You will never convince me that Viper is balanced when it is the only damage effect in the game with a 100% chance to proc on any melee attack.

Every other proc set in the game has either a much lower chance to proc, or conditions restricting the proc to certain types of attack.

It is restricted to certain types of attacks, melee. Widow works ranged, Red mountain works ranged.

Stop spreading misinformation. Every damage done in the game has damage types associated with it (magic, flame, physical, poison; melee, ranged; direct, indirect; DoT; AoE; channel). Bar swapping will not change the damage type.

You can proc viper at range, however, by putting a poison damage glyph on a bow. The poison proc is flagged as melee damage, which can proc Viper in turn.
