Mind Control Bug

There’s currently a bug where if you mind control an NPC which has a spell with the same name as a spell that you have, your macros for that spell will be broken until you relog. For example, as a shadow priest whenever I mind control the NPC shadow priests in Shadow Labs who can cast mind flay, my mind flay macro will be broken after the MC ends.

How to reproduce:

  1. Make a macro that involves /cast on some spell
  2. Mind control an NPC with a spell of the same name

Recommend using the following macro:
\cast Mind Flay
, and then mind controlling one of the shadow priest NPCs in shadow labs. After the MC ends, you will find that the macro no longer works.

You will have to include the rank of w/e spell you want to use after the MC. This is because spells are cached by name and not by ID.

/cast Mind Flay(Rank #)

Noted, but it still seems like an oversight.

Its been always like this unfortunately. https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/mind-control-breaking-macros/338760/4
