Facilitate painworking not working 1/20 times

Hi, sadly I do not know cause nor how to reproduce it at this point in time. I will update it in the comment section if I get more info on this and I urge everyone to share his informations on this issue as well.

What is the issue? Roughly 1 out of 20 times using the ability "Facilitate Painworking" does not allow the pet to cast. The ability goes on cooldown but nothing actually happens. I originally thought this was due to intense button mashing before and while using Facility Painworking, however this does not seem to be the case.

So far from the hundreds of times this happened to me already over months of playing my necro I came to the conclusion that it seems most likely to be related to the necromancer pet being hit in the moment (or shortly after?) you use the ability which in turn leads to it being canceled. (Just like a regular hit on a regular caster aborts his cast).

This bug is insanely frustrating as it often leads to deaths as the Necromancer relies heavily on the pet being able to cast when being hit to either kill them mobs (in PvE) or get of lifeleeching spells in PvP.

Please look into this as it is very hard to do testing as a player with our limited options.

From what i've noticed the pet will at times choose to prioritize melee'ing over using the spells during FP and this will cause it to cancel out the use of the FP.

Another thing that seemed to be of note is that some 'pet instants' would conflict with the casted spells from the shade and thus short circuit the FP. No clue if this is just a 'feeling' or what's actually happening.

I think you can only have like 3 spells queued at one time. So if you are casting insta life tap, insta debuff and trying to cast fp and que a ranged spell it might be too many to register. I have 0 issues with FP

pet and shade have separate spell queues here, should be able to get 4- this really is an issue with servant necro spec from what ive seen

It can happen when spamming shade spells at the same time and pressing FP in between.
It happens rarely but can be reproduced if one tries hard enough.
