There are also at least seven known standbys.

III. Strategy:
A. Courtyard of Shadows:
1. Gather with your team near obelisk and wait for other teams to ready.
2. Clear Rularuu spawn and drop the obelisk's shield.
3. Target obelisk and drop to 20% health. (There is a special pop up window for obelisk health)
4. Again clear Rularuu spawn and drop the obelisk's shield.
5. Target obelisk and defeat it. (Assuming all teams are on pace)
6. Once all 3 obelisks are defeated within 30 seconds of each other, the portal to the cathedral will open.

Some timing adjustments will likely be needed here, the key point is that all three obelisk be defeated at the same time.

B. Inside the cathedral
1.) Each team will be assigned a cube
2.) Teams will simultaneously begin assault on mobs at each cube. Once mobs are destroyed, shield will drop and AV will be vulnerable for 45 seconds. Mobs will then respawn at cubes.
3.) Each team must go to their assigned cube a fast as possible once the shield goes up and the Rularuu spawn.
3.)One melee toon to return to teams' cube slightly early to help localize spawns for quick killing.
4.)All -Regen debuffs on AV when shields drop!

C. Lanaru the Mad
There are two options for AVs in the trial, IF the much more troublesome Lanaru the Mad spawns a couple special considerations I would like to mention.

1)Ranged toons stay at range!
2)Ranged toons huddle together when shields drop!
3)If by 3rd shield drop it is apparent we are not making progress, I will call off trial and attempt a 2nd attempt hoping for Ruladak the Strong spawn.

OK, I tried to keep instructions short and to the point.

Timing is critical in this trial, need to make sure you are where you're supposed to be, and attacking the right things at right times.

Wow, that's a lot of Radiation there. Looks good.

If I can bring my Warshade, I would like to. Tried last time with him, and we saw it fail spectacularly. If you want more rad, I can bring my Ill/Rad controller. @Jazra

As an aside, what's up with all the blue-side CoP raids? I haven't seen a red-side raid at all yet, and I have a couple villians/rogues that I either have not or will not bring over to blue-side yet that would love to take down a demigod or two.

7)Fire/Rad Cont - uvee blaze

Hmmm, that's one of my alts, so I guess I'm helping out on this.

I'll be there!

Id like to bring my 50 fire rad controller

I would like to bring either my Fire/Kin Controller or my BS?WP Scrapper if there is room.

Just to remind Ryu I will indeed be present tonight for the CoP. Once again, I will be present for the CoP.



Lol

I just sent you a few tells in game, Ryu, but I'm guessing you were afk. Anyways, I didn't manage to bring Patriot back to blue side yet. If it's acceptable, below is a list of all my IO'd out 50s, let me know what you'd like me to bring for tonights CoP.

Citizen Beast - Tanker - Invulnerability/Super Strength
Justice Forge - Tanker - Shield Defense/Energy Melee
Mystic Fortune - Blaster - Electrical Blast/Mental Manipulation
Keen Marksman - Blaster - Archery/Energy Manipulation
Masked Falcon - Scrapper -Dual Blades/Super Reflexes
Justice Resolute - Scrapper - Martial Arts/Shield Defense
Arachnophobia - Scrapper - Claws/Willpower
Conductive Man - Brute - Electrical Melee/Super Reflexes
Chronocraft - Defender - Radiation Emission/Sonic Blast
Dr. Ulterior - Controller - Gravity Control/Kinetics

If all teams are full, will there be a team 4-6?

8PM est tonight huh?

Well I think I can bring my Ice/Rad controller Sick Ice again. Or I'll bring my Ele/Shield brute Bud Shields to help kill the spawns quicker.

- @Jazra & BigBud - We do have enough people for the trial. I am expecting that out of 24 people, some will not show, your welcome to come to pocket D and grab an open slot if available. already sent ya tell in game.

I guess we must have over compensated for debuff and ended up with a minor lack of damage?

Also, the fact that the second attempt began with teams 1 and 3 on one instance while team 2 spawned on a completely separate instance says a lot in regards to our luck.

Never-the-less, this was my first CoP attempt. Was a great learning experience. Thanks for putting this together, Ryu.

It seemed like there were numerous folks giving orders and very few following.
