3. a troller bunny
4. Maurya - blaster
5. Fitheal McClurichaun - brute

* Team leaders

sign me up.. for now I will bring Doctor A Science- Blaster, am willing to change to any other archtype if needed.

Please sign me up. I'll bring my troller bunny again.

GATE-keeper - Inv/SS tank

I also have never done this one before

I haven't seen a COP on Infinity in months; which channels do you promote them on? In any case, I'd love to participate in one, and will almost definitely be online that night.

One question; I assume this is blueside?

Maurya - Blaster.

Another one who hs never done this one before (well, I was part of an unsuccessful attempt on Test, but that was still buggy).

Please, remember to include what AT and name of AT you will be bringing. Also, these Saturday events are promoted via this board, and on the day of the event starting around 12:30 EST I broadcast it. Those who sign up are guaranteed a spot. Check the boards before to see if there are spots available. Usually there are a few who do not show up, but getting a spot without signing up is a gamble.

Running these events is a challenge, but I enjoy it. Most folks are very kind to me, even though I get flustered. LOL

Which AT I bring depends on if this is red or blue... which I could have deduced from the use of Talos as a meeting place had I applied a modicum of brain power.

Which means I'll be bringing

Fitheal McClurichaun - War Mace / WP Brute

I'll try to be there with Screamin Adam, sonic/rad corr. Saturdays have been hit or miss for me lately.

Never done it before, but I'll make sure to read the guide

Gol-

Er... #5 and #6 on your list are both me. Crazy1van = player, Fitheal McClurichaun the brute = toon.

Here is a link to Amygdala's Guide to the Cathedral of Pain Trial.

I would like to participate as Pro-tector, a level 50 energy/energy blaster. Please add me to the sign-up list.

I have participated in four runs of the trial, including one on the test server. It's challenging, for sure.

Team composition is very important, as is strategy. Amygdala's guide covers both points comprehensively.

Let me add, during runs I participated in, success or failure depended on how fast the teams could process the spawns of Soldiers of Rularuu and Lanaruu. Tankers or other characters with taunting and aggro management abilities were very helpful in localizing the spawns, allowing the teams to defeat the spawns quickly and efficiently.

For the AV, debuffers were key: in particular, any powers that reduced the AV's health regeneration rate.

When I did my runs, a few months ago, teams relied on summoned pets including Vanguard HVAS units and Shivans for added damage output. (I'm not sure if those pets can still be used during the trial. But, Warburg missiles cannot be used--the ability to launch chemical, biological, and nuclear missiles was removed by the Devs.)

I'm not sure if I can make it to this. I have to take my daughter to the S.A.T.'s early in the morning and will probably have to pick her up just as you guys are getting started. I'll let you know if I can work something out.

Infinite Comedy (Ninja/Dark MM) will join.

I've not done this, as it's been offline my entire subscription. I suspect there is a badge involved, so please add my badger Myztar to the list of signups (lvl 50 Mind/FF).

I've wanted to try this one-I can bring Rawn (stone/ice Tank) or BFG Mark 1 (AR/devices blaster),depending on which you would like.

Put me down for a spot on a team. I can bring either Lady LaFey(sonic/dark/psi defender) Phantom of War(Rad/Arch/Dark Defender) or Colorado Blue(plant/TA/stone troller) all lvl 50.

Sign me up

Tsak Quortek (Elec/WP Brute)

Done it 3 times, once while it was broken on test and two failed runs on live. Stupid hurricane -.-

OK - we can meet in Pocket D.. much better that way. I never even thought of that. You are so smart Ironblade!

Actually, we still need to pick a side, because we have to enter someone's base to access the trial through their teleporter. If the base is for a hero SG, only heroes and vigilantes can enter and join. If for a villain VG, only villains and rogues can enter and join.

Well, the original post made the side clear when it was listed to start in Talos. The side has not been changed. It's a blue-side raid.

I'll be there with War Shield (MA/SD), Lockpick (DP/NRG), or Exorcist (ILL/RAD).
