8 pm eastern, why not. 
It just might be a little early for the west coast crew: 5 pm there.

Good idea! I will start at 8 PM CST to make it easier for West Coast. CYA there!!

I can if its 8pm Eastern.
I need it on Ycebergg (ice/ice/ice tank) but I got the option between 2 rads if we really need it.
Wait, you changed the time, 8pm CST is what, 9pm eastern? It might be tight, how long does this trial take? I think it's timed for one hour?

The trial itself doesn't take long (when it goes well). Successful runs take around 15 minutes.
The time consuming part of this endeavor is recruiting, organization, coordination, and luck.
Initially, the teams need to be balanced so that taking down the obelisks simultaneously is easier. Also coordinating the teams so that they know where and when to go takes time. Otherwise, for the non-leader player who is just going along for the ride it's as simple as:
1. Follow the team leader.
2. Defeat these enemies.
3. Destroy this Obelisk.
4. Follow the team leader.
5. Defeat these enemies.
6. Attack the AV.
7. Repeat 5 and 6 until the AV is defeated.
The luck part comes into effect when you finally see which AV you have to face. The Storm AV (Lunaru?) is very difficult to defeat (I haven't heard of anyone defeating him), while the other (that I have seen, Ruladak?) is far easier.

Ok, Ive failed this twice so far, so pardon me if I'm asking n00b questions here, but is there more than one AV after the Obelisks? And 15 minutes, seriously!?!?!

On a few of the successful (and even the unssuccessful) runs, we got the timing on destroying the obelisks (Psionic Resonator) right on the first try. Total time spent there is less than 5 minutes.
We cross our fingers and then the AV spawns.
After going into the AV room, clearing the enemies can take a minute or two. And defeating the AV in one pass can be done in under a minute.
The rest is travel/buff time.

Aside from aggro management and debuffing, ranged AoE damage is probably the next thing that is required. I'd recommend bringing your fire blaster.

Yes, but unless I missed something, one of them is still attacking through their shield, correct?

Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.

The AV itself? Not sure, but I'm pretty sure he must not be too hot if the AV is lvl 54.
Last time however I seen to remember doing just fine against the Rularuu, as long as I keep EA up and my defense maxed out, I was plowing thru them. Plus Yce is an agro magnet that shines in mobs.

That is good news. I ask because I can think of very few tanks that can stand toe to toe with Soldiers of Rularuu (I should have been more specific in my previous post) due to the variety of powers that they can use against you; Defense based sets are weak to the Observers ridiculously high accuracy and most other sets are vulnerable to the Wisps psychic attacks. Having a solid tank, like Ycebergg, on one of the teams would improve the odds of success.

Hope it's OK that I'm bringing my tanker to this, since he's my badger.

Ycebergg has high defense, which helps out alot, but does fall a little short facing the Rularuu. However, I did build him with a good amount of energy and psi resistance, which probably explains how I managed to survive so well against them last time. I also have a ton of recharge, which allows me to take full advantage of Hoarfrost and Hibernate.
Mind you I dont wanna make it sound like I was unkillable, I did have a good team backimg me up!
I'm also ready to bring whatever fot the first run, if it will help. Got 23 lvl 50s on Pro, 22 of which are hero side. (maybe even more, I may have lost count LOL)

Will try to remember, have a bad memory about events like this. Name of character is Hypnagogia.
Unfortunately, I have to bow out of COH events for the foreseeable future, including this raid
To y'all, the best of luck !
