Reaper still good in Dawntrail?

[SecularStoner]

Can anyone let me know? Or is DRG better? Viper? A melee dps kinda person.

If you liked Reaper in Endwalker, you'll like it in Dawntrail, it's the exact same Job with minimal additions and changes.

Viper is Summoner but for melee, although it's even more braindead to play than Summoner. Dragoon is okay, but recently has become more boring to play. Dragoon is probably still the most fun of those three though.

Is Viper like a fury warrior from wow? Or something different?

Sorry, I haven't played that. It's basically just pressing the buttons that light up quickly. At later levels, you get skills that want fast inputs, but nothing hard to do.

DRG has always been consistently good.

RPR is still great, especially for the current ult.

VPR fell off a bit for this ult compares to others purely because of the encounter design. They were great during savage.

NIN and MNK are similar to RPR performance wise for this ult.

SAM is a bit of a meme, but you can make it work.

(All opinions were made with ult in mind, all are great everywhere else)

this game is fairly casual if your a good at your job youll do fine!!!!! no matter what it is.
unless your doing hardest current content and trying clear savage, ultimates, or what?
learn the dance body, there are tutorials on youtube?

All jobs are good and viable. Just like with EW, RPR started at top tier but has fallen towards the bottom of melee by being outbuffed. It's still super fun and satisfying to play, with minimal changes from EW's playstyle. Whatever's "better" mostly depends on what you like to play more and/or the fight encounter itself. Generally, VPR does really well in Savage but not as well in FRU. DRG shines in FRU, but not as much in Savage. RPR does fine in both.

Lies - Play Pictomancer or go tank/heal.

Yes, PCT dominates FRU, but DRG is the 2nd best DPS. PCT is actually out DPS'd by VPR, BLM and DRG now in Savage, however.

Of course, none of this really matters, since you can play any job as long as you play it well.

Hey bro, as a fury enjoyer I'll chime in:

Not rly. 14 kind of does its own thing where classes go down GCD combo railroads with little breaks by way of oGCDs and cooldown windows. All of the jobs are that idea done in different ways to greater or lesser extent

In VPR's case, it builds towards its cd window "quickly" (by 14 standards; for fury warrior standards it'd be glacially slow) and when in that window it feels a lot like combat rogue's adrenaline rush with a finishing attack.

GCD to GCD, VPR is the railroad idea except sometimes the railroad tracks will turn and you'll need to hit button 4 instead of button 2 in one combo, and button 1 instead of button 3 the next.

The only thing it has in common with fury warrior is two weapons imo. The thing that feels closest to a WoW warrior spec is Arms' colossal hits and WAR's colossal hits.

Lies - you can't play Blue Mage.

BLU isn't a job, it's a mini-game

[Naxthural]

I'm gonna be painfully honest with you. The game is easy enough unless you're doing Savage or Ultimates that you can pick either, and it won't be much of a difference. Pick whichever you like playing more.

eh? really? viper has positionals ... summmoner has no positionals.
so, you would need a few more braincells then for summoner unless you can deal with the dps loss. plus, you probably say that because you dont like the XIV combo on the viper class.

try it without it (since you can turn it off) and you have the same experience like with any other melee class.

The amount of people talking here that know NOTHING about the jobs are talking here rn LMFAO

[Frieren]

I find Reaper to be boring because like Dragoon it has slow skill speed, compared to other classes, and VPR is the most braindead melee class you can play. FF14 doesn't really have any fun classes to play mechanics vise.
