Biggest Troll on the forums? I'll give you a hint:

If I decide to Go complete hero, with my MM by then. I'll go, otherwise, I'll wait til someone works the kinks out while I get other badges.

That's 3am to me.

Stick me down as an alt please with Capa (stalker) I'd like to run it only for the badge but if I'm asleep, I'm asleep.

I'd like to bring m'main badger, Dash Bleu (lv.50 ma/sr), for this. : )

EDIT: Ack -- nevermind, Ariel: found out I have to be somewhere Friday night. Looking forward to hearing how this goes for y'all, tho'.

You sure about just one team? I've been in the CoP in beta, and the 'experts' there say we need 3 teams to take down the 3 obelisks at the same time and defeat Rularuu, all under 1 hour.

I'd like to take part, but I think more research is needed.

I have several 50s to choose from.

What zone will we meet in? I'm thinking Pocket D...

I can join you all for this. I prefer to use La De Da (Kat/Reg Scrapper), but I can bring my other alts Kat (SS/Inv Tanker) or Fujiko (Mind/Rad Controller).

Forgive me for this, but I'm going to hope that you all don't get started on time so I can join that Cathedral Trial! >.>

I won't be able to be on till more like 8pm Pacific, probably a little after. Don't wait for me, obviously, but I kinda hope I can join ya for it!

CoP Over. It failed. Miserably the first time, not quite so bad the second.

The first run, we were totally out of synch. I think the biggest problem was the fact that even though there are 3 markers on the map for the Pillars, you can not click on them and see what one is what. Add to that the fact that the pillars spawn in a random location every time you run the CoP, and that's just a steaming pile of ********. We ended up with 2 teams on the same pillar, and didn't realize it until after we started.

However, lessons were learned from that first run. We never managed to get all three pillars down. The second run, we got them down within... 10 mins, I think it was.

And then Rularuu kicked our *****. His Regen was retardedly high. I think he surpassed the retarded Regen of GMs back in... I7, was it? Or I8? Even Shivans and Nukes had no effect on him. Someone mentioned that they thought there were multiple versions of him, and this was the Retarded +Regen one.

Here's hoping we get him next run!!

Start organizing, pixie!!

I'll be happy to join in next run. I ran one last night as well that was similarly fated. First run, we were set up fine but one team was always way more efficient than the others so we had a hard time getting the pillars down at the same time. After spending time failing, we found out the hard way that you cannot restart the trial until the timer expires. Once we restarted, we found out that sometimes the trial likes to send the 3 teams to different mission maps, and therefore the second run was not possible to complete. At that point, I mapservered for about the hundredth time and gave up trying to log back on.

@Rorn ---- Blue Baron ---- Guardian

Coordination is defiantly key for this trial that is for sure. On our second attempt at the AV I used the MkIII temp on him to check his stats out. He has a 576 hp/sec regen rate and 10% resistance.
That being said each team should have at least one rad to keep the -reg buffs up when the shield is up and we are clearing the mobs out again.

Some one after the raid told me a team with six rads and two darks makes it easier to take down the AV. I also think one bubbler on the raid team will help out as well.

It is possible to take the obelisks down in one pass if everyone is in sync and once the barrier drops everyone focuses on the obelisk and ignores the Nat's.

I'd like to thank everyone who participated and a special thanks to Armage and Mind Over Matter for joining my Super Group so that we could have three teams going.

Good plan, Ulli!!

Have some reward cookies!!

Biggest Troll on the forums? I'll give you a hint:

I just realized that I couldn't join this. My main and my badger is a stalker. She is currently Rogue and can't enter the SGs.

Which adds one extra level of suck to the way they've implemented SG/VG entrance in this issue for Vigs/Rogues.

I wish you all the best of luck but it looks like I'll be waiting for the redside running. Or for someone to realize how dumb it really is that Rogues/Vigs can't enter the base of a team-leader when on the other side.

(Unless this works like a co-op TF like ITF or LG?)

I've got a 49 Fire/Rad 'troller for the next time the opportunity arises. Redeeming Fire. He survived my 'Guardian Purge' (moved almost half my toons to Champion).

I'd like to get in on the next Cathedral mission if possible. I have a scrap that's only level 39 as I type...but perhaps will be higher up by the time the next attempt is set up.

Okie dokie for me to run another attempt I will need two volunteers to join my SG to Captain the other teams. This is so everyone can gain access to my base. I know I've been lazy recruiting new members.

Anyways a quick run down on how I plan to run this.

Once everyone is in the zone all teams will group up at their assigned obelisk. Once all teams are at their obelisks I will then call out for the teams to buff up. Once the teams have buffed I will give the go to attack the guardians and take down the obelisk. I do not see a need to take the obelisk down to 30% and then make a second pass to finish them off. As long as everyone focuses on the obelisk then they should be able to take it out in one pass.

Once inside the CoP we will wait at the door. I will then call out for buffs. I'd like everyone close together for this initial part so that we have the maximum effect from all of the buffs. One [Biological Mutagens] nuke will be good as it will boost everyone's regen and dmg output. Once the buffs have been given I will then give the teams the go to clear their stone. Once your stone is cleared assist any team who is still battling their spawns.

We we move to the AV, the taunt tank should be on one side and everyone else opposite the taunt tank. The debuffers hit the AV with their debuffs. At this point NO NUKES!!. Every time someone has set one off it looks as if everyone is getting lagged out by it. Shiven are ok as are other pets.


Before the run make sure you have/do the following:
1) Join the Guardian CoP Channel
2) Have a Shiven (optional)
3) Have a Biological Mutagens (optional)
