    95% of the Vind population are casuals and don't got time to do Neam. Stop suggesting garbage ideas that we don't need like Hero mode Neamahain when 95% of the players die in normal neam while the remaining 5% are the actual carries.

    I don't know where you made up that magic number. But I do agree that the average user would need the 3x death limit + delay removed to even contemplate running a potential hero neam.

    In speak of which, I am working on this: http://forums.vindictus.nexon.net/discussion/11748/ , so those who haven't started their adventure with Sea of Reflection can get prepared better.

    What exactly would need a hero mode added to already an obnoxiously long and unimaginative raid with plenty of delay sensitive and bug prone one hit KO moves that act as cheap way of creating difficulty?

    Inb4 git gud/you suck/l2p etc. etc. I did over 100 runs, many of which I was forced to hard carry. I regret every single one of them.

    If you want to challenge just go in with fully enchanted lv60 armors. It will be exactly the same experience as if NoobCat were to inflate her stats.

    Tbh I still don't think it would be that difficult after some practice. It's basically the same as playing with some of the players that spin Neamhain like a top into half the team for every attack they try to dodge anyway. You know who you are -.-

    Not true, in fact most of the parties (even FFA) which I was entering did pretty good. Sure, it might take some time investment I agree, but that's the most interesting part of Neamhain. There is not much fun, at least for me, repeating something over and over again which you've already learned. That's why I've dropped Neamhain after 170+ runs.

    Anyways, to answer the OP... I think this would be interesting, fighting those two really looks challenging, but sadly I highly doubt something like this will happen. The only thing which I can tell you is to look forward to the next redeemers like me c:

    PS: Also for those who are new to Neamhain, SirRFI/Nocatia made a great guide for her. So people who don't really have time to learn it on their own can use his thread instead. I highly recommend it. http://forums.vindictus.nexon.net/discussion/11748/

    The fact that we had to fight both at once and they had no pattern sync would make it a difficult Raid.You can see her using the babylon gate and him using AOE attacks at the same time, this randomness could make the run almost impossible at some points. This is why it would be fun to have it as an optional "Hero Mode".
    And I agree that if DevCat were to try to make a "Hero Mode" they would just crank up her HP and other stats.. This is why I want to show a different way to crack up the difficulty of it.
    The bugs are not that bad for me at least, I rarely get killed because of one and also I don't think that the Raid takes all to long, with an okay party you do it in like ~30 min.

    Like I said before, if the patterns overlap it creates a lot of random scenarios. It would be a lot harder to get used to this randomness.. But yes ofc you could get the hang out of it after a lot of practice but it would still be extremely hard if not almost impossible at some points to dodge the 2 attacking at the same time.

    That looks like SO much fun because of the randomness involved. Imagine Gate and Neit's red AoE move at the same time! O_O

    Not that this would ever be implemented as actual content, but if Hero Mode Neimhain was a thing, I would totally do it just for fun. However, there are those players, myself included, that would need an incentive to repeat the raid for rewards worth going for (1-5M+ gold, high roll oranges from any Season 3 raid, high-enhanced Season 3 gear but no more than +10, maybe a special vanity item to be worn besides Neimhain's Odd Eye, etc). Normal Neimhain has the Full Force skill already, which I'm cool with. Let's make Hero Mode Redeemers a thing! :)
