I don't post on forums or on Twitter at all, but the Viper changes are really disappointing, so I had to register my forum account after a couple years of playing to post this. I really hope we end up not seeing them. I agree with everything here in this thread and all the other threads that do not like the changes.

Viper is not that hard to position. You have two standard abilities that you will have to position often, big whoop welcome to melee classes. The Dreadwinder can be combo'd with True North 9/10 times, and every now and then you may have to do it without due to the 5 second difference that can cause drifts.

I don't mean anything rude by saying this, but if you can't position well on Viper and have to complain about it, you probably shouldn't be playing Viper in the first place. Either don't play it, or hush up and go practice some more with it.
