They made Viper worse lol

It was never hard to play, it's just hard to understand from tooltips, and these new changes make it even more confusing to read. Rather than just "keep your [DoT] up," which happened automatically as you did your rotation, and fit the precedent set by other classes, now you have alternating buffs for half your rotation, which are also applied automatically as you do your rotation.

Gameplay hasn't changed at all, it just does the same thing in a more confusing way lmao

I tried it last night and just played it like normal, the only difference I noticed was after completing the usual 123 combo it now highlights which skill you should start the next combo with.
