Viper's weapon concept is wasted

[Carighan]

Wish we got a Hammer class that was a melee dps that was slower on the gcd side of things, with little ogcds but long cast times and high potency. Kind of like pictomancer. then you get ogcds that proc when you slam into the ground to do further damage. It's not that unique but melee with legit cast times and high potency sounds kind of cool for some of us who are tired of fast job with a million ogcds that we can't seem to stop getting

It's kinda what I thought Reaper would be, given they're swinging an oversized Scythe.

I'd give a lot for a 3,5s-4,0s GCD melee class, ideally with a 1,5s-2,0s mobile-cast portion of each attack. Slow to move, slow to attack, huge damage numbers with every hit.

Alternatively, to fully capitalize on melee casting, a Battlemage, though I'd prefer that as a Tank tbh.
