i mean if you need the hlep and cant solo... sure why not use the bird. But doing fate grinding for solo botters is still the fastest way. Using ur bird will slow this down alot and you still can die in fates just as easily as if you ddint have the bird out. I rather at lvl 50 Spiritbind gear and use the bird then to get the rank 10. And yes its 50% its easy to see. kill a mob with out hte bird out and with the bird it will be cut in half.
