Description

when using an instant spell at the same time as casting on my Valewalker, i begin casting 2 instances of the same spell simultaneously. If an enemy attacks me while experiencing this bug I can maintain a chain of uninterruptable casting.

Reproduction Steps

1. Be a Valewalker (at least level 5)
2. Begin casting lifetap on an enemy
3. Cast instant dot
4. hit lifetap hotkey before first lifetap has finished casting (ordinarily queues another spell)
5. you are now casting 2 instances of the same spell simultaneously
6. if you are attacked while experiencing this bug you are able to maintain a chain of uninterruptable casting

Intended Behavior

Using an instant spell while casting should not create 2 simultaneous casts, instead should occur instantly during the cast and another press of the non-instant spell should queue it to be the next spell cast

Evidence

Casting 2 spells simultaneously is not a valid mechanic and never has been, and you should never be able to cast while being attacked
