I’ve been anticipating this video since early access release! Thank you for continued diligence for us that enjoy pvp.

Been LOVING Viper in PvE but have been struggling and feeling useless in PvP. I hope this video helps me fix that. Thanks for the hard work!

I've been playing Viper for the last couple of days and have been having so much fun. I love diving in and using Snake Scales then backlash and Rattling Coil to reset Snake Scales.

Been battle testing since prelaunch. The main issue with VPR in PVP, especially in CC, is the lack of stuns/slows/defense. Yeah you can get health back through snake scales but you are a sitting target. Get out of snake scales and stunned and get KO. Also the DPS output is so bad for VPR. If the opponent doesnt heal then yea, its a quick KO but if they use their defensive skills/heal, you run out of steam really fast. Since it cant 1V1 a MNK very well, it will continue to struggle and be one of the harder jobs to succeed in PvP. Its sad cus i think VPR is cool but bottom tiered.

Oh yeah! I've been waiting for this. I haven't bought new expansion yet, but for pvp you gotta know what you're up against. Looking forward to the Picto guide next!

Before watching your breakdown of the class was mentally making this class severely overcomplicated, something about audio cues feeling off in the middle of the mosh pit that is Frontline. This was really helpful in connecting the dots. Appreciated Salamander!

Viper is the most squishy melee, but maybe because most people still havent figured out how play them. The lack off mitigation, stuns and shields is kinda sad. Also already saw premades using viper lol

Love your pvp vids! Great quality

Thank you so much for this, insta like!

Viper PvP tl;dr: Push button - recieve LB guage

Finally! I dont know how to play viper so I've been waiting for the vid

another great video and one i was looking forward to. seems you came to the same conclusion as i did. treat it just like reaper and just like reaper needs an aggressive team, so too does the viper.

I got my notes out! Let us take up the dual blades and learn to destroy our foes together!

Do a guide for everything in this game just like this. Thanks in advance.

Awwww thank you

Awesome guide as always! Im a new player and a bit torn what to do.. ive always mained samurai n i like it in pve but for pvp it lacks something, be it better escape or not that much else to do after ur two heavy hitters after engage, any comforting words?

Good video, cheers!

your content is great gang, glad i found a ff14 creator that doesn’t hate black people lol,

very curious how this job will find its place in CC... it's always in the game because of how fast you can generate LB, but if you aren't careful with your movement and defensives you can get caught out and laid out quick. i've been running a roaming playstyle, staying off crystal and hounding people off crystal while returning whenever the situation calls for it. securing early kills is the most important way to gain progress in CC, and viper absolutely has the tools to pull that off especially with how much damage it can put out through guard. smart use of scales will probably be what separates the best from the rest

Is there even a need to use basic Dual Fang combo? Hunter's Snap has 2 stacks and CD is so short that I feel like I always have it ready

I cant wait for picto😊

I don';t know if anything has changed since this was posted but I just seem to die upon any engage. :/

Did you notice that viper has a very long dmg delay on it's moves because of the long animations? Ouroboros is the most obvious example of this.

Nice video

Played my first Crystalline Conflict match last night since the patch, and of course had a viper to deal with... who decided he was going to attack me, exclusively, for the entire match. I didn't like him very much.

Job is a ton of fun but no stun and no kb makes me sad.

I dont understand ff14 pvp everyone uses the same buttons how would you possibly need a guide lmao
