"OMG WII HAB G0DM0D3 43\/3r LOLOLOLl0l0l01l1l1110101oneone"Vipers are unlike NightLords / Bowmasters, NOT dependant on HB (high hp), nor do they need constant healing from a Bishop. Besides that they do almost double damage of Shadowers in Super Transform (that is with 1on1 dmg) and besides that they have an insane RANGE with Demolition (TT/Hurricane like)...
Why compare apples to oranges people both sub classes are fairly badass, battleship has its advantages but for the most part it isn't a bossing skill. It seems more suitable to buff the captain in training considering their plethora of immobilizing and de-aggroing abilities.
When Vipers keep doing Demolition for 16 out of every 20 minutes, they also have godmode from their own skill (same as Boomerang Step from Shadowers). And since they will hardly get hit they won't need many pots, or healing from a Bishop...
That's why 6 Viper party's are VERY good possible, they just simply don't -need- any class to support them. And more party dmg / second = best for Boss runs.
Just see them as Night Lords with double HP and NL's having godmode while throwing Triple Throw...
If NL's would have had this at the moment, oh lord, save the drama that would cause... (VVTF!!! OVERPOWERED!!! NERF!!! NERF!!!)... :')
No really, I'm playing a lvl 160 Viper and Captain atm and testing it how they perform in different situations, and (sadly) I can't come to any other conclusion that Vipers will overpower and out-use any other class currently in maplestory. Captains are "OK" but not THAT godly...
But that's excactly why Nexon made them... Every NL-DPS-fanboy will needs to switch to Viper to be able to KS others again and be wanted at HT runs... and when all these people switch... $$$$$ for Nexon for the MASS 2x Exp card usage...
Nexon is so smart my friend... Just create a class that's a tad better then the current nr.1 classes and everyone wants to play it and Nexon sells NX $$$$ like it's warm bread....
