To quote from r/ffxivdiscussion:



Additionally, minimizing the usage of Dread Fangs was a gameplay element that required a bit of attention. Sure, it was not the most in depth or engaging mechanic, but it was a gameplay mechanic that kept people engaged and interested. Checking whether to use Dreadwinder or Dreadfangs was a decision you had to make, based on how the fight progressed.
Typical response it typical. Never said it played exactly the same, I said it "feels" exactly the same. Come on, just be honest with yourself, it barely changed! LOL ...Changing a couple button presses and not watching a debuff timer on what I'm fighting doesn't make a difference to me, hence "it feels the same." I still get what I wanted, a fast paced dual wielding swordsman. I went from playing Viper since Day 1 of early access to leveling Dragoon and Reaper, and OMG they are so slow! When I switch back to Viper, I realize how much more fun I'm having. Maybe play something else for a while if you haven't already, and go back to Viper. You might come to the same realization.
