Thoughts on Viper?

[ThorneDynasty]

Filling in the class fantasy of a rogue without Ninja's Naruto aesthetic baggage definitely sells the basic idea for me - I'm just worried it's going to continue the trend of piling on another dead simple melee job. A ranged melee hybrid like Corsair would have had to be at least somewhat unique by definition, but after what they've been doing with Reaper and all the reworks I have little faith Viper will have any depth. Let alone enough to stand next to Ninja.

I mean, the fact that it looks generic is down to earth is the point of the job.
There's been a bajillion threads about adding "rogue" "pirate" "gunner", basically, stuff with zero magic.
Here it is.

Considering it shares gear with Ninja, I feel like it feels nice. Ninja almost feel like a spell blade. by that I mean that it has a lot of magical attack in its kit. In fact, only the basic combo + 3 ogcd aren't related to any element.

The Viper in stark constrast seem to have absolutely no magic, or at least "elemental magic" in its kit.

I think it looks cool, not sure if I would play it over Samurai though.
