The FF14 community does not understand SE's design choice

What on earth does a debuff have to do with not being able to see mechanics

I guess melee players can only see one thing at a time so tracking a debuff precludes seeing mechanics?

Its funny because on like Dragoon/Ninja I can reasonably see this being a problem due to the constant double weave and oGCD spam which led to constant effects that could make it hard to track things but on Viper? That job plays itself, the only time you double weaved it gave you a recast with enough time to triple weave.
Outside of like Reawaken Viper has some of the most visual clarity of any Melee in the game with its effects, this is just a made up excuse by the devs who clearly wanted to change Viper prior to launch but didn't have enough time.
