Viper
Job Fundamentals
Viper (VPR) is a fast-paced melee DPS that alternates between fast dual wield attacks and heavy hitting twinblade attacks. Its core gameplay revolves around the classic builder-spender playstyle, building gauge with its dual wield and twinblade attacks and spending that gauge on a powerful burst window called Reawaken. VPR joins the Melee DPS roster as a Scouting class, and therefore shares gear with Ninja.
Patch 7.05:
Noxious Gnash removed.
Dread Fangs, Dread Maw, Dreadwinder, and Pit of Dread renamed to Reaving Fangs, Reaving Maw, Vicewinder, and Vicepit respectively.
Several abilities had their potency increased to account for the removal of Noxious Gnash, and some were buffed even further than to make up for the difference. This resulted in a ~2.3% DPS buff for VPR compared to 7.01.
