    Hey, at least Pictomancer doesn't have a cringe name like "Viper"

    I'm still mad about it. Why Viper? Where's the poison? Why didn't they call it Blademaster instead? It's the same as Sage, why Sage? He's not a Sage, he's a Medic, just call him Medic goddamn it (or Physician at least). At least Pictomancer makes sense. Imagine if its name was Cartooner or something.

    I don't really see the issue with Viper, sure vipers are venomous but they're also typically ambush predators and strike pretty fast. Plus, the rotating fangs could be a nod to the transformable weapon Viper uses (and you'll have to pry the Wiper meme out of my cold, dead hands).

    Oberyn Martell from GoT series (books) is also called "The Red Viper of Dorne" or "The Snake".

    Taken from the wikia:
    ----
    "Oberyn has been known as the "Red Viper" ever since by friends and foes alike, due to rumors that he fought the duel with a poisoned blade".
    ---

    When I saw the first trailer, the fighting style of the Viper job immediately reminded me of Pascal as Oberyn.

    Maybe???

    Viper makes sense though? Two swords, like a Vipers fangs. Very quick movements, like how a Viper strikes quickly?

    It fits. You'll get used to it.

    Why are Snakes/Vipers suddenly cringe? Vipers are extremely deadly animals.

    People these days <.<

    Names like "Viper" bear an implication, it fits well a job sharing gear with a job like Ninja.

    Finally, a "Blademaster" is someone who's an expert in using melee weapons such as sword, spear and axes. They're often teachers of knights.
    Considering this, it would make even less sense to call Viper a "Blademaster".

    It's defo more interesting-sounding than "blade master".
    It's too early to tell if the job does or does not have poison DOTs.

    Considering how they keep dumbing down the combat I doubt it'll have poison dots.

    Remember how much buffs we had in 2.0 and 3.0? They started to remove since Stormblood.

    Letter from the Producer LIVE Part IX Q&A Summary (10/30/2013)
    Q: Will there be any maintenance fees or other costs for housing, besides the cost of the land and house?
    A: In older MMOs, such as Ultima Online, there was a house maintenance fee you had to pay weekly, but in FFXIV: ARR we decided against this system. Similarly, these older MMOs also had a system where your house would break down if you didn’t log in after a while in order to have you continue your subscription, but this is a thing of the past and we won't have any system like that.

    honestly i like viper better than pictomancer.

    but i hate *mancer* jobs n classes, like throw it at the end of what they do and it magically makes it an acceptable naming convention?

    course i guess overall it can't be worse than just throwing words in front of other jobs, black mage white mage blue mage or holy knight rune knight ect.

    i like the more unique names that implies things about them but isn't straight up a title with some word added to it.

    It's just a Thief Class. It's modeled after Zidane Tribal. Would have preferred Rune Fencer or Mystic Knight over Viper. Viper makes me think of a Venomous Snake.
