Patch 7.1 Notes: https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/topics/detail/9b42b2425f3a680caea3281ccd65c99677cb00e2#main_quest
I’m disappointed with the lack of Viper changes, here’s why.
This patch was supposed to bring other jobs to be “on par” with Pictomancer, but I feel like the changes barely closed the gap across the board.
Let me know your thoughts! I’ll be streaming the new Extreme trial over the next 2 weeks trying to get the mount, and then FRU when our group goes in on 12/7.

Awesome Video!! I was also really hoping for some sort of viper buffs but alas we weren't lucky. Great summery too of the overall important things added in the patch!
For Lvl 100 Viper I totally agree with you and your suggestions.
But for lower Level Viper I hope they reconsider the Leveling Process of it, because I think the problems arise more from that then potencies.
Not having Reawaken from the Start, Ouroboros not being a Capstone skill and the Legacies weirdly being locked behind the end hurts Viper way more (esp. Lvl 90 Ults imo)
Sure it's servicable, but like you said, it's a selfish melee and thats overall not a good look for it
VPR in lower level ultis (uwu, ucob, and tea) is an absolute joke. I don’t even play VPR and I want it to get buffs for this content cause literally any other dps would be substantially better DAMAGE WISE. Check the stats in FFlogs. The flaws are apparent
We will probably get another potency change for classes on ultimate week
they first screw VPR up removing the DOT. and now no buffs at all for it. its also a new job i really enjoy. am struggling compared to others. just as you said. i wont stop playing VPR. as am too attached to it. i just hope we get a buff for it
I still wish the two minute burst meta would go away. I want to have to coordinate buffs again.
I have a bad feeling viper is going to get the astro/monk treatment of being taken back to the workshop again.
On the scouting side of things, im happy ten chi jin no linger requires to be standing still.
viper was weakest? i thought it is one of the tops? oh well lol
