After the viper changes I've been playing two other DPS: Reaper and Samurai.

With Reaper I'm edgy John fucking Madden, I can go crazy once my bar is full it's really fun and the aesthetic is great. Only downside is Death's Design which I feel could have been placed in a combo like Viper's good old Noxious Gnash (I still miss you please come back) but that's not too bad.

With Samurai (I haven't played it since SB so everything is "new" to me and I can't speak for Kaiten), I'm weeb John fucking Madden, I can go crazy once my bar is full it's really fun and the aesthetic is great. And so far I see no downsides with the job I am having a wonderful time.

Viper before? I was John Fucking Madden.

Viper now? I'm just John. I have lost my Madden.
