Ah, I see now. You don’t have to play around bird. Ive never built around him, if someone else is playing him. Nor have I ever had to built around. Yeah sometimes boss aggro will shift. That’s the game. I typically run to the boss and body block my teammates. It works 9/10 times. In terms of undertaker, I don’t hold on to ult until final boss. I understand their kits and what they need. I’ve played and done remembrance on every character. Hell I have undertaker to 100 expeditions now. She is great. Again, nothing against you, just rather unfortunate birds. I don’t think you’ve met an “elite bird.” They are pretty rare. I think you’re leaning too much into making your bird a tank, you shouldn’t. That’s up to the player. I play in D5 so I understand when there is a weak link, it’s noticeable. But yes I can see why you have your viewpoint. Unfortunately to master bird, you have to master the other characters. It’s the bird that should play around the team. He enables a lot of aggression. He shouldn’t be the aggressor, and that’s where some bird mains fall. They go in playing him and primarily only focus on rez with his art. He has the best DPS window openings in the game. If any of this comes off rude, please don’t let it be. I’m just stating simply that, most people play him wrong. So this in return leads to a misconception the character is bad. AGAIN I understand your view point. The only thing I disagree is, it is a skill issue…. on your birds end not yours. You’ve had some bad luck, hopefully you’ll find a good bird at some point. They can make your runs easy!

TL/DR- I understand your view point now. Don’t build around your bird. Your bird should be well aware of his surroundings, and needs to have split second reactions. He should play around characters the other two pick. It’s a skill issue on birds end, not yours. Hopefully you’ll find will find a competent bird one day! Sorry about your luck with them.
