I remember when this job was unique and had something that set it apart from any other job in the game. No other job had a 20 second debuff built directly into its rotation. Some people (majority of people and anyone who is an actual viper main) like having at least one thing to keep track of during a fight. I know "Job Actions Are Subject To Change" but this is almost bait and switch tactics when you gut something the job could use in Sastasha.
