Viper Changes Thread - Share your thoughts

[Ayokai]

My experience with Viper so far has been in the extremes and Savage fights. While playing it before 7.05, it was a simple job. Having cleared the Savage tier with Viper, I'd say it's a little simpler in the sense that you don't have to worry about a DoT, but it plays pretty much the same as it did. I will say that it has been very enjoyable to progress and clear with in Savage, specifically M3 and M4. Having cleared both of those fights, I don't believe I can say that I could push the other melee classes to the extreme and not lose out on even a single GCD. Perhaps this tier is just built for Viper, but I can't deny that it is fun to play regardless of how simple it may be. Initially I was going to play Samurai for this tier, but that didn't pan out with the changes to Tsubame-geashi all but ruining 2.15 GCD samurai for me.

Edit: Ultimately, I'm indifferent. I think it is silly that Viper got changed in the way it did so quickly. It takes time to adjust, learn, and optimize a class.
