Viper Changes: Do the devs even play this game?

[Rhael]

Why neuter the only thing about this class that took ANY skill?

I'm sorry, but managing a single debuff has never taken any skill. It was, however, critically important for the texture and feel of the job. Now it's gone, and - when combined with extending every other timer viper had to manage to 60s - the job feels flat and empty. The removal of the debuff may be the most prominent example to point to, but it is not the only problem with the changes. Extending the rest of the timers to 60s is just as bad for the feel of the job.
