The removal of Viper positionals would have been preferred over removing Noxious Gnas

Wellllllll, I wouldn't say Noxious Gnash is a 'unique gameplay style', given that「 Shadow of Death / Whorl of Death 」exists for Reaper, which applies「 Death's Design 」a debuff which reads "increasing damage you deal target by 10%"

True. However, I feel like thats a glass half empty look at it. While the text is virtually the same, the usage in the rotation feels different. Reaper is essentially just a dot that you press and feels completely separated from the usual 1-2-3 rotation. Viper felt like it engaged with the 1-2-3 combo way smoother imo.

I agree somewhat, but at the end of the day, it was just Death’s design attached to a combo that you could interrupt anyway. So truthfully, you could use a GCD to apply it, go into a better combo and finish that combo when all said and done.

The only difference between the two was that NG was a part of a combo and Reaper’s you could insert reaper’s whenever. Reaper’s even had a longer debuff timer on it. Which I find odd.
