How do you feel about Viper?

Limited experience, as have only just started playing it really. However, one personal dislike I've found is the gap-closer, which isn't very practical as a 'get out of the AOE' solution in my opinion, as have to shift focus from the enemy to an ally. I far prefer the 'no target required' Ninja and Reaper alternatives.

VPR is okay but it doesn't feel like and of the abilities really "connect" with the target.

For example, Fell Cleave is an ability that feels like it hits the enemy. VPR clearly has a couple moves that are supposed to be similar but they just don't feel satisfying to use.

Couldn't care less. Dual blades are the silliest weapon design ever conceived in media and the job should have just been dual wield.

Positional heavy melee with mall ninja weapon. Count me out.

My main concern right off the bat, or I guess complaint, is that while double weaving is something a lot of jobs can do, it's never been mandatory (outside optimized high end raiding, I guess)....but with VPR double weaving is part of its core rotation, you HAVE to double weave, and as someone with higher ping, I may need a certain em oh dee just so it doesn't feel that unnecessarily clunky to play.

Aside from that, it's really fun and aesthetically pleasing, I also like how the positionals are literally color coded lol

Honestly disappointed that the twin-blade is just a design aesthetic. It would have been neat if they leaned into the different stances do different things aspect. But i guess that would add too much complexity for this job.

It caught me offguard too, I was under the impression dual wield stance would be your normal combo fillers and the twinblade your burst window (or vice versa). A bit of a missed opportunity I think /shrug

If it wasn't broke, why "fix" it?
