Please don't change Viper

[Selvokaz]

..... we don't even know what changes are being made, and for them to say they can do it within the next 4 patches means its so small it will likely not amount to a huge difference in play style, at most what I could see them do is make it so depending on the position you are closest to flank or hindquarters, they'll make the button that lights up at the end of the combo match that positional, again if the combo can choose between flank or hind, then it lighting up on the one you're currently facing the position of would be the easiest solution to everyone's problem, or maybe I'm oversimplifying it, when I do play viper I tend to do whatever I feel like doing if I picked the wrong combo (nearly impossible since you either pick the combo that leads to the positional strikes or you don't) I two can understand both sides of the argument. Did everyone notice that the two sword gauge points in the direct of the button you need to press next in the combo if you have the two main starter buttons on the corresponding left and right keys/buttons? I play on a controller while on PC so that was a nice touch.

they said some of the changes will be on the 7.01 patch and additional changes in the 7.05 patch which means they're intentionally trying to adjust the job before savage drops. Perhaps you misread the announcement as coming between the 7.1 and 7.5 patches?

This said, I can't imagine any justification they can use to make the changes we can't point to another job and ask if this job can have it why can't viper? If Dreadwinder is the problem, then why isn't Gluttony a problem? If the positionals on the core rotation are the problem, then why aren't they a problem on every other melee job?
