Description

When a necromancer pet has its spell interrupted by a stun, it instant casts the spell upon recovery.(Haven't tested this with mezz.)

Note: This concerns pet spells, not shadecasts.

Reproduction Steps

1. Have your pet cast a spell
2. Let your pet get stunned while casting the spell
3. Observe as the pet insta-casts the spell upon recovery

Intended Behavior

I know this is intended behaviour for PvE mobs, but it shouldn't be for pets.
Can't find a direct reference to it, but that's how people remember it from live.

Evidence

People who played necro on live agree this is unintended.
I cannot find any other references to support my claim.
Perhaps some necromancer pvp duel videos could support it.
