Description:

It looks like the mind flay spell is bugged at the moment.

When you start channeling after fearing the npc, it will break when the npc leaves the mind flay range. Since this is a channeling spell, it should NOT stop on oor or los. This does make the famous fear/mind flay combo useless. It's a major issue while leveling, faming and will damage pvp (arena!) a lot! Needs to be fixed asap!

Quote:
"In addition, they have only one line of sight check at the cast of the spell; as soon as the spell hits the target, the caster does not need to maintain LoS in order to keep the channel active. "

Reproduceable?:

Yes, by using fear or casting on fleeing targets.

Note that I'm using mind flay without increased range (http://www.wowwiki.com/Shadow_Reach). This could have some impact concerning the difference between casting range and the range at which the debuff fades.
