I’m still on the fence about it. Depending on how you play, it FEELS it has the potential to be very offensive. For the LB, made a simple macro:

/macroicon “World-swallower” pvpaction
/pvpaction “Serpent’s Tail” <t>
/pvpaction “Dual Fang Combo” <t>

for simple 1-button mashing. Snake Scales is. . .cute, because it functions like a second guard, allowing for a decent push or crystal hold (scales > Guard > Rattling Coil > scales) Not as tactically useful as Reaper’s shielding since you’re stuck in place, but it’s a nice baiter.

I dunno. After the launch fiasco they pulled (are still pulling) with reaper, I approached Viper with zero expectations. Dps wise, the numbers are decent (averaging around 800k for a decent match) but knowing the devs track record for watering down things as much as humanly possible, wouldn’t be surprised if they took stuff from it.
