What determines a main spec?

[zanthor]

Whoa............it's a GAME

Get used to GL who do whatever they feel like, "it's thier guild" attitude prevails in WoW

It is a game.

It is however a game, based on social interaction.

If it was a guild run, then the guild sucks, move on.
If it was a pug and the leader just happened to be in the same guild and did that, then the leader is a REAL dickwad and the guild sucks, move on.

Either way pulling the boss was a real dickwad move, and negates any complaints you may have. The leader was a dickwad to you, the other 23 people weren't involved in the dickwaddery until you punished them for the dickwad raid leader.

Zanthor,

Actually a number of them were swearing away at my son, just because he had the audacity to question the loot distribution.

So there were a large number of (your favourite word here) dickwads in there. I've already stated that i regret what i did for those that took no part in it and wouldn't do it again given the same situation.

Seems like to me the issue is the guy told your son to go a certain spec, when your son refused(it not being his main) i guess he couldnt do anything about...at that moment. And when an item dropped for your son, out of spite he cheated him. That simple, its the nature of most wow players, its a game you cant "hurt" people so every oppertunity that comes around that can replace or facilitate that need wow players jump on it.

Out of curiousity was the guy who ninjaed the item a paladin too? If so then theres your reason. He prolly wanted your son to go a different spec so he could monopolize the item.
.

This guy was a paladin. He was after that item and tried to push my son into the role of healer so that he could then say he was holy spec. He did this in whisper. Wasn't asking for healers in the raid. So i am absolutely certain he intended this from the start.

LOL, I would have totally pulled the boss too. And then got on vent and annoyed the shit out of them during a boss.

Why would you feel bad about pulling the boss? Who cares about the other people in the raid, they're dumb enough to continue raiding with an asshat leading them.

Personally i absolutely support what you did with the boss pull 100%. A guy like that doesnt need to be a guild ldr, and i bet you anything his guild knows that. I think people who dont stand up to dickwad moves are worst then the dickwad himself.

Someone has to stand up to the asshats of WoW. Thank you for being one of them, it's too bad all you could do was wipe the raid.

If your son pugs a lot, it might be worth it for him to pay for a respec on each of his dualspecs. He could put his main spec first and his experiemental holy spec second. It's not your son's fault that the put raid leader was a ninja loot jerk, but it might be worth the 50 gold to give ninjas one less excuse in the future.

That's great advice. I'll suggest it to him.

it'll cost some glyphs as well but nothing too major.
