Major 7.05 Changes: - Noxious Gnash has been removed - Dread Fangs, Dread Maw, Dreadwinder, and Pit of Dread are now renamed to Reaving Fangs, Reaving Maw, Vicewinder, and Vicepit - Steel Fangs and Reaving Fangs now grant a buff that'll buff the other one in the next combo. Basically the same as the combo finishers but combo openers as well.
Yeah, I can figure most of it out on my own but like a quick TLDR on how all the buttons work so I can lay out my initial keybinds. These videos are perfect for that
thank you for being the only person who does this that actually explains buttons and how and why they follow into each other instead of just steamrolling you with a dumptruck of jargon and rotation talk without ever actually explaining the flow of the gameplay
OMG Thank you!! Just like your Dragoon guide help me floor tank less - this helped me better understand Viper so that hey - it's not as daunting anymore! Please make sure to take breaks and rest between videos - but keep em coming!!
A pretty basic rotation will be 111 for your first combo, 221 for second, 112 for third, and 222 for fourth, and then repeat, weaving Death Rattle between each combo. Then the Dreadwinder combo will be Dreadwinder, Hunter's Coil, double weave Twinfang Bite and Twinblood Bite, Swiftskin's Coil, double weave Twinblood Bite and Twinfang Bite.
Yeah it’s honestly not too hard to be a passable viper as long as you remember to land your positionals. The combos seem complex initially, but once you get your hotbar set up in a way that makes sense to your brain, it’s not too terribly hard to get used to.
@@TheRilvenar The second ability determines the positional. So first combo will be flank, second rear, third flank, and fourth rear. Viper is basically switching back and forth between flank and rear combos.
My first impression of Viper: "you press one button and another one starts to glow. So you press the glowing button and then fourteen buttons starts to glow..." I still feel to dumb for this job, better stick to whm, rdm and smn xD
Great guide, but didn't Yoshi-P say they were going to be making adjustments in patch 7.05 at the end of the month? I assume those adjustments will change how VPRs rotation works at least somewhat.
This was such a helpful video, as I unlocked both VPR and PCT and focused on Picto for the most part. Coming to VPR and having no clue what any of those things do, I really appreciate this guide is it's quite easy to digest. Thank you for your hard work friend!!
I’m new too ff14 content so I don’t really have much to compare it to but it’s just an excellent guide easy to understand that give you all you need to know to start, its just really well made. 👏
You lost me in the first seven seconds. As much as I love SAO.... "LLOYD IRVING IS THE ORIGINAL DUAL WIELDER. FUCK OFF WITH THAT KIRITO BULLSHIT." [sigh] Out of my system. All good now.
I feel like this can be summed up even more simply without all the move terminology. You have both a single/aoe combo series for separated swords and a single/aoe combo series for the twinblades (except this starts with a cooldown). Alternate combos to keep your haste and damage boosts up and just do what the game suggests. Use the twinblade combos when the ticks are up. Isn’t that all there is to it at 80?
Megastar, will you be redoing this video after the new changes? I tried to watch this while just starting to practice it and I couldnt even find the first buff you were talking about. So once i figured out it was changed, it made me realize this may be out of date too now.
Keep it nice short and simple i love these videos if the toxic hardcore want a 30 minute video let them watch the others guide that is already long in length
This is great! Makes viper feel less speratic. I need a controller guide for this class though, It can be a hassel to find the right button combo to execute everything, especially since its spread across so many different buttons. If it wasnt for the combo auto-changing, I dont think this would have been possible otherwise.
I love how they built in the equivalent of Death’s Design (Noxious Gnash) in the combo rather than as a certain button, given all the Reaper’s actively choose not to upkeep let alone even apply their big debuff. This job plays itself while looking stunning.
Jesus and I thought RPR was convoluted... Man, this is why I don't like the new jobs starting at such a high level, they throw too much at once at you. Thanks for the simplified guide I'm sure I'll figure it out eventually lol.
I picked up Viper last night & the tooltips + changing buttons were a little bewildering. I was worried that I would never figure it out, which would've really sucked cause I've been super excited to play this job since its initial announcement, but you summed up the skills and combos perfectly! Thank you so much for the great guide!
I love the aesthetic of viper, it is fun right now … but I feel like the simplicity of the job mechanics may get boring quite quickly. I wish that we had to think just a little more about which abilities to use or forward planning of abilities. Just a little more complexity. I may end up swapping back to ninja at some point.
Thanks for the great guide! So… does this mean Viper had 0 damage mitigation or utility for the party at all? I’m so used to on other dps hitting my defensive on aoes that it feels weird when a boss does its attack. Also too I feel like I have nothing to do when I’m dodging mechanics out of melee range other than just spamming my ranged attack.
So thanks to this video and the line of you basically just push the flashing button really helped lol. I had been finding viper to be completely nonsensical and while it's definitely weird compared to other jobs I'm kind of getting it now
Something that helps me mentally keep track is something I noticed during my level grinds: Flankbane attacks will always correspond to the same Hindsting attack. So Flankbane's Fang will empower Hindsting Fang and Strike will empower Strike. Hindsting will empower the OTHER Flankbane attack. So if you use Hindsting Strike then your Flankbane Fang will be empowered.
Hi, it really helped me understand the new Job a lot. If you can, please check Ninja, its not so difficult once you understand but it can be daunting for many with the ninjutsu combinations
Good way of starting high level jobs like Viper is going to low level dungeons like copperbell with npcs. Get a first feeling for elementary apilities and then get familiar with higher skills Also you can sort the hotbar step by step
Even an idiots guide recommends to avoid using the Gauge in combat. Good. I felt like an idiot trying to figure out what moves to use on a training dummy.
Something tells me this is the easiest class to learn and yet I’m so completely confused by it and can’t seem to grasp it. Maybe reading too much into it?
oh htank god a guide for this class, I can not wrap my head around having only 2 buttons for my combos but those 2 buttons being combinable in like, a bunch of different ways/orders
when i first got to vpr i could already say that i would only properly understand all the shit going on once Megastar dropped the guide and yes, i was right
@Paradoxikality after a couple alliance raid I started to figure it out. It's the dreadwinder burst ones. I'm on controller. My dreadwinder burst is on the d pad lol
It's really easy to get into actually. And all the classes are completely different play styles. If you try free trial, I recommend you start out as a Lancer which eventually becomes the Dragoon job.
