[b]Edit:[/b]if you're an experienced relic holder and want to help the beginners learn, and to show them it's not nearly as much pressure as they think, post your system and GT/psn in the comments. Let's make this post a pace to come to for help.
I did vog normal yesterday and when I got to the gatekeeper cp I became painfully aware of how scared everyone else was of using the relic.
I was getting the first one from Mars by myself, pretty much standard procedure, but three times I had to kill the second gatekeeper in Venus using just the relic and then stand in there waiting for someone to come in and pick it up. The one time I had people come in with me, two guys came in and when the relic spawned I sat on top of it waiting for one of them to get it and both of them sat there for literally 5-10 seconds staring at it before we were wiped by the oracle that spawns above the portal.
If you don't have much experience with the relic and you see that not many other people in your team do either. Just pick it up and give it a try, you might be amazed at how simple it is, and personally I think it makes things way easier. Massive melee damage and a super that charges almost immediately that's basically a precision nova bomb.
Edit: if anyone actually wants to practice relic, add me and I'll do my best to help you out. I'm on PS3 and my psn is same as on here. I'll also help anyone who wants to learn sword too.

In times like this, I usually go in first portal, come out with relic. Then drop it and let a teammate pick it up. I then will go in 2nd portal to grab the other relic. Allowing someone less familiar with it to get some experience outside of portal before the praetorians start to spawn seems to be a nice playground for them to learn on.
