Attacks hitting the wrong target

I’ve been dealing with this for about two weeks now. I’ve tried disabling my addons. I’ve tried reinstalling (which idk why that would impact it but I tried). Nothing seems to work.

The problem:

I will target one mob, but my abilities will fly/hit another target.

Details:

I play hunter, and this is most noticeable with Tranquilizing Shot, Counter Shot, and Kill Shot. Sometimes my interrupt just won’t interrupt. Same for Counter Shot. There are times when Kill Shot will highlight because I’m targeting the right mob under 20% health, but won’t fire because the ability is trying to go to a mob at 50% health. At first I thought this was player error, but then I started seeing my Rapid Fires and Aim Shots flying off target and things became a bit more understandable.

It feels like my abilities will at time erroneously target the 1) Closest mob, 2) Mob that is between me and my target. Which leads me to think that the game has Action Targeting enabled for some reason, despite it being turned off in my options.


As you can imagine this makes playing in Mythic+ dungeons with limited party resources unreliable and difficult. I’m hoping to get this resolved so I can go back to supporting my party like I want to.

Do you by chance have mouse over turned on? You could be mousing over a target when you hit an ability causing it to target them.

I did … oof. Let me see if that fixes things.

Wonder if i have that turned on cause thats been happening to me too

Kinda frustrating

OMG TY. I have been dealing with something similar since the DF pre-patch. Constant error speech stating “you can’t attack that target, you have no target, your target must be in front of you”. Meanwhile I’m getting chewed on and shot at and hit by 6 mobs at once and end up dying because I can’t hit anything EVEN when I DID have a highlighted target immediately in front of me biting my face. Finding and turning off mouseover casting has finally fixed it.
I could hug you because I was getting close to throwing my computer out the window. I tried everything. removing addons, deleting macros, scan and repair, manual uninstall and reinstall.

TY TY TY

Ahah np at all. Glad it you got it all fixed, hope op and the other guy got it worked out as well.
