FFXIV: Dawntrail Viper 1 to 100 Leveling Skills Guide

Patch 7.05: Noxious Gnash gone, replaced with a buff that means you just follow the glowey buttons for all combo hits. All potencies increased to account for No NG buff, and even buffed.

Patch 7.01: Range Increases to 5y for all Serpent's Tail attacks, Twinfang/Twinblood Bite, and Generations. Ouroboros did not get buffed.

New? Got too many skills? Made the mistake of using a level skip and have no idea what anything does? Just hate reading? Try this guide out!

This guide seeks to teach new Vipers how to Viper properly, without getting too deep into optimization. I'll be showing off and explaining some openers but not delving too much deeper beyond that and general skill usage. Endgame is a long way away and there's lots to learn along the way. Start slow and work your way up one skill at a time! Then, graduate to more advanced guides.
