Big Hit Box

Here’s the deal. I’m breaking it here first because … because I love you guys, why else? You’ve followed me from Windfury Crits to Big Hit Box and to WoW.com. Blogging about Stoney and the life and times of Enhancement Shamans has always been and will always be my first love. And I appreciate your understanding as I’ve been quite silent the last few weeks. When you see this you’ll understand that I’ve been temporarily shirking my BHB duties because I’ve been doing quite a bit of writing, filming, and website building.

OK enough long winded intro…

My new project is a web-based reality series about end-game WoW raiders. It’s called Big Crits. And it’s about real people conquering a virtual world.

Monday Night Macro: PvP Edition

Tuesday, February 16, 2010 at 12:28AM |

Tonight I started back in arenas with Stoney. Our venerable 5v5 team, Mele Kalikimaka, is back at it again. Thankfully I'm playing with four of the most experienced PvPers in our guild; I'll definitely be learning from them as the season progresses.

In honor of getting back to PvP I'm presenting you with my #1 absolutely favorite PvP macro: Hex Focus.

Ask Stoneybaby: Lock, Stock & AoE

Sunday, February 14, 2010 at 10:52PM |

We've got a great question for tonight's post. It's something that comes up both here and on my WoW.com posts. It's one of those things that drives the competitive among us crazy. It is: the AoE meter. How do we max it? What do we do about? How dare Mages and Hunters top us? Or do we even care about it?

The answer is as kosher as Christmas.

Monday Night Macro: Feed your wolves

Monday, February 8, 2010 at 11:29PM |

Monday Night Macro is back and with a vengeance. A mean nasty vengeance. But then it wouldn't exactly be a vengeance if it was nice and sweet, would it? Didn't think so.

Tonight's macro is a simple affair but I'm willing to bet most Enhancers don't know about it or use it.

What is it?

Ask Stoneybaby: Totems totems everywhere

Sunday, February 7, 2010 at 11:03PM |

Welcome to another edition of Ask Stoneybaby. I'll be your host, Stoneybaby.

I received a lot of good questions in the last few weeks, of those I'm pulling a good one from a few weeks back for tonight's post. Reader Scott emailed me about totem management. It's a great question and even had a very catchy subject line (that I repeated below). I shot him a quick response via email but I'm going into much greater depth here, including the single greatest thing I did to improve my totem management.

Monday Night Macro: Shock Rotation

Monday, February 1, 2010 at 11:23PM |

Welcome to the inaugural issue of Monday Night Macro. Zaltu used to do a Monday Morning Macro and while the alliteration was much better, naming it as Zaltu did would require me posting on Monday morning. I don't want to post on Monday morning. Heck, I don't even want there to be a Monday morning, let alone be blogging during it.

Thus the Enhancement Shaman macro post is henceforth known as the Monday Night Macro.

Today I'm tackling the Shock rotation. As an Enhancement Shamans we need to use both Flame Shock and Earth Shock. We need to let the Flame Shock run its complete duration in order to get the full effect. Clipping more than 1 tick per FS will sink your DPS. Using a macro for shock management means and we don't have to worry about clipping and frees up some valuable bar space.
