Thoughts on Viper?

[Connor]

Personally, at least for me, Ninja using Ninjutsu already kind of makes it something that isn't really interesting as a dual wielder. When it comes to dual wielder jobs I'm not typically expecting to cast magic or Ninjutsu. I'm expecting to attack fast, maybe use poisons, some DoT damage, and be more rogue or assassin like. I can see Viper leaning into that archetype, but Ninja left that archetype after rogue sadly.

.

My understanding was this is the exact reason Viper even exists.
Dual-wielding swords/daggers is an extremely popular rpg archetype, but Ninja’s version is naturally more build around the ‘Ninjutsu style’ fighting as opposed to be a dual swordsmanship fighting style.
Viper offers a job that’s purely just a dual wielding swordsman dps, without the magic or ninja frogs or anything like that. It’s a direct response to the many people who wanted to play Ninja/Rogue but didn’t want to deal with mudras and Ninja stuff
