You'll want to copy that list of eight a couple more times, DB.


SPOILERS AHOY!! Do not continue reading if you like surprises.












CoP trial can have up to three full teams of eight. And you need as many as you can get in those three teams because you have to take out three separate groups and the pylon they are guarding almost simultaneously (within 30 seconds of each other).

You'll want to have the teams fairly balanced on DPS and buffs/debuffs. Resistance is generally better than defense as rularu eyeballs have insane accuracy and some wisps' psy attacks bypass defense.

The two hardest parts are getting the coordination and timing down to get all three pylons within the 30 seconds. The next hard part is overcoming the AV's regen. Most AV's have high regen, this one has absurd amounts and a shield that periodically makes him untargettable and lets him get back to full health. If you don't have a lot of regen debuffers you'll want to have chemical warheads and envenomed daggers. I also find HVAs to be better than Shivans for this because they have a -regen attack and they prefer to stay at range.

Your melee characters might also want to bring some yellows as the AV sometimes uses hurricane and debuffs the hell out of tohit.

Yep, I am aware of that. I always start with 8 and grow the list from there.

Since this Tuesday.

Sort of. The Item of Power has been redesigned as an individual buff instead of an SG-wide one. Anyone who completes the CoP can choose to receive an Item of Power + 6 merits or a straight 10 merits.

The Item of Power given to the individual is random but basically the same ones from the original CoP. The first time you choose the IoP you also receive the Power Liberator Badge. The personal IoP buff lasts 7 days and then goes *POOF*.

What was interesting was that on another run of CoP (after the gracious Flea showed us how it was done) with the LoJ folks, we were better prepared to drop the AV. When we first went in everyone threw everything at him, including the kitchen sink.

He didn't even have a chance to get hurricane going and we dropped him before the first respawn came in, so the new folks were thinking it was quite anticlimactic. 11 minutes from beginning to end, although the gathering phase was quite prolonged for other reasons entirely.

Just remember that if you can't finish him before your buffs/temps/pets wear off that it will be unlikely that you could finish the trial without restarting.

Anyway, I keep hearing that the Aspect is actually 1 of several randomly selected. I'm pretty sure he was the same the first two times I did it, but I'm not so sure the 3rd time, since he dropped so fast.

Too many alts to list.
