Viper!

It was pretty interesting to see, looked like a job where you have a few buttons, those buttons give buffs which allow you to use abilities (100% proc style stuff) and then you can branch from there based on which buffs you've gotten.
Didn't seem to me that there was a "123" style combo all combo attacks came from buffs.

The ranged attack combo yoshida used seemed pretty strong, there's also another ranged attack that he didn't use but was shown in the job action trailer, I assume that's the spammable GCD one.

I loved the speed and I personally don't see any missing identity, playstyle wise it gives me big dual wield jobs from other games vibes. I also loved that switching swords was just part of the main combo and didn't turn it into a slower job like a lot were expecting.

They seem to have moved all of the buffs to this one job lol, which is pretty interesting and should at least give us somewhere to look at. The sword gauge seemed pretty cool, I expect it'll be similar to reaper in some ways but with much more interesting GCD's to hit between awaken phases. Which I'm super happy about, Reaper was almost perfect for me, but it didn't use a sword, didn't have a speed buff and was slow outside of shroud, and finally there was too many casts.

Also I gotta say, I am absolutely ecstatic that viper has no casts. It's been so long since a melee was released that didn't have to stand still ! T_T

^ I also didn't seem to notice any OGCDs that were being woven in. Probably because its GCD is faster. Nor did i notice any obvious positional abilities. Which is great, imo.

I had very small expectations for this job and didn't expect to take an interest in it, but after seeing it in action i gotta say i'm excited for it.

There were tons of OGCD's, they were just all coming from the continuation ogcd buttons that they were using. It seemed a lot like gunbreaker in that respect.

This one didn't age well lol
Its got so many positionals that the positional is in the name of the skill. And there are several ogcds.

But it looks like a lot of fun to me and I can't wait to try it out!

Personally very happy about 6 positionals and the overall gameplay so far. So same can't wait!
