Auto self cast bug?

I disabled all my addons and restarted the game numerous times so that’s not an issue.

In my combat tab, the self cast option I always choose is “AUTO and KEY PRESS.” I then pick ALT as my self cast key. Unfortunately it is not working. I’m at the healing target dummy right now. I heal the dummy just fine. But while keeping the dummy targetted, I’m trying to self cast a heal on myself with the ALT key but it continues to heal the dummy instead of me.

Now here’s the interesting part. If I log out and back in, the self cast option resets to the default seting of AUTO without the ALT key option set. I have to manually set it each time I log in or use reload. So I’m assuming there is a problem with self casting keybind. Even after I redo it after the reset, it still doesn’t work. The heal continues to target the dummy instead of myself even if I use the ALT keybind.

Can anyone check this out because it’s making my druid very annoying to play because I have to constantly click back and forth between me and the guy I’m healing. It’s dreadful in pvp combat.


And I don’t have the ALT key set for auto loot, so that’s also not an issue.

Okay, might be something to do with my feral macro. I got it to work fine with my resto druid but for some reason feral is struggling.

Nope, not a macro issue. I placed a simple non macro regrowth straight from my spell book on my action bar for feral and tried to use the ALT self cast and it does not work. But it works fine on my resto druid. Definitely something wonky going on. And there are probably not enough people playing feral to notice or care about it.


Okay, last update.

I got the self cast to work on every character but the one I’m having issues with. Is it possible for a single character to have their keybinds and settings not work while every other character on the account works fine? How the hell do I fix this? It’s literally working on all my other hybrids that use self cast with ALT.

bit of a necro, but i just came back to the game and this is still an issue. i have a character for all classes, and this seems to be most reproducible on priest with fort buff. sometimes with motw on my druid. would be nice to see a fix at some point.

In case anyone else finds this thread due to the same bug… I noticed this happen several times on the classic 1.15 game since Anniversary launched. It stopped happening for me when I selected the auto-self cast options in the settings menu using only the arrows and not the drop down.
It could just be coincidence or could be a workaround? If it works for you, drop a comment to confirm.
