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.
I honestly appreciate the non-in depth version. Its like a quick tldr ver that doesnt melt mah brain
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
Hey, I almost called the opening word for word! I used Edward Kenway in my version, though.
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!!
Short and to the point. Best guide I’ve seen for viper to date.
Excellent guide as always! Really look forward to your videos!
Thumbs up earned by showing me which Awakening buttons will morph into what, which helped me finalize my hotbar layout in advance. tyvm! o/
10/10 quality video. I really liked how you made things more understandable by arranging the buttons in a way that made sense on screen. Subbed!
Heck yeah!
Been waiting for this before I put together a hotbar for Viper.
You dont need to, just press one skill and done.
The boss just dies
this is probably the video i was waiting the most 😂❤
I appreciate this video. After watching lots of videos I finally have an idea of how Viper works with this one.
The short version: just hit the skill that's glowing.
It makes every decision for you!!
You actually made it look very simple! Nice! I wish I could level it up at the same time as my Picto cause both are so cool and fun!!
Thank you. This guide gave me what I needed to sort the hotbar for this self-eating spaghetti monster of a class.
Man i was waiting for this since early access Thank you, also me "That took you long enough" :p
YES I was waiting for this
Very nice vid.
That legally distinct Starburst Stream looks super cool too.
Wow you made this quickly. And you made it clear to understand.
OMG YAYYY THANK YOU CUZ I WAS CONFUSED AND COULDNT UNDERSTAND OTHER GUIDES
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.
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. 👏
Lala Viper reminds me of Yoda. Just bouncing all over the place and cutting things up.
Fantastic guide plz make more for all classes.
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
I'm been having an absolute blast playing viper once I got the hang of it
thank god you were quick with this viper was giving me anxiety
FINALLY A GUIDE THAT MAKES MY DUMMY DUM DUM BRAIN UNDERSTAND HOW THIS JOB WORKS!!!
I was waiting for this video
My brain is still in "lotta buttons, spam them" mode
omg thank you been waiting for this
trying to make a controller crosshotbar setup and the tool tips have me so confused
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.
Watching the Potato tweak out during Reawaken is funny
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
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.
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.
Great overview! I'm curious how many takes it took to get all the ability names correct because I'd be a tongue-twisted mess.
That was helpful, dude!
I'm lvl 100 viper already and have got it pretty down, still gonna use this though.
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
YES! I was thinking barrel of monkies too! Glad I'm not the only one haha! :D
OMG YOU DID IT IM SO HAPPY
You sound like a real life Lalafell.
/bow to you, good sir.
Best viper guide so far
Lala back in action!
HELL YEAH
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
With this guide i could actually see that a play a GAME .. thanks
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.
Hey you misspelled detail in the opening disclaimer
Where do I get those glasses!? 👀
Something else for you to not unsee.....the job stone looks like a steak
"I WANT A GOD DAMNED STEAK!"
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.
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?
Yup, Kirito will be everywhere now.
So will Edward Kenway.
Judging from how consistently my pots of black paint is selling, yea
Rather be Drizzt or Serge. Kirito is overrated
@@IaconDawnshire Drizzt for sure
Or Zidane. Or King Bradley.
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
thanks. I will guide all the vipers i meet that i dont even see put the "debuff" on
so 0 then? The only way to not get the debuff up is to just press 1 and nothing else, feel like you're chatting shit for the sake of chatting shit bud.
Yeah my sis was pulling her hair out XDDD she was like ITS PRACTICALLY IMPOSSIBLE NOT TO HAVE THE BUFF ON- and I agree but yeah. indeedy i saw it with my own 2 eyes
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.
Gonna need to update this soon. According to Yoshi P, its not idiot proof enough.
the upcoming limited job beast master seems more interesting.
Thank you for these guides because I'm an idiot.😂
I will stick to my Dragoon, because it seems I'm too much of an idiot to learn Viper.
I wanna play this game but I’m scared there’s so much that’ll be thrown at me that I’ll get overwhelmed.
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.
idiots guide for kirito has happened thank you
An even easier guide: Know which skills are AOE or single target as starter and then press the things that light up.
waiting for pictomancer video :3
I kind of need updated idiot guide for monk 😅
Monk is getting fixed in a patch soon, so it will have to wait
hope u do picto next
It's the positional that give it headache for me lol
Just remember that green icon = flank and red icon = rear. And they will always alternate.
@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
Hehe ‘deatil’ in the disclaimer
yay
Ok, Viper is now the second job i simply dont get beside Summoner xD
Maybe its because i'm trying to understand something, that doesnt exist =P
Dude... Summoner is easy to play tho... T^T
Rotations please
Those generation weaponskills really cement how you will look like a Kirito wannabe
Why is this getting changed? It looks awesome...
Instructions unclear, became a Weeb by accident
I tuned into your stream and then I saw you weren't a Lala nevur4get
TLDR : PRESS SHINY BUTTONZ
A controller friendly job maybe?
This is like the easiest class in the game for me lol I literally call it the melee dancer
I've never seen a class doing so much to do absolute garbage damaged compared to other classes.
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.
try saying some of those names 5 times fast lol fuck its a tongue twister
HELLO!!
I would like an idiot proof rotation for sure
All the guides talk about how easy this class is but it’s literally not. The button placements are awful on a controller feels awful no matter what I do
skill issue
i suggest putting twinfang and twinblood in both your single and aoe skill areas to help with the back and forth
other than that idk what to tell ya lol
@@XChronicHash this game is skill based to you? LMAO
@rocksocks22 I'm also playing on controller and I don't have any issues.
Sooo i didnt wanna point this out but my ADHD told me to. When you did the disclaimer, you spelt detail as " deatil "
This class has so much going on for no reason. It’s a mess just like picto. They both just suck.
This was all Spanish to me. Too complicated for my smol brain. I don't like this class.
So MNK is a dead job bc of the dreaded upkeep for the rotation and they made this job almost the same 🙄😒
I agree they made monk less flashy and less fun to play...
great.... another melee as if queues don't take long enough... ffs this game is so shit.
Still doesn’t make the game any good. Sony has stopped refunds after being flooded with requests. This game is turning off players in droves.
No idea what you're talking about lmao
