Madcity’s Application To Zero Gravitas.
Hi everyone, this is my application to Zero Gravitas, I hope you enjoy it and thanks for reading it. I have made a previous application with my other character- Waghh. Just so you know im not applying with him, its Madcity I want to raid with.

Character Name: Madcity
Class: Rogue
Race: Undead
Spec: 51/13/7 http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-talents.xml?r=Runetotem&n=Madcity&group=1
Professions: I have between my characters- 450 Mining and Herbalism, 450 Jewelcrafting and Alchemy. JC and Alchemy on Madcity.
Armoury: http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Runetotem&n=Madcity

Raiding Times: I can raid mostly any day up till 24:00 on a weekday and on a weekend I can raid a few hours later than that.

My Reasons For Applying: For as long as ive raided I haven’t been lucky with guilds, I have always been declined because of my gear level or raiding times, or the fact that the guild is full on my class/spec. I am truly hoping Zero Gravitas can change that. I check your site regularly and noticed that you were recruiting the Rogue class. And another big reason for this application is my dad, Trollnumone has recently gained a trial with Zero Gravitas and while he is a nag, I would like to be in a raiding guild with him. Be it on your hands if you decide to split up a father and son…. *puppy eyes*. I am looking to join a stable and exciting raiding guild and see no better than Zero Gravitas.

Previous Guilds: I have been in 2 raiding guilds with this character, Shadowmane Tribe and The Invincible Heroes. I joined Shadowmane Tribe with hopes of raiding naxx and other lower content raids successfully, but their progression was too slow for me. So I left to apply to The Invincible Heroes. I went on a Naxx 25 raid with them and we managed to clear one quarter in three hours. While I have nothing against the guild, I just didn’t feel that type of progression was right for me. So here I am, guildless and living off pugs.

Gear: My gear is not up to Ulduar standards as of yet. I have some nice pieces and still some horrible pieces. I am aware I wouldn’t be able to raid Ulduar if I was to join you guys. I am hoping this will not be a problem soon though as I am finding pug raids all the time to gear myself up.

Raiding Experience: This is including Waghh AND Madcity’s raiding experience, because obviously I was playing on them both.

Classic WoW: Unfortunately none. I played the game at that time but never got to level 60.

TBC: This was abit better for me raiding wise. I cleared Karazhan, Gruuls, Magtheridon, ZA, 4/5 in TK and all except Archimonde in MH.

Wotlk: Naxxramas 10/25 cleared. OS 10/25 cleared. EOE 10/25 Cleared. VoA 10/25 Cleared. Ulduar 10- 11/14. Ulduar 25 5/14.

My Role in a raid: My role is of course to provide as much damage as possible. I do this using my 51/13/7 Mutilate spec.

My Rotation: I start most fights off in stealth, sprinting if I have to reach the target quickly. I use garrotte while in stealth and then as soon as im out of stealth I use hunger for blood. I then have one combo point from Garrotte as hunger for blood isn’t a finishing move, I use that combo point on slice and dice, I then use mutilate twice and then use envenom to refresh Slice and dice to its 5 point duration. I have the time to use Mutilate twice because of the talent overkill, which provides me with 30% energy regeneration whilst in stealth, and for 20 seconds whilst out of stealth (I can also use vanish in a boss fight for that buff). So, I now have slice and dice for 20 seconds, I use mutilate twice again and then pop out a rupture- this leaves me with about 10-12 seconds to get another 5 combo points from mutilate and use envenom to refresh slice and dice, it is usually cut very fine but it works.

Glyphs:
Major:
-Glyph of Rupture makes rupture last 4 seconds longer.
-Glyph of Hunger for Blood Increases bonus damage of HfB by 3%
-Glyph of Mutilate Mutilate costs 5 less energy.
Minor:
These are nothing to do with my spec; there are no good minor glyphs as far as im aware.
-Glyph of safe fall I can fall EVEN further: D
-Glyph of distract Increases range of distract by 5
-Glyph of blurred speed I can sprint on water, that’s pretty awesome tbh.

Gems and Enchants:
I have enchanted all of my “good” gear, this is due to tightness with money really, I have not enchanted most of my gear down to them being blues, if its needed I will enchant them but I really see it as a waste of money to be honest, as I am hoping to replace them soon. I gem all my gear accordingly, and this wont be a problem as I am a 450 Jewelcrafter.
I have used my JC dragon’s eye bonus gems for hit and expertise, as I am currently trying to cap them. For my normal gems I will be using the attack power + hit rating gem until I reach a comfortable amount of hit rating and start using attack power and agility gems.

Key Bindings:
I don’t use keys except for the first few number keys “1, 2, 3, 4, 5”- I usually click the rest of my abilities, this doesn’t affect my gameplay in the slightest, I have used this since I started wow and it wouldn’t feel right to use keybindings, I can of course start doing it if it’s needed, but I can promise it really wouldn’t affect my gameplay.

My interface:
I’m not big on addons, using only the simplest ones for my interface.
I use:
Bartender 4
RoguePowerBars
AtlasLoot
Questhelper
Ora2
DeadlyBossMods
Recount
Omen
Koordinator

I also have Ventrilo and Teamspeak and a working Mic :D.

Me and wow: I got into wow when Trollnumone bought a copy of it a few months after it was released, me and my brother played it mostly and we had a lot of arguments who got to play it, of course he won most of the time because he’s bigger :’(. I started off with a few dwarf hunters and gnome warlocks, getting to level 6 then being bored of the class. So I carried on making some alts on Runetotem and then finally made my warrior, Waghh- I really enjoyed the warrior class but was always too lazy to level him up – it took me till halfway into TBC to get a character raiding. So obviously I was behind everyone else raiding wise- so I did abit of Karazhan and Gruuls and Maggies until I decided I wanted abit more out of raiding, I applied to a guild on a different server and was accepted, so I transferred over to the server Nordrassil and joined the guild Turncoats. I had a lot of fun raiding TK and MH and ZA with these guys but unfortunately they lost a lot of members and just stopped raiding altogether. So I took a little break from raiding and levelled my rogue on Runetotem, I also decided to transfer my warrior back to Runetotem. I have sinced levelled them both up to 80- Madcity way behind Waghh to be level 80, but he’s there now. Im now a little tired of tanking after doing it for basically all my warriors life- so I decided to try out raiding as a dps with my rogue, and I love it, I find it much more fun than tanking and am hoping to find a guild where I can dps in top raids with great players, not including Trollnumone of course.

About Me: My name is Alex, im 15 years old and from St.Helens England. I don’t really like it here, but it’s ok. I’ve played computer games nearly all my life along with my brother and dad. I also have an Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii. As you can see I love to play games, but I also spend a lot of my times watching films. I also enjoy watching sports. I feel I could be a fun and useful addition to the Zero Gravitas raiding team. I also feel amazed ive wrote so much for this application :eek: .

Thanks for reading and I look forward to your decisions.

True this is my son - who obviously doesnt come to me for advice (typical teenager) or let me know when he is about to apply for a guild and use my name in that application.

For what its worth all I can say is that his character is obviously not geared for Ulduar but the player behind the character is very experienced in raiding and more than pulls his weight. He has shown a keen interest in becoming a better player with his rogue trying different specs and attempting to better his gear whenever possible.

As a father I feel that it is my duty to at least help him in this application now I know that I am still on trial and as such my request will carry no weight whatsoever but if Madcity were to be declined is there any way that it could be included as an alt of Troll's? so that he has the opportunity to increase his gear in a guilded environment (there are plenty of requests for character participation in other instances than Ulduar in guild chat) and that way his reputation can be scrutinised without full membership and then much later on he could approach the guild for a full membership.

I know I am sticking my neck out a little here - lets hope that future circumstances dont involve decapitation :goth:

Hi. I’m afraid we’ll have to decline this application. We only raid Ulduar at the moment, so we need a rogue who can jump straight in there with us. As you point out, gearing up via PuGs is pretty fast these days – feel free to re-apply once you’ve done so.

@Troll – no need to fear decapitation, but I have to say no. Our trial system has to be the same for everyone.

Thanks for the reply. I totally understand and will do my best to get geared and hopefully have another shot at applying, thanks.

Hi again, this post is just an update for the new gear ive gotten recently. Ive been working hard on gearing up and have gotten pretty lucky with it.
I have gotten T7.5 Shoulders, Helm and Chest. I have gotten the Wristwraps of the Cutthroat, 60 badges of valor. Hammerhead Sharksin Cloak, Ring of invincibility, both 25 badges of valor. Drake-Mounted crossbow, Heroic UK. Belt of the tortured, Dislocating Handguards, Sinister revenge all from 25 man naxx. I also have bought the Nobles deck- just waiting for the faire to come to town so I can get the trinket.
Im working on sons of hodir, atm im honoured with them, which gives me the lesser of the two enchants, doing my best to speed up exalted status.

Edit: Got fury of the five flights from OS 25.
Edit: Replaced blue boots with Dawnwalkers from naxx 25. And replaced last blue which was my dagger with Murder from naxx 25.

I have been dedicated to gearing up my character the past weeks and it has really payed off. Along that way I have learnt more about how my class/spec works. I feel that my application is ready to be considered once again (if thats ok with you guys).

Thanks

Hi Madcity - and sorry for the delay. After some discussion I'm sorry to say we decided not to offer you a trial at this time. We wish you all the best for the future and hope you can find a good guild for yourself.
