I’m finding myself standing around doing nothing more than usual because of a spell not casting after pressing the button. There’s usually a pretty generous window at the end of a spellcast to press your next spell and it’ll start casting, but it feels like this changed in the last week or so… does anyone else notice this?

That could be a lag thing. I’ve seen that happen with server lag before sometimes in instances, sometimes in open world events.
Also: take a can of air to your keyboard and mouse, just to make sure it’s not an input issue.
That being said… I keep losing target on my Evoker. It just randomly drops without me touching anything. And we’ve always had hit or miss issues with our empowered spells not working. So I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a bug with casting, too.

I too am having trouble keeping target with my Evoker’s. It just drops out. Then sometimes it doesn’t want to re-acquire. I’m clicking like crazy while being pumelled by the nasty and can’t do anything!
I also had a casting poof on me last evening. Targeted, cast and zip. Had to wait for the cooldown to do it again. Eternity Surge just didn’t… And that time I did keep target so it wasn’t that it dropped.
I’m only seeing this on my Evoker’s though. My Pally and Warrior don’t seem to have this problem, or at least they haven’t when I’ve been playing them. (Playing mostly Evoker right now.)

Yep. I think it has something to do with Mass Disintegrate, personally.

try to look into macros maybe have some target macro around that make u lose target
i dont use any macros or addons and Ive found the same thing with a loss of target on nearly all my characters. especially “heated” moments. i have it set so that i am SUPPOSED to have to push my escape key to disengage a target/clear my target and yet I find that im loosing targets ALL the time, and its hard to click back to the target you had a lot of the times. even with the “select nearest enemy” key and the “smart settings” for that setting its still half wonky sometimes. I figured out that the “select nearest enemy” is also directional, so it also has to do with which direction your character is facing. this might resolve some minor issues for some people also.
I was also having some trouble with spells on my drathyr “not happening”
I chalked it up to a new global cooldown on a certain spell in my rotation, adapted and moved on.
There’s definitely something going on with both the servers and combat. Here’s what has happened to me on my Chronowarden Preservation Evoker:
- Cursor highlighting, wanting a target, despite me trying to use a spell on myself…
- Spells not being used despite being available and off cooldown (Rewind having 1 out of 2 charges available but nothing happening).
And let’s not get started on the inconsistency of the affix this week…
Have to admit, I’m a little tired of “action targeting” targeting candles and corpses. Please stop that, “action targeting.” Targeting something I can’t cast at with a dual-purpose heal/damage spell causes me to heal myself, which is something I’m generally not trying to do when I think I’m using a damage spell.
