I have been playing FFXIV since Shadowbringers and I have never once considered stopping. On the lead up to Dawntrail I was so excited to try out viper and talked about it so much that it became a meme in my friend group that they made the class for me. When i finally got my hands on it during early access I couldn't have been happier, I had found my class that I really wanted to main after spending so many years bouncing between classes and never really fully finding my "canon class" for my WOL. Viper made playing this game more fun than it had ever been for me.
Unfortunately I woke up this morning to see the patch notes and found my favorite class to be gutted of all the things that made it unique and fun. The job has been reduced to nothing but switching between your two combos with no thought. It has become melee summoner levels of thinking required. It was a gut wrenching feeling upon logging in and trying it. I had found my favorite class in the game and I barely got to play it for a month. There feels like there is no nuance to the class, rather than adjust the positionals (which also wasn't needed but that's besides the point) like they said they would they reworked the whole class into nothing.
I hope this gets rolled back. I am unsure if I will unsub over this, it may be a knee jerk reaction. Then again this was clearly a knee jerk reaction to rework it.
