I was curious how many runs people did overall.
Since some people, including me, from the EU server, can get the 100/100 skill next week after the reset.
How far are you with this raid? Show us your progress!

Crazy, I know
96/100 this Saturday +sigh, Cant wait for the lag fest.
Same
I want to save story for exp when 95 comes out....
Haven't even stepped foot in a sinlge Neamhain, and I may wait till I have 95 gear so I'm not such a liability given no experience. 10/10
And of course mine is 0/100 too.
Mainly the reason why is work is consuming my life and I have no time to fully do 4 runs every week.
I pity you, most of the main carries will be at 100 runs by then and won't run Neamhain regularly anymore. You're going to be running with a lot of inexperienced or undergeared people as a result of waiting and have to learn it all amongst yourselves.
I'm currently at 91 runs (and alts are at 79). Less than 10% of boxes have a value above an Enthusiastic now that RISE has hit, so I'm also retiring from Neamhain once I have Full Force.
Ah well sounds like stats I won't bother to get then :>
Where's that second redeemers raid with 50k att cap Nexon?
I didn't think most folks did Neam for money or for the stats... Personally I haven't done even 10 yet.
(I don't think I ever did any run 100x except 1 or 2 runs in the early S1 content and that took me over 5 years to do. The last thing I want to do is burn myself out on Neam.)
Honestly the only reason myself and many of my guildies log in anymore as I lack the motivation to even afk for that event. Once these mains are finished, off to find another hobby till new content rolls around c:
Besides, it won't matter in the long run since DerpCat is so bad about handling stat-based rewards. We'll hit that point again where new players and casuals can't even complete missions, and they'll have to do another Rise! update that nerfs the rest of the game, and then a new stat similar to ATT Limit Release or +25 Enhancement level gets released in order to keep the power hungry interested in running content. To be fair though, it's not entirely the developers' faults that people are so hard to please; they tried inventing DMG Reflection as another way of rewarding people, but then the elite complained that it rewards people for playing poorly or that it wasn't enough motivation to run content because "I never get hit, so it won't be useful".
Also what that guy said is also true, most of the main carries will stop playing Neamhain after they got full force, maybe some will play with their alts, but if you are looking for carry, now its the time.
I have decent stats for it but I'm just not interested in it at all +this is the kind of content I would never run with ppl I don't know or dislike.
And also this,I did similar in the past when I was active and it almost made me hate the game/ppl for it,nope aint gonna treat a game like a job anymore.
I'm just not hardcore enough to be bothered by it and fun doesn't look like a nearly 1 hour raid in my eyes. But if you enjoyed doing it 100 times, good for you (no sarcasm)
Same here.
I might do it once i'm in that mood but i'm just lazy to learn another boss's patterns and constantly repeat them for half an hour or an hour. I might be a noob but a game for me is social fun not a sport.
95 has been out a long time in KR?
Neam barely and hardly got buffed* in RISE for KR and we got RISE... so... Yah so hard
They said they were planning on another redeemers raid so eventually she could be swept up trash...?
I don't mind working hard for good stats then learning boss so I can start new wave of carries? Those people carrying had to start somewhere.
If anything Neam might get nerfed cause hardly anyone would run her at all and she'd be labyrinth 2.0 if is so true that people won't bother ever once they finished meter.
There will be people trying to get Neam thing for Miri if they main her?
Many people didn't have stats at the moment because you needed fully enchanted 95 gear or +15 so once 95 comes out there will be new people running it- a new wave in a sense.
I believe you are right that her stats aren't getting changed with 95 gear. Like Niflheim, though, I expect her stats to be periodically increased. Her drops aren't worth continuously clearing her, though, and she might go the route of Charles Race/Thousandaire where no one runs her after acquiring the stats because the content gets swept behind.
There is a very big skill difference and work ethic from the carries versus everyone else. Most people I pug into, with 50-75 clears, still timer regularly before phase 3 even begins and don't put in extra runs each week to improve. I hear regularly within my guild how runs are already struggling on the public front when there isn't a carry there. The carries I know are often capping privately, and a lot of those groups are doing it with alts in the party which will be replaced with Miri when the time comes. The current state seems to be one or two carries are ensuring most of the week's boats are passing now, instead of 8 people "learning" the boss and evolving into carries themselves.
Neamhain already has been nerfed. The HP pot change made it much more casual-friendly, and people below 5 clears get three extra "instant" revivals now. Soul Fang and Succubus Fang heal you better. You have access to more HP to survive the "one-shots". New trans skills help burst through certain parts (on a lucky hit I can do nearly 15% of phase 1 with spear). Full force is around the corner.
I don't mind challenging bosses like Neam. My only gripe is that her stats are so high that I can't run her on my alts too and that she's limited to 4 runs per week. I've been getting so bored that I've been quitting Neam during the clear cutscene just so I can run more another day just for fun. >: [
