I pretty much main bird in 35 now. I'm 50 STR Rest dex. From my knowledge and experience so far it's not just the dmg on dex weapons but mostly low skill stats and outdated debuffs.

-30 Hit is irrelevant now. I've personally debuffed a mage with Max blind(-30 Hit) and 2 stacked Forg Bow proc(15 stacked twice so 30) that's-60 hit that you would think makes a difference but it doesn't. Bird needs more than a buff in DMG.
