[Priest] Spectral Guise remaining in combat

[amir3d]

WoW Freakz spell link: https://www.wow-freakz.com/spells.php?spell=112833
Bug description: despite it's description Spectral guise should act very similar to nightelf's shadow meld and put priest out of combat immediately when he cast it.and I remember from retail that most ally pvp priests changed human from nightelf cos of this.you could of drink/mount up/resurrect and etc right after casting spectral guise.
and as I know "but remain in combat" phrase in it's description refers to priest's shadow copy that remains there when priest himself gets stealth!
but seems it works backward at this server.even if priest spectral guise not only it does not get priest out of combat but also he will remain at combat till it's duration is over.even if he dos not engage in combat all of it's 6sec duration.
Proof: https://youtube.com/watch?v=CCwxq9QHiTE:

<~~ check time 0:29 . priest is at combat then he casts spectral guise and then immediately gets out of combat and start resurrection.( u can see how his noncombat abilities get available immediately after casting spectral guise.
I can find many other videos if it's not enough.
even u can check https://www.wow-freakz.com/spells.php?spell=112833 (wowhead link) and see Green comments about mounting right after spectral guise and some other similar comments.

Spectral guise is not vanish.
In that video he came out of combat because he wasn't getting hit/hitting him for 6 seconds due to him fearing the druid first with psyfiend (does not get him in combat) and did not even need spectral guise to ress

[amir3d]

there is a paradox in your comment!
how psyfiend fears an enemy but u can get out of combat so quickly?
psyfiends acts like a pet and while it is engaged with a hostile it will keep you in combat.how he came out of combat quickly after psyfiend feared druid?! the answer is spectral guise!
I can find many other videos to prove if it's needed! but I suggest u to check da video again with more focus!

here is another video of retail:
https://youtube.com/watch?v=BlXAWyK1hwA:


check time 3:44
focus on right action bar where spectral guise is below his mount icon.
priest is by the pillar engaged in combat by healing and power word:mending pulses.then he comes out and cast spectral guise and he immediately gets out of combat and his noncombat spells(like mount) comes available.even a "Living Combat" announce appears on screen.
if u want more u can just search youtube for holy priest arena plays on 5.4 and track their spectral guise spell on action bars.

So I was playing on my disc the other day and as I ran to drink I spectral guised to drop combat and drink, but it made me stand up every time I pressed drink. Has anyone else had this problem? Is it intended?

I'm not talking about only drinking.my point is that tick of sec that makes you out of combat that u could mount up/ress or even drink(if u spam it).
although this link and comments of arenjunies.com you refer, could be another proof.

Just read this on the front page of mmo-champion: Spectral Guise Side Effect Coming back to this one quickly; Spectral Guise removing a player from combat is not entirely a bug, but more of an unfortunate side-effect that's caused by the way the spell functions in order to accomplish particular tasks. We are fine that this perk is available through Spectral Guise and have no plans at this time to change the way the spell works. We're aware that the tooltip is currently incorrect in its current state and are looking to update it in an upcoming patch, however this will not be until patch 5.4 at the soonest.

it was a bug, but was fixed later.

Since patch 5.2 the level 60 talent Spectral Guis e seems to be bugged and breaks combat. If you pulled too much mobs, knocked you off your mount, flee from pvp > just use Spectral Guis e and mount up fast. Maybe you can reset after a wipe and rezz, save food etc.

I'm not sure what is the point you following from this but as I know after all fixes on bllizzad it still works just like I said even in WOD!
those 2 video I shared has recorded on 5.4.8 retail version.and I think freakz goal is to fix everything and make them just like retail.
