Guide NY Raid Micro Guide - More than you ever wanted to know about the Birds

[Kitarra]

You didn't ask for it. You probably didn't want to know this much detail about the birds (yes that included THAT awkward conversation with your parent when you were a teenager); but LordStarFox and I found it out anyway and now we have put it into a handy dandy guide!

So why bother with only a single phase of NY raid? Why not do a more general raid guide?

Number 1 there are a LOT of excellent raid guides out there. No reason to recreate the wheel. Number 2....well, quite frankly, the Birds is where a lot of raids come apart, the healer dies, then the tanks die, or the DPS die to a badly placed cone and this starts an endless chain of wiping. The hope of this guide is a deeper understand for everyone what is going on and thus helping people understand where they can break the cycle. And number 3, purely selfish research. I want the five minute achievement and really, I was looking for a way to shorten the bird phase.

So after days of staring at blury videos and spending some heavy duty quality time with a stop watch, here it is:

Please note, we presented our view of the bird phase. There are other ways to do things.

Oh save the tasty healers
For they are made of bacon
The adds will try to eat them
And then we have to wipe

The raidleader will yell at you
The podder will drop filth on you
The healers will not heal you
Because you let them die

So save the tasty healers
For they are made of bacon
The adds will try to eat them
And then we all will die

You'll stand in the respawn well
And stare at your repairbill
It grows with every failure
If you let healers die

So save the tasty healers
For they are made of bacon
With yummy chewy centers
Om nom nom-nom nom-nom

In my raid we often see the birds spawn in front of the right rubble pile, right front, left front, and center. The other pattern is in front of the right rubble pile, center, left front, and center.
