Stomp, are you playing on the phone or an iPad/Galaxy pad? I think everyone's optimal reaction time is on a phone device simply because the thumb is big enough to glide through all the skills, whereas you need more hand movement using a pad device.

And yes Panda, being a bird is very fun indeed It's exciting to charge in the front bashing pots and skills and generally ripping apart mobs while you're thinking "I wonder if I'm going to die"...
