Hello Fellow DKs, it's Imonáboat and I'm back for a 3.3.3 recap. What changed you say? Let's find out!
A Frosty Slap for a Frosty King
As we all know frost got big buffs in 3.3.3 for a list of them all you can check my
In building the guild of Big Crits I knew it had to be a Horde guild. Why it had to be so is a story for another time. But for now, let’s talk about changing faction, race, and gender. I mean, if you’re going to change might as well be big
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
Hi again, it's Imonáboat (notice the new accent!) now that I'm settled in my new home lets talk about 3.3.3 and how it affects death knights
Blizzard sensing that frost was being ignored and wanting to make our arena lives a little more miserable
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.
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
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
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
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,
ITS GUNNA BLOW!!!
Welcome back fellow Death Knights, I'm Imonaboat and with the impending release of Arthas let's talk about the ICC experience as a DK so far.
TRASH! How I have missed you - let me count the ways 1 pestilence 2 pestilence.....
Hello again, it's Imonaboat and I am back from my hiatus.
I was honored by my guild with the privilege of receiving the 1st Shadow's Edge and subsequently the 1st Shadowmourne. I have gotten countless questions about it so I thought that I would
You may or may not have heard the news: I'm now the Enhancement Shaman columnist over at Wow.com. I'm totally stoked to be on board!
I've been waiting for a Shaman spot to open up and was both excited and terrified when the spot opened as Resto/Enhance.
Shortly after this pull, and while busy pondering his love for trash mobs, Stoney got one-shot
Once upon a time, and for quite a long time, trash mobs were an integral part of every raid. From the gear-check guardians at the entrance to MC to the

Updated for patch 3.3:
Specs and Glyphs

Use Major Glyph of Judgement and Major Glyph of Consecration.
Use Minor Glyph of Sense Undead, Minor Glyph of Lay on
A few posts back long-time reader/commenter Phil mentioned he was going with an AoE spec for trash. I ended up pulling the plug on my dusty PvP spec and switched it over to try out Enhancement Shaman AoE. I cleared out the talents and respec’d to…
It's time for a nice long edition of Ask Stoneybaby. There were a lot of great comments in December with dozens of questions. I've also recieved a few emails, which I'll reply to you via email, then post here for the next Ask Stoneybaby. Today we're looking
Will Heroism/Bloodlust be replaced with craftable drums?
Have you seen these blue posts:
Re: Bloodlust / Heroism Drums?We’re considering it. There are two big considerations at play here. One is we’re unsure the buff
Ah the Enhancement Shaman spell rotation! We're up to 13 abilities already, can you believe it? If you really want to break it down you could add in wacky conditionals like LL_QE (if you have the Totem of Quaking Earth and want to set refreshing the buff
Patch 3.3 is a week old and there are a few minor tweaks to way we play Enhance. I ran some sims on Sunday night to get an idea what I wanted to do different for raids. I’m still undecided on one or two things but they’re mostly minor points
I was very fortunate to win a Battered Hilt in my very first Forge of Souls run. Inspired, I decided to create a screenshot montage/guide of my journey through the long quest line that is rich with lore.
I present to you Stoneybaby's epic journey

I find Stoney's first impression of ICC10 to be very interesting, because to me it was totally different! I actually thoroughly enjoyed the post 3.3 festivities, and really loved smacking the other melee
While real life was critting me in the face for 6 days, I either got nerfed or everyone else got buffed. Last night was my first night in a raid in a week and my first night in ICC. The guild was kind enough to leave 1 boss up for me. OK actually we didn’t
Season 7 is turning out to be The Season That Wasn’t. I’ve had extremely limited involvement in arenas and almost no BG time. I blogged about my disappointing end to Season 6, which in retrospect, can largely be attributed to specing into
Matthew Rossi over at Wow.com's Totem Talk got started on the itemization for Shamans in Ice Crown Citadel. He's outlined a few key points for us Enhancers as well as all Shamans, no doubt setting up for some more in-depth item discussion. My focus here
Ah Thanksgiving! I would rhapsodize poetically about the holiday, what it means to me, its historical significance and how last night is the second biggest party night of the year and how I was out really celebrating... but this isn't about me. This post
Major Changes: Scourge Strike Gets a Hug
Scourge Strike: SS is getting redesigned, thankfully. The new version of ss deals 50% of weapon damage plus 400 as physical damage. On top of that for each disease of yours

Ret paladin info doesn't have to be long and complex. Welcome to the Crib Sheet. Much shorter than my other guides, and the EJ guide. But packed full of information.

Custom UI's are a blessing and a curse. It can take an entire day to customize and then configure, you're constantly tweaking bits and pieces, and if a particular mod stops being supported then you're pretty much starting over. Once they're done though
Hi There! This is Imonaboat, the newest face to BHB, and today we are going to review the official preview of Shadowmourne has been released. Let's take a look at the weapon from a death knight perspective and the quests that will be involved in creating
We're coming down to the end of the line here for Patch 3.3. The major class changes seem to be done and now it's all tweaks to ICC and itemization. With the big Shaman changes squared away it's about damn time I posted on Enhancement in
