I’ve been having a very weird bug with casting Eternity Surge occasionally. I have my empowered cast settings set to hold, so that if I just tap the keybind it’ll cast immediately upon reaching level 1. I’ve never had any issues with this on any other spell, including spells using the same keybind, but sometimes when I cast Eternity Surge it’ll just…fail to cast. It’ll go a little bit beyond level 1 and then just cancel, even if I don’t queue another spell. Sometimes it cancels two or three times in a row.
I saw in the known issues that there’s a desync problem between empowering spells and the Thundering affix so I wonder if it’s related at all, but it ONLY affects Eternity Surge. In case it is something like that, the trinkets I have right now are Azure Arcanic Amplifier and Breath of the Plains. I haven’t noticed a pattern with it happening in conjunction with any activated effects like Dragonrage or Fury of the Aspects but it might coincide with passive procs.

Exact same issue here, and it’s only started in the past 48 or so hours
If you’re using ElvUI, Bartender, any kind of action bar addon I think the problem is that addons cant support Hold and Relase properly. Somehow, it still kind of works sometimes, but then it starts to break for me and starts acting like Press and Tap. Really disruptive.
Oh I should have mentioned, only addons are Coordinates, Details, and Raider io which I doubt would influence this.
I have the same problem and I have it on hold to cast and zero addons. It feels like a recent bug. I also get a bug where it works like tap to cast mode. It’s happening to me in the open world so its not related to mythic plus. It has also happened to me when I was not in Dragon rage.
I am having the same issue - no bar mods installed.
I am having the same issue with press and tap casting. The only addon installed is DBM.
It’s doing this with press and tap too. It’s getting rather annoying because it’ll happen several times in a row.
Yep, ongoing issue for several weeks now here on my end. Appears to be getting progressively worse. Hundreds of other bug submission regarding this “stuck” action with the Empowered abilities making Evoker absolutely annoying to play and questionably unplayable imho. Haven’t seen a single response from Blizzard on the matter either which is a real bummer for something this significant.

Eternity Surge often fails to cast for me, too. Its empower bar goes a little past level 1 and just “hangs”. Sometimes I think a level 1 spell launches but then I realize it failed to cast instead.
I’m not having issues with other empowered spells like Fire Breath.

I’ve noticed it will also sometimes behave as if it’s set to tap cast instead of hold down to charge, and sometimes it will behave normally. This seems to coincide with bouts of the spell just not casting.
The problem definitely seems to be getting progressively worse. It’s occurring with far greater frequency now, and it now seems to persist for quite some time instead of just sporadically failing.

Same issues here with eternity surge specifically. It’s been happening so frequently and is so disruptive to the rotation when it happens that I have stopped playing my evoker until it’s fixed, which is unfortunate because I love the class otherwise. I really hope they acknowledge it and can fix it soon.
Same for me, been happening a lot more since the last reset.
Just want to say it is still happening. We’ll see if its fixed next update.
I am also having this. I can’t isolate anything specific.
Eternity Surge will be off CD and ready to use, the mob is alive and in range (and going to be alive long enough to be worth casting Eternity Surge on it), I start empowering, the mob stays alive and in range, and ES just…stops casting. I don’t get anything in combat log or anywhere else that indicates that damage interrupted me or anything. I just start casting and then stop. For me, it does not go on CD either so it truly is just not casting.
EDIT: Wanted to also clarify that I do use action targeting and I am like 90% sure that the target of the ES is my target the entire cast, but it may not be. I am now questioning reality.
Still happening as of the 12/20/22 patch

still happening, disabled my addons and it still does it. happens multiple times in a row.
This is happening to me as well, it seems Blizz is really struggling to simply make things work. Evoker has been oddly buggy since release. At least my spells dont go dark anymore right?
