Noxious Gnash should be added back onto the job. If there is a reason why the development team doesn't want to have that mechanic, then they should have given the job something else which has the same or more depth. It would also need to be a mechanic which holds all of the components of the job together like Noxious Gnash did.

The new effects "Honed Steel" and "Honed Reavers" have no depth to them and have no interactivity with the rest of the job's components, so they are not a suitable replacement for Noxious Gnash.

Also, the 'finisher' venom effects (e.g. "Hindstung Venom") being extended to 60 seconds leaves less room to make mistakes. If you can't fail, then you can't succeed, so I'd like to see this reverted back to 40 seconds.

I'm very disappointed to see a new job both simplified and fundamentally changed in so short a time. I really hope Viper is actually improved—in meaningful ways—in the near future.
