First off, i'm loving the job and I stand with the people who don't want to see the job change. But while we're on the subject, I thought I'd ask for something I've found myself wanting.
I love the vipersight gauge! It's a great indicator that works really well for keeping me from needing to look at my hotbar constantly. The only change I think would help, would be adding a positional indicator to the vipersight gauge.
Right now it glows red for part 2 of the combo and blue for part 3 of the combo. What if it glowed blue for part 2 of the combo, glowed green for flank part 3, and glowed red for rear part 3?
I think this would be a nice change that would further the intent of the vipersight gauge.
It may even kill two birds with one stone. Satisfying players who want to keep the job the same as is, while also making the players who struggle with the jobs positionals able to find it more intuitive to follow. Thank you.
Edit: I've learned that gauge can in fact be used for purposes I was seeking. Which is all I wanted. Thank you to those who commented and helped me to understand this. :)
Maybe one tiny change to Viper?

Not needed. The directional is dictated by the 2nd GCD step. leFt side = Flank. Right side = Rear

Negative. The left side sword on the vipersight gauge indicates the Steel Fangs combo and the right side sword of the vipersight gauge indicates the Dread fangs combo. Both steel fangs and dread fangs can become a flank or rear positional. Adding an positional indicator to the vidersight gauge would be the final thing needed to make it perfect. :)

Green icon flank, red icon rear

Correct. I just think that would be cool if that was displayed on the vipersight gauge. :)

Remove the vipersight gauge. It's completely worthless to anyone with even a rudimentary understanding of how weaponskill combos work. It's just extra clutter that we shouldn't be forced to have on our screens. I hate that I'm forced to have it constantly visible just so I can see my Rattling Coil charges.

it is already clear.. Green is flank.. Red are rear.
if you think the job is hard maybe the job is not for you -

Now I see how the prior red glow does tie in. I've been very happy with the job and that's all I've wanted and now I have it. Thank for the pointing this out. :)Quote:

Negative. You clearly don't understand Viper. The SECOND STEP of the basic combo will always dictate if it's Flank or Rear. leFt side SECOND GCD = flank third gcd. Right side SECOND GCD = rear third gcd. Don't complain about things you don't understand
