yeah same here turned off all addons didn't work
For those experiencing this bug there is a work around. Hitting the alt key once always fixes it whenever it crops up for me. Try that.
This thread....amazes me.
I'm having this problem still in 2017...
This happened to me today, across two different alts. I found the solution though! earlier someone had mentioned that it seemed like this was a self targeting bug. I attempted to use a combat spell on myself, holding the self targeting button. Then I attempted to use a combat spell targeting an ad, also holding the self targeting button. After that, the bug disappeared and I could combat mobs normally.
2011? Really? For some reason I thought it was a bug that started some patches ago as I had never experienced it before... Impressive.
Just impacted me on my monk. It is the type of bug which doesn't sound realistic when you explain to your group that you literally could not attack anything haha
Just to keep everyone in the loop, its February 2, 2018 and i just got hit by this bug. This bug is a part of WoW life.
Just got hit with this bug today on my Mage. It's still happening. Closing the game and exiting Bnet seemed to fix it for me.
Still happening to me - I cannot cast Innervate in Boomkin form...every time it just says invalid target. Doesn't matter if I'm casting it on myself or others - will not work.
plz game no worky halp
plz game no worky halp
It's been mentioned a couple other times but I'll say it again so its at the end of the thread. Something is causing the game to think you are self casting your abilities, so chances are, hitting the ALT key when this happens fixes it.
2018 Still a problem. How is this not been addressed in 7 years? It's honestly impressive.
BfA is about to come out and still the same bug.
Interface/Combat: Turn self cast key to none and uncheck auto self cast. Binding to Alt I think is what did it for me. :D
Okay, sorry to necro, but this just happened to me. I was being chased by an angry mob of RPPVP'ers from MoonGuard when I suddenly found I could only cast Agony-yikes! Relogging did nothing, but hitting the alt button a couple of times did, in fact, solve the problem.
still happening like 5 years later....just happened to me.
Same issue. I've reloaded twice with no fix. Then decided to restart the game again with no fix. I just restarted my entire computer, we will see how it goes.
Happened today on the Frost Lord Ahune fight. I could target and auto-attack everything, but every targeted ability I tried to use got an "Invalid target" error.
To anyone still having this bug go ahead and press your (Left ALT) key on your keyboard about 4-5 times. This solution works for me whenever this bug occurs. Cheers all and hope this helps in the future! :-)
