[VPR] I would like an option to separate my combo buttons on Viper.

This isn't going to work out based off of the way in which the combos branch out. You're essentially asking for an auto-combo on the final step so that you can condense the job down to a two combo system.

Performing the job's 'combo mudras' is part of the 'alleged difficulty', as you so quaintly put it. You always have the option of 'following the dotted line' if you're still learning and need to hunt-and-peck, although you're much better off learning to play from memory.

Alleged: 2: "asserted to be true or to exist"

Putting my own opinion on the job aside with recent patch notes, it is by definition alleged that "We've received feedback that viper's unique combo system, and the managing of its combo routes, have proven relatively difficult".

An "auto-combo on the final step" is not at all out of the ordinary if you view the hypothetical graphic I made for what this option would look like.


The job would simply need to replace the third button with either the rear options or the flank options depending on which combo was built into in much the same way Dragoon can replace either Fang & Claw or Wheeling Thrust with Drakesbane depending on which combo built into it.

I really dont get it, why would people complain about the combo path? after the NG remove its literally 2 2 2, 1 1 1, 2 2 1, 1 1 2 repeat, there isnt more to it? if you press 2 2 <--- the third gcd is ALWAYS a rear, if you press 1 1 <--- the third gcd will always be flank? instead of always complaining about the smallest things just try to get some muscle memory.

People complained about Noxious Gnash even though it was very easy to press even accounting for double reawaken windows. Viper's combo routes and positionals have always been hellishly easy, but would it not be alright to ask for an option for people that are more comfortable with more traditional combo routes?

It was the first job I levelled and learned in Dawntrail, and it was easy to pick up and play relatively optimally after hitting a dummy for the first time. All I ask for is an option to press 1-2-3/ctrl-1-2-3 without having 3(x2) aesthetically redundant buttons on my hotbar.
