Player Information
Raids cleared while current
Ulduar 10 and 25 i did everything up too yogg and had low percentage wipes on alagon.

TOGC 10 i cleared and 25 i had low wipes on Anub.

ICC 25 i have wipes on LK and dont think i ever got halion down.

BOT , BWD and TOFW i didn't clear i didn't take seriously so i couldn't even tell you what i killed.

Firelands again i wasnt raiding seriously so i couldn't tell you what i killed.

DS i killed all of the first time on 10 or 15% buff and cleared that with multiple chars as a tank dps and healer. Including did boosting.

MOP i didn't do any of the HOF , MSV or TEOS mainly because i hated the instances with a passion , so again nothing done there.

I managed to do 9 hc in TOT before SOO came out.

With SOO i cleared everything multiple times on heroic and then mythic , doing alot of boosting services.

(although it isnt raiding it might be interesting to you guys that i spent the majority of MOP boosting challlenge modes and did end up with server best times and such.

Highmaul i managed 4/7 before the guild fell apart.

Brf i managed to get 8/10 done before HFC came out.

HFC for now i have 8/13 done on the druid , id of cleared this tier already but due to the fact a family member passed away , i stopped just as heroic progress started , hence why ive not cleard it.
Guild History (please elaborate why you left)
I'm going to stick to late mop and wod guild due to the fact i don't want you reading the longest text message in a the history of your website! End of mop i transferred over too ravencrest to play with Civitas as a bear tank , I kill SoO and i was boosting it by the end of mop as the bear tank and also as feral dps. When it came to WoD i was promoted to officer of the range dps and also helped run the guild plus looked after the range dps whilst still playing a tank! By the end of highmaul i swapped to playing the hunter because it made more sense for me to play a range class leading the range dps , still as an officer aswell and still helping run the guild.

Civitas disbanded before we got into doing mythic BRF due to lack of recruits and just general lack of interest in the game from the majority of the members we had, i decided to take a small break from hardcore raiding and moved over to Ragnaros to play in a guild called Sanctified as my bear tank again ( my favorite thing to play ) before i once again agreed to swap to a hunter at the end of BRF to try and help the guild out when we needed quality dps who could actually avoid standing in things! I stopped raiding in June and havnt raided since due to the loss of a family member and the guild im currently in doesnt have a spot for me and isnt bothered about recruiting due to the farm aspect that HFC has now become.
Why do you want to join Omniscience
After speaking to your GM for a good hour over battle net a few nights agao , i can you guys share the same goals as myself in terms of world ranking and general attitude towards raiding in general. I want to clear content fully and then have fun whilst doing it. Which seems to be exactly what you guys offer and considering when you formed its defiantly impressive to see you doing what you do.
Why would Omniscience want you?
Hard working , dedicated player who knows what hes doing and is willing to do anything extra he can to make himself a better player. Constructive criticism is always welcome if someone has been playing a class longer than me or thinks i could benefit with a little word about x y or z. Also willing to spend extra time pushing for a boss kill if it means spending an extra hour in a raid.
Raiding Information
Give us your reasoning behind character choices (Talents, Stat Priorities, Rotation, Glyphs etc).
Ok so the talents for boomkin , which is what im currently playing are pretty simple apart from a few talents which you can play with. So with that in mind here goes!

Tier 1 i got for Displacer beast , mainly because i want to be able to move fast for something if asked or to replace someone for going into an archi portal at the last second on heroic for example , this means i can blink over there fast and do what i have to. If theres nothing like this on a fight i can go with Feline swiftness just to be moving faster , neither effects anything to much.

Tier 2 is healing and i honestly see no reason to go with anything apart from ysera's gift for this tier , its based on my max health and as a caster im at max health alot.

Tier 3 i use typhoon for this due to the fact none of them are really of any use , but knocking something back or into a trap can be useful.

Tier 4 Im using incarnation for this talent because i like the burst it gives me for adds that need to die very fast or need bursting down , like inferals on archi , the other option is soul of the forest , you cant really much up when you use this since its passive and it is an increase to damage constantly , but i think the controlled burst when i need it beats it.

Tier 5 i take vortex , mainly because on multi add fights its so much better than anything else , its also the best if i need to kite anything for any period of time , especially if i mix it with typhoon.

Tier 6 Taking nature's vigil , during my burst damage at the end of a fight in the last 20% the damage to the raid can be high if people have died or the boss is in an enrage , this will heal massively with the healing due to me doing good damage and burst damage in that phase.

Tier 7 Im taking Euphoria for this because i feel like i can use my starsurge to max output , if i didnt feel comfortable with that then id be using something else , this basically makes our eclipse cycle shorter meaning we can get back to lunar faster and do more damage.


Stat Prio , Mastery is the best stat for Boomkins currently. Mastery increases the bonus damage from Eclipse. This improves your overall damage because a Balance druid’s damage toolkit is modelled around Mastery. Effects are entirely passive. Mastery is very useful for its interaction with the rest of the toolkit. Balance druids need to stand still a lot.

Mastery helps off-set the penalties of forced movement by shoving more damage into passive effects, like our DOTs (moonfire and sunfire). Starfall is exceptionally strong, and is not improved by haste. Due to the nature of encounters, mastery is one of our most desired stats.

Rotation wise its pretty simple , you want to keep both sunfire and moonfire up on the target as close to 100% of the time as possible , then if in lunar use starfire and if in solar you want to use wrath. You want to use starsurge to empower your casts depending on which eclipse youre in at the current time , you want too use the empowered casts when your eclipse bar is on the way to maximum , if you miss them then wait for the next time round.

Open rotation , 2 secs you pop incarn , 1 sec you pre pot then as the boss is pulled you pop Celestial. Whilst celestial is active you want to starsurge on single target and starfall if on 2 or more. Apply moonfire on as many targets as you can (which also applys sunfire in celestial) Cast starfire twice and repeat with starsurge , when theres 2 secs left on celestial you want to re-apply the dots.

Once in lunar you keep moonfire active and then cast starsurge if you dont have lunar empowerment , then you use starfire and continue from there.

Once you hit solar you want to keep sunfire up (which lasts half as long) you want to then use startsurge if you arent solar empowered and then cast wrath and continue.

Glyphs wise i dont see many of them actually being useful for damage in the slightest , i use stampeding roar to help the group or myself move out of things quickly. I use moonwalking to gain more from ysera's gift and i use rebirth because its more useful to be ressed with full hp and mana.
Please provide any logs that are relevant.
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/rankings/character/7202210/latest#boss=0 thats my logs from everything ive done as a boomkin , im aware my mythic rankings are terrible and tbh i think i died on a few bosses , if you look at my heroic rankings for fights that ive not done as moonkin very often , youll see my rankings are decent , given decent gear from mythic bosses my damage would increase a serious amount.
List your max level alts and their raiding experience on these (excluding LFR)?
Goofles - Hunter , 5/13 mythic
Fluffygoof - Warrior , 13/13 hc
Retroment - Paladin
Snugglygoof - Dk
Sluttygoof - Monk
Fantazerox - Shammy
Goofmcgoof - Mage
Fluffehgoof - Lock
Rassygoof - 2nd Warrior
Stabbygoof - Rogue

All these chars are 100 , the ones listed as having exp are at the top :)
We need you to have one geared alt for splitruns. Is this possible for you?
In terms of gear my hunter is the best , being one week from full legendary ring and being semi geared but not enough for split runs , although with a run or two it would do good damage.
Screenshot of UI

Explain your UI and the addons you use for raiding.
Main things i use for raiding is of course my Weak Auras , which i track my dots , procs , trinkets etc with. Im also using deadly boss mods , skada , bartender and zperl unit frames. Mainly for comfort than anything else , self made ui also :)
Additional Information
Can you attend all of our raid days? Raiders are expected to keep +90% attendance.
I can indeed.
We use Mumble for voice communications and expect you to have a headset&microphone to be able to communicate during raids. Are you able to do this?
No issues with either.
