PLEASE READ: Planned Viper Adjustments Newly released in Patch 7.0, we’ve received feedback pertaining to the busyness of their skill rotation. To that end, we’re planning several improvements, including the easing of directional requirements, and changes to the effects of several actions. We’re aiming to implement these changes in Patch 7.05, though we also intend to make some smaller adjustments to the range of certain abilities in Patch 7.01. It will take a while longer, but we hope to address player concerns as best we can. na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/topics/detail/e2da42164b4e6c9967ebb2e41d6321a515d36909 I will do a follow up Video as soon as these changes are deployed.

Best guide on the viper I've seen yet. No one has pointed out the color coated rear and flank positionals which makes it a lot easier to keep track of what positions you need. You'll still have to memorize 2 positionals that aren't color coated, but other than that the color coated ones make it so much easier.

Yeah I tried my best to cover what all I learned during my time with Viper and the colors were something I noticed immediately. Appreciate the kind words 🙏

I was confused if Dreadwinder first or not and this made me feel better doing it now.

@oxfordking 7 сағат бұрын

I bounced between Dreadwinder and dread fangs often to test. I found myself going back to Dreadwinder more often as I felt it got what we needed a little faster. This is all subjective imo but for me Dreadwinder works best. I'm sure the elitist out there who dedicate their time to min/max will definitely have more definitive data to back up their claims.

I feel like this job at first was daunting but once you get started with it it is a very simple job to understand the rotation pretty much is self explanatory with how things light up even though it is a simpler job to pick up and play it’s still very fun and I absolutely love it

@oxfordking 11 күн бұрын

Agreed - I actually didn't like it at first. Level 100 is a blast.

@Strider1321 6 күн бұрын

I replied to someone with this but I think it will help as well for other people as well, for the basic “123” the second attack that gives dmg buff will always make it a flank next and the one that gives speed buff will always make it a rear next. From there they follow a simple path of flanks buff the next rear on the same button (if you have them overwrite) and the rears swap the buttons. So if we arbitrarily give them the monikers Flank1, Flank2, Rear1, Rear2 the path for the last hit of the combo will go something like this Flank1 -> Rear1 -> Flank2 -> Rear2 -> Flank1 etc. You have to decide which one is 1 or 2 based on your button mapping but it will always be some permutation of this pattern

And this is something I hope changes in 7.05 Definitely doing a follow up video along with future rotation guides once 7.05 drops. Not wasting my time editing with changes around the corner.

Yeah I personally love the mobility of Viper. So much in fact that now that I'm leveling other jobs I already miss the versatility of this one.

@lockstepgaming5433 10 күн бұрын

depending on mechanics during savages it might be better to save uncoiled for other mechanics in which you cannot be near the target, or you need to hold a spot but still throw out good dps

@oxfordking 10 күн бұрын

Good point 👍 let's see what 7.05 changes bring

@TempestBunny 12 күн бұрын

For the single-target positionals, the end positional is based off of the second ability hit in the combo. For instance, if you just keep hitting Steel Fangs (ignoring the combo action for potency increase) the final action will always be a flank and vice versa for Dread Fangs. After performing one, it always seems to flip flop from flank to rear to flank. Knowing this gives the Viper a GCD to position themselves. It's weird compared to other melee classes where you always know where your positional will be based on the skill (also I still miss Kaiten, gone but not forgotten).

@oxfordking 12 күн бұрын

Yeah so when I FIRST started Viper at release (early access) I hated it... almost gave up on it after hitting 86-ish. I just wasn't vibing with it at all. After giving a another try and really focusing on the rotation I started to love it. Level 100 really made the Job exciting for me as I love extremely fast gameplay (in any game that I play). Right now I love where Viper is. Once I hit 100 I hit record immediately and started going through what I learned along the way. I never look up guides or read reddit etc on what everyone else is doing or what the "agreed meta rotation" is per se. I just felt that I had a solid enough understanding of how this Job works for a Guide. Depending on how well received this video garners, I just may do an entire series of Level 100 Rotation Guides - will take me a while to get them all to 100 and edited but it's something I'm considering going forward.

Honestly if they fixed when you get abilities and how they explain tbem in the topl tips and in game. It probably would be considered a average difficulty job. Quite possibly might also be a ping related issue with the way the buttons change and how many you have to go thru

@oxfordking 9 күн бұрын

Ping is definitely an issue - I tend to clip actions with this current rotation sometimes. A little frustrating but manageable. I'll make a new video once they drop the changes 👍

One problem i have. and it seems to be again in this video. Everyone mentions the color of the skill. But that relies on you constantly staring at your action bar which makes paying attnetion to fight mechanics at same time very difficult. Most jobs you can get a idea of their flow over time and not need to check skills nonstop. But with Viper i either need to check which sword is lit up on the gauge or which skill on my bar is lit up and its causing me issues. What is best way to know which skill to hit/positional without staring at my action bar 100% of the time?

@oxfordking 8 күн бұрын

Completely agree with you on this - and I'm keen to learn more from the team once they make the changes to 7.05 - I will be doing a follow up video on that rotation immediately. For me, I use Gamepad on PC which allows me to mimic the Flank and Rear icons - I do this so I know which one is next in line for that positional so its less looking down. I am currently at 99MSQ and I can see how the job in its current iteration can be overwhelming - almost like how ninja is but this seems a little busier than that.

@dracopo8862 7 күн бұрын

as far as I understood your first positional depends on which finisher you used in your first combo: your "left" side will give you a FLANK attack on the third hit of your next combo, while your "right" combo will give you the REAR. Depending on what you start you have to just remember to follow what the gauge tells you to press and remember that the positionals always alternate between flank>rear>flank etc.

@Zenotar1 7 күн бұрын

@@dracopo8862 yeah the second action dictates your thirds positional I know that. The problem I have is. Which if the 2 skills you press. Since it can be 1 of 2 regardless which positional your at. Every other job you can get it down to memory. But viper it feels very random so I need to constantly check my action bar to see which of 2 is glowing/check which of my swords of my gauge is glowing to know which of the 2 buttons I need to press this time

@Strider1321 6 күн бұрын

@@Zenotar1 I had to think about it for a second but I realized something with the base combo that helps with that. If you go through your 123 and go down the dmg buff path first, whichever flank attack you use the next rear attack will be the same button. That rear attack will then make the next flank the opposite button. So it’s Flank1 -> Rear1 -> Flank2 -> Rear2 -> Flank1 etc.

@RED_XLR 11 күн бұрын

I know how you feel, for some reason if I can't level up during MSQ I get bored. The remedy for this is to level up another job on the side, but then you lose focus on progressing the MSQ a bit. So prolly' best to not rush and just play at your own pace tbh. If you have too much fun all in one go you wont have fun left to be had later on, it's a bit weird but that's how I feel too.
