Viper needs some major work

I blame this thread for what's about to happen to Viper.

And they say the devs don't read the English forum!

Sigh, finally found a DPS that I enjoy playing and SE has to go and "fix" it already.

Really not feeling the new job here folks, something is amiss. Can't quite place my finger on it though, lemme think... could it be-noo... Maybe-naaah... Oh, I got it! Too many actions per minute. I don't think the job can be viable unless we remove Twinfang and Twinblood. Please SE, the job is too hard with these actions.

I wouldnt go that far but we should definitely remove positionals to make the job more accessible for everyone.

The game has multiple jobs for a reason.

I unironically would not mind a setting on melee dps jobs that would remove positional requirements (at a moderate dps loss from optimal) for cases like open world content, dungeons when the tank disconnects, or solo duties, when you cannot reliably hit those positionals. Or like a similar button on MCH that adds a small amount of potency to Heat Blast but removes the gauss round charge gain (again, at a moderate dps loss from optimal) so my high-latency butt doesn't have to clip my GCD weaving five abilities in 7.5 seconds or risk overcapping.

What you're describing is already what happens in game tho? You miss a positional, you get a dps loss. You overcap gauss round? Dps loss. There's nothing that you just mentioned that isn't already in the game.

AH HAH HAH HAH HAH HAH HAH HAH HAH! If I can't enjoy my main job, NO ONE CAN!

I know, but it still feels bad. Like, I don't mind the dps loss of missing positionals/overcapping, but the gameplay itself expecting or encouraging something that I am physically not capable of grates on me. I love the idea of MCH's gameplay loop and aesthetics, but I hate playing MCH because of those details.

And I know it's probably not likely to happen, and I'm okay with that. I'm just throwing my 2 cents into the void.
