This is new from today’s patch. Sometimes, when I’m making multiple casts in a row, the cast animation does’t occur. My character’s hands will glow, but remain at my sides in the normal idle animation instead of the casting animation. It only appears to happen when the spells are cast immediately after another in a row, the first spell cast always seems to have the animation.

+1 having same issue, and recent patch notes state “Fixed an issue that caused some casting animations to behave less responsively than expected when a spell is cast immediately after landing from a jump or fall.”
Must be an issue with this.

I’m glad I found this thread. I’m having the same problem on my mage. I thought it might be an addon, but the animation is still bugged with no addons enabled.
yup having the same issue, was curious if it was any of my addons as well but still happens, temporarily bugged in game maybe?
Noticed this immediately in tonight’s raid, post-patch. My character is a healer, and most of the healing in a raid is chain-casting. 80% of the time my character just stands with her arms in relaxed downward position and hands glowing, then at the end of her cast she throws up her hands, then they go back down. Up-down-up-down, it just looks like my character is lagging. Checked with raid members, and they are also experiencing this visual bug. Very disconcerting, hope it will get patched ASAP.

Experiencing the exact same issue presented by all the people above.
- Characters simply stand (arms at their sides) instead of showing the usual casting position
- Happens with every spell with a casting time I have tested
- Only happens when I’m chain-casting with minimal delay between spells, but the issue occurs 100% of the time when I do
- Tested on both my mage and a low level warlock and both are having the same problem
- Only started happening today after the patch was installed
Needless to say this is extremely annoying when playing a class that’s constantly casting spells, please fix as soon as possible.

Just hopping on the thread so I can see when we get a blue text response
Thanks for the reports about this, everyone. We are aware of the issue and have a fix in the works now. We hope to have a hotfix out for this very soon.

Same here. Glad to know its a game bug and not an add on issue, but it is extremely annoying and hopefully will be fixed soon.

Any updates on this?
No updates so far, I was really hoping for a fix today but apparently that was setting my expectations too high.
I completely removed everything inside my addons folder and the glitch still persists on my end, so it’s definitely not an issue with addons.
I’ve seen multiple threads about this on the Blizzard forums where plenty of people were reporting the exact same thing and expressing how it negatively impacts their gameplay.
Can we please, please get a fix as soon as possible?

It’s happening to me too. Incredibly frustrating
how?
its kinda annoying but you should not look at your animation, you should look at your cast bar
I’ve also noticed this bug. Overall, doesn’t affect game play so not a huge issue but your character’s actions end up being inconsistent with posture. I subconsciously use the posture as a visual queue/confirmation that I am doing the right thing (in a raid for example while chain healing) and it did throw me off a bit at first though I’ve gotten used to it. Definitely looking forward to it being fixed!
There was a client patch today (July 14 build date). It is now fixed. Thanks Blizzard.
Yeah my druid healer sometimes isnt doing animations anymore too. thought it was like animation spell batching that sometimes happen when you cast buffs but literally no animation while casting is a bit weird
