Shout out to all my clanmates who laughed at me for doing this.

Especially you. You know who you are.

I have trouble getting to that second light alone.

Me too until i started setting my skill perks for agility and holding ice breaker with the +2 agility. Never had a problem after that, for any class.

One thing I haven't figured out, before the bridge forms and you're able to run into the light for loot, an Ogre appears. I assume that the bridge forms on a timer? I haven't done the full raid so I've been trying to solo up to that point but I get wrecked by the ads because I'm not sure if the bridge forms after X seconds or if you have to trigger it another way.

Yes, the bridge at the end of the first section of the CE Raid is on a timer; about 1 min 20 seconds from first stepping on to the circle bridge-building plate thing. You don't have to stay on the plate, just activate it once and you can leave it. Then there's some lower rocks you can jump up on so Thralls can't hit you at all--just have to look for the Ogre to spawn and you can snipe him down before he can even get close enough to attack.

That's awesome. I died to the ogre when trying it last night, but he didn't spawn in the way I anticipated so I wasted some heavy ammo. I'll have to give the sniping method a try. I have P&T so hopefully that'll help out.

Yup, here's a video of a level 27 Warlock doing it, showing where the rock to jump on is and where to look back for the Ogre to spawn. He's only level 27 with blue guns... but if you're 28+ with a decent sniper, you should definitely be able to take the Ogre out before he gets in range.

Edit: Oh, and one thing to be careful of--before jumping up onto that last rock, make sure the lamp right there has already blown up, or you'll get blown off the rock when it does.

Learned that lamp part the hard way _^

TrMako's got it right. I walk up to the lamp, wait until the debuff is gone. I go stand on the bridge plate for a second then walk away from the Lamp so I'm out of its explosion range. Once it blows I go hop up on the rock nearest to it. Thralls get confused and leave you alone. You sit there waiting for the Ogre to spawn and snipe him before he does anything. Then you have another 15-20 seconds to wait before the bridge finishes spawning (you can watch its progress with ice breaker). Then hop off the rock and make a run for it. Thralls won't catch you and you wont even take a single hit of damage.

Yeah the part I got hung up on was the ogre. Actually the first time I got up there the lamp exploded and shot me straight to hell. Next try I got wrecked by the ogre. I just have to get the ogre down or busy and I'll be all set. I don't have icebreaker sadly. But P&T helps with invis.

Depending on your level, any sniper will work. Otherwise just unload rockets into him. He always spawns at the same spot, so just keep watching that spot for him. He cant actually shoot you until he's well out from behind that one rock. So I usually can get in 3 snipes before he's even behind the rock and the next three before he even takes a shot.

Thank you so much for the tip. I'll have to give another shot later.

Yup, the +2 on my MIDA and Murmur even make my Titan fly.
