I honestly appreciate the non-in depth version. Its like a quick tldr ver that doesnt melt mah brain

@normalmighty 5 күн бұрын

Yeah, I can figure most of it out on my own but like a quick TLDR on how all the buttons work so I can lay out my initial keybinds. These videos are perfect for that

@jorleejack 7 күн бұрын

A pretty basic rotation will be 111 for your first combo, 221 for second, 112 for third, and 222 for fourth, and then repeat, weaving Death Rattle between each combo. Then the Dreadwinder combo will be Dreadwinder, Hunter's Coil, double weave Twinfang Bite and Twinblood Bite, Swiftskin's Coil, double weave Twinblood Bite and Twinfang Bite.

Yeah it’s honestly not too hard to be a passable viper as long as you remember to land your positionals. The combos seem complex initially, but once you get your hotbar set up in a way that makes sense to your brain, it’s not too terribly hard to get used to.

OMG Thank you!! Just like your Dragoon guide help me floor tank less - this helped me better understand Viper so that hey - it's not as daunting anymore! Please make sure to take breaks and rest between videos - but keep em coming!!

My first impression of Viper: "you press one button and another one starts to glow. So you press the glowing button and then fourteen buttons starts to glow..." I still feel to dumb for this job, better stick to whm, rdm and smn xD

@cainreval7885 8 күн бұрын

This is great! Makes viper feel less speratic. I need a controller guide for this class though, It can be a hassel to find the right button combo to execute everything, especially since its spread across so many different buttons. If it wasnt for the combo auto-changing, I dont think this would have been possible otherwise.

@roboraygun 7 күн бұрын

Thanks for the great guide! So… does this mean Viper had 0 damage mitigation or utility for the party at all? I’m so used to on other dps hitting my defensive on aoes that it feels weird when a boss does its attack. Also too I feel like I have nothing to do when I’m dodging mechanics out of melee range other than just spamming my ranged attack.

@Gatescholar 5 күн бұрын

Something that helps me mentally keep track is something I noticed during my level grinds: Flankbane attacks will always correspond to the same Hindsting attack. So Flankbane's Fang will empower Hindsting Fang and Strike will empower Strike. Hindsting will empower the OTHER Flankbane attack. So if you use Hindsting Strike then your Flankbane Fang will be empowered.

I love how they built in the equivalent of Death’s Design (Noxious Gnash) in the combo rather than as a certain button, given all the Reaper’s actively choose not to upkeep let alone even apply their big debuff. This job plays itself while looking stunning.

@worldofmuu 4 күн бұрын

I feel like this can be summed up even more simply without all the move terminology. You have both a single/aoe combo series for separated swords and a single/aoe combo series for the twinblades (except this starts with a cooldown). Alternate combos to keep your haste and damage boosts up and just do what the game suggests. Use the twinblade combos when the ticks are up. Isn’t that all there is to it at 80?

@ParatrooperNinja 8 күн бұрын

I love the aesthetic of viper, it is fun right now … but I feel like the simplicity of the job mechanics may get boring quite quickly. I wish that we had to think just a little more about which abilities to use or forward planning of abilities. Just a little more complexity. I may end up swapping back to ninja at some point.
