FYI with the new patch notes, you can no longer be taken out of snake scales with miracle of nature So that's a good sustain buff for viper However mnk, rpr and dmc lb can still take you out of it
Great video and honestly VPR just feels depressing to play rn. Outside of the initial LB burst nothing about it feels impactful. It's another one of those jobs that only do well if a DRK gathers everyone up nicely for them with good support provided. But on it's own it's very average, I'd go so far as to say it's the worst melee job in pvp. SAM, NIN and MNK are all better for getting solo kills on your own and DRG and RPR are much better at AOE dmg. VPR doesn't really win anywhere.
I've been finding most of my succes playing the job as a more mobile tanky ninja, that excels in AoE and poke damage. If don't see it like mnk or Sam or drg but more as a Ninja with more dashes I tend to play better.
@@Masietro That makes sense though I'd still say ninja is more tanky than viper meisui + huton let you get away with a lot more than snake scales imo and sukuchi is more reliable at getting away from big packs since no target requirement.
@@whodis3489 that's true but that's taking both youre mudras and makes you sacrifice your aoe damage for sustain and it works in a pinch but you're on cool down longer for damage Hmmmm Think of it like this you can't aggro solo as hard as ninja, if you've played sage, it's like that level of dive bombing Dash in damage dive out when you're semi solo , especially since you have Many charges you can act as bait with gaurd then redash out again. Technically allowing you sustain longer. But I will agree ninja when it flips to defensive is waaay more tanky Viper kinda flips it on your head. And you have to know your positioning well and enema positions more than other melees except maybe Sam dashes I would save it If
Viper is depressing to play in CC even when i use my LB they simply just run away even with my two gap closers LOL i hope they change them up to remedy this cause holy shit it sucks rather just be helmet and play DRG

For maybe a little better than Sam for overall job level in FL
