New Job: Viper

[WeebAlert]

Reading this thread is kind of insane to me the way that people seem to think they have the entire job rotation figured out from a short video that barely shows every skill. We won’t be able to know how to the job plays until we see the job actions trailer. Anyone who thinks they “know” the job plays like reaper based on this trailer is being completely disingenuous.

Especially since this is par for the course with job reveal trailers. They reveal like its battle stance emote, then reveal a fragment of the kit. Usually its just the resource builder, with a few odds and ends here and there. To me it just looked like what happens if you put skillspeed on a rogue/ninja for their basic 1-2-3, then with some Blood of the Dragon looking buff activated.

Well since the 2 minute burst window seems to be staying we can make some pretty accurate guesses so far. It's blue aura burst will probably be on a 2 minute cooldown, it will probably have an ability similar to manafication that will allow it to burst in the opener since a lot of jobs have that now too. It's gauge spenders will be designed to be used in that burst window since they will be the higher potency skills. It will also most likely have a 1-2-3 or 1-2-3-4 standard combo to build gauge with a few oGCDs sprinkled in on different timers, though they will still have to line up to the 2 minute burst window.

Naah bruh the blue aura is definitely going to be like reaper's enshroud where you build up meter for your burst then spam a single gcd (or two if you're lucky) for 4 hits before ending it with a big finisher ala Reaper's Death Ball. The one thing that definitely would be on a two minute timer would be it's super flashy attack that gives you enough gauge to activate the blue aura in your opener.

The rest of it is pretty spot on though lmao.
