#300 Summon Hawk spawns the hawk at the selected target a few moments after casting, even if the target is dead.

Status: Fixed · Area: Classes & Specs · Hunter

If you switch targets right after casting Summon Hawk, the hawk appears on the new target, even a corpse, while the damage still hits the original.

Current behavior

The way I observe Summon Hawk behave: Cast the spell -A moment passes- A hawk is summoned Initial damage applies In the short period of time between casting the spell and summoning the hawk, you can swap targets. The hawk will spawn at the other target. This includes corpses. The damage still applies to the main target.

Expected behavior

Expected behavior: The hawk is summoned on the target that the spell is cast at.

How to reproduce

You can replicate this by casting Summon Hawk at a mob, instantly swapping to a corpse and observe the hawk spawning at the corpse and then flying towards a currently attacked target, as per pet/guardian rules.
