after rank 2 since they only rank up from kill xp. it doesnt produce much threat nor does it heal very well. you can't control how it heals - it tends to only heal itself.

Right but I'm wondering in the long run if the threat issues and low healing problems get better.
