I've been experiencing an annoying bug where my drain soul spell abruptly stops while casting for no reason whatsoever. I've been able to repeat this bug.
Explaination 1: I am using drain soul on Monster A. While in combat with this monster, another monster who is also in combat with me, Monster B, dies while I am draining Monster A. The drain stops regardless of the fact that Monster A had an unfinished drain in progress. Monster B's death triggers the cancellation of Monster A's drain soul.
Explanation 2: I am fighting Sartharion 3D. Shadron is my current target. He is currently at 25%, and I begin my Drain Soul spell. A friendly priest in my raid goes a tad too close to Sartharion's tail, and eats a fire wall while stunned. He dies while I am currently draining Shadron. His death triggers an abrupt halt of my Drain Soul.
Cause: Drain Soul is supposed to stop when your current drain victim dies or when it's duration expires. It is currently stopping when something else dies that is related to you/is in combat with you. This causes it to become unpredictible and risky, and I highly doubt this is intended behavior.
UI/cache/etc is not the cause of this. I've done tests involving individual addons, none at all, and even separate computers and accounts. The bug persists. Can you shed some light on this?
