New Job: Viper

[MahthildisMMORPG]

Knew I'd seen that stance before.

Funny that they talk about having a fast playstyle with it, yet the trailer makes it seem slow (I know they normally do this, but could have had a faster pace to point out the speed).

It's probably slow because no melds and low level, so it may not have all it's abilities.

Good catch, I'm curious what the second idle stance looks like now.

Hopefully something I won't hate when I see it on a female character. I swear male characters get all the better melee weapon idle poses...

Please let me get that WAR idle stance

The stance makes it seem a bit gawky, even if they're doing it as a legacy reference thing. Is there any chance it's a placeholder, or are they just having to scrape a bit to create something different to how ninja holds their daggers?

I honestly feel it's Corsair/ Pirate in all but name really. They wouldn't give us Thief because of the negative connotations, this feels like just a continuation of that.
I'm interested in the whole Turali origin as it seems to be heavily influenced by Mesoamerican history. As a Latino myself, a whole new continent & a job based on that culture is wildly interesting to me.

I'm just interested in how it'll be in pvp.

Let's look at the name itself, Viper. There may be some connotation that we are missing. The term Viper has been used in the past to refer to pirate archetypes in anime and games I believe. Another poster gave an example earlier about it. Also the twin blades also could reflect the idea of 2 larger fangs but not using daggers because Ninja. Adding the swallow aspect seems like fan service, a lot final fantasy fans love that style of weapon. I think to many people are caught up in the name and it not being what they exactly wanted.

idk, everything about it screams "build up gauge with swords, then switch to the big hits with the single two-handed weapon. repeat". Unless they do something really unique and add an interesting mechanic like BLM has. Not sure what they would look like on a melee dps though.

[MahthildisMMORPG]

Imagine dual-wielding different Ultimate weapons, chances are, it'll be just one weapon to equip though.

probably the only thing that annoys me how in game the swords are on your back but in the cinematic its on your sides
