The Devs want all birds to DIE!!

[Formora]

The level 55 normal dex pinks have no regen and dodge, and crafted ones give you 18 h/s but no dodge or m/s and they take away your 12 damage as well. Bears were definitely underpowered before, but now my bird is weak

I really hope that this is fixed, or else I wasted my time leveling my bird to 55 (60k exp to 56).

Agreed with everything said in this thread. My bird goes through health & mana pots like water and I've had to revert back to my talon/shield simply so I do not die non-stop. I think the best, easiest way to fix this would be to simply make the lvl 51-55 gear with more armor, add dodge and HP/s & MP/s.

Yeah, the lameness of new items hasn't motivated me enough to level to 56. But I got NOVA 2 for $0.99 on Valentines Day and I'm enjoying that

hmmm birds are to easy to use now. As well as bears. Props to all you hardcore mages out there.

I got over this. I figured I'd put the increased damage to good use and kill before I am killed. Though I won't do so great trying to survive a boss, but that's why I have a party.

I think by the time we're 50+ the devs assume we can take care of ourselves and adapt to change. Being prepared with plenty of pots and gold.

I take it all back! I played last night with my shadow sets, both talon and shotgun, and hardly used a pot. It's so nice to see those bars refilling now! My bird can finally get out of rehab!

The regen is good, but this makes lv55 gear look even worse. I switched to a STR bird for leveling, because I'd prefer a little slower clearing over dying constantly. And I have nice h/s.

The +8/9 armor rings really help... exponentially.

I gave up on my bird and started leveling my bear. Bears got pretty buffed up over the few previous updates so I enjoy playing them Right now he's level 55 with 8k exp (gonna get him to 56).

I hope all the level 55 gear are given set bonuses so people are more willing to buy / farm them. Right now they're not that much better than greens or purps. The str set needs to be given some m/s and dex set needs dodge and both regen.
