I’ve been preoccupied lately getting ready to move.
My company is being relocated to the Muscle Shoals/Florence Alabama area at the end of the month. Unfortunately, not everyone who works there new it. Because most of them were being let go.
There were about a dozen of us that had been quietly invited to relocate with the company. We’ve been having after-hours meetings for weeks discussing the move and many other details about our company. Who else do we want to invite along, who should we definitely boot, how should we better handle situations that haven’t been handled so well in the past.
See, the company I work for hadn’t been doing so well. Mostly due to problems with the leadership (read: greedy, unscrupulous owner with terrible business sense and shady business partners). So a consultant was brought in to see if we could get pointed in the right direction. After about 8 months, that consultant ended up buying the company - at a bargain price no doubt.
Among the first steps in the long term plan is to purge about 75% of the employees and relocate. The previous owner loved to throw bodies at problems whenever they popped up, so we were severely overstaffed. Most of the layoffs are already done (there were a handful who were asked to stay until we move) and we are down to about 40% of the staff we used to have. And all of the work is still getting done.
So that is the main reason for the lack of action here. I have been busy tieing up all the loose ends here in Florida and making weekend trips to Alabama to find a place to live. Secretly.
I payed my deposit and signed a lease on a townhouse last weekend. I’m going to start packing and disassembling everything this weekend. I may make a quick trip next weekend to score the key to my new place and get the utilities turned on.
In the mean time, we did manage to kill Fathom-Lord Karathress. We had just killed Leo (with only 22 people in the raid to boot) and since we had never bothered to even go look at Fathom-Lord or discuss strategy before, the guild leader wanted to call it an early night.
I convinced everyone to carry on for the few more trash pulls it takes to get to Fathom-Lord (well, most everyone wanted to do it anyway, I just had to convince some of the other officers that we would be fine). The other officers and I briefly go over the strat in O chat and we give it the old dry run. Kill order is Hunter, Shaman, Priest, Karathress. When the hunter summons his pet it immediately gets away from the hunter tank and choas ensues.
“No big deal. It was a dry run. You all see how it works though? Ok, lets do it one more time.”

Try kill order Shaman, Hunter, Priest, Karathress… it is much easier. Make sure totems are being dropped fast when killing shammy, have a well geared feral druid tank him if possible. Have a tank for each hunter and pet unless you have a prot pally that can handle the damage from both. Have the Karathress tank move him away from totems that spawn after you kill shammy.
We went to this strategy after trying the other order first and we promptly 1 shot him.
Oh, and gratz on the kill! :)
Thanks :)
