Maybe I’m dumb and don’t know how to play my class, but I was in a delve today and kept dying and didn’t understand way. Enhancement Shaman, been playing this character for a while.
My Healing surge spell now makes me pick a target. I never had to before I would press the button and it would heal myself. Either in regular or when it’s in instant maelstrom cast.
What am I doing wrong?
Also I see that my profile picture is not the character I play all the time that I’m referencing, it picked a character I never play?
This is probably better off in the shaman sub classs forum.
thank you. I"m a little frustrated and don’t realize where I’m posting this

Hello Redred,
Maybe it is a Self Cast issue. Check Options::Gameplay::Combat::Self Cast…make sure that is Auto. Or whatever you want there.
Also, maybe an addon changed something. Just a quick idea there.
If you are out of Delve and targetting nothing, and you cast, does it cast on you?
well it was a bountiful delve and didn’t want to leave it. I have one life left anyway, so I guess I just wasted my key?
Maybe not, if u target nothing in the delve and cast does it select you?
I was targeting nothing and it would try to get me to select a target. I just walked away from Brann and it did like it’s suppose to and targeted myself, went back over the general area Brann was sitting and it had me select the target and didn’t go off. It’s the underwater delve, don’t know if that matters
Iedit: have to edit this one because for some reason I can’t make more than three posts. I was hoping I could just open a ticket but doesn’t seem like that’s an option anymore.
No he is not a healer I was able to reproduce it inside the little bubble with the camp fire he has
Is Brann a healer? Maybe that affects the self healing, but I don’t remember seeing that. I don’t know much about delves. Maybe its a bug?
my auto self target randomly stops working with my skyfury buff. Most of the time I just press it with no target and it buffs. but rarely, it requires me to have a target selected before the buff cast happens. and i have absolutely no idea why this happens.
never had this issue with healing surge personally, but i imagine these are connected somehow. this expansion is notoriously buggy, so i’m guessing either that’s the cause, or some addon i have is messing with it.
You shoulnd’t lose your key, you can freely do delves, normal or bountiful without having or consuming any keys… The key is only consumed after finishing the delve if you choose to open the bountiful chest.
It’s definitely a self cast issue. Regardless of settings, and with no addons, a few people have reported not being able to self cast buffs. I run into the issue on a Priest with Power Word: Shield and Fortitude, Circle of Healing, Flash Heal, etc.
Make sure you don’t have an addon that encourages mouseover casts. There is also a mouseover cast in the settings, but some strange addons that one would assume have nothing to do with mouseover may also apply it–even if you’re on a non-support spec, which is where things get confusing.
Turning the self cast setting on and off fixes it for me, but it’d be nice to not have to do that every single time.
Otherwise, bug report.
