Level 58 Undead Demonology Warlock here, just picked up Gorewrought Wand as a quest reward, but for some reason it doesn’t shoot. Tried auto attack, tried the Shoot button, nothing works. Anybody any idea why? (Before anyone asks, NO, I haven’t just dragged the wand itself to the taskbar, it’s definitely the Shoot button I’m using.)
Hate to ask this, but, have you actually equipped it, or are you trying to use it from your bags?
It needs to be equipped in a weapon slot.
Yes, it’s equipped. It’s showing in my hand as I walk around. It just doesn’t fire.
Okay, I have no idea then, sorry
Ah well, cheers anyway.
Retail ain’t like Classic, it’s a stat stick, not for shooting.
Seriously? So it doesn’t actually do anything any more? There’s a Shoot button that doesn’t do anything, by design? It’s a weapon that you can’t fight with? That’s pretty bloody stupid.
No kidding it does pitiful damage. I mean 11dps?
11dps is bad enough, but this thing isn’t doing ANYTHING. It’s no more use than the thing in my offhand.
I don’t have a wand so I can’t test it but they are like staves now.
At least you can melee with staves. A wand is meant to be a ranged weapon, but this is literally just a stick.
Silly question but is it transmogged?
You can’t shoot a wand when it’s transmogged into something else.
No, I never bother transmogging. I just got it as a quest reward yesterday and equipped it straight away.
does the chat command /cast shoot
or /cast !shoot
work?
Good question. Not sure. Will go try it now…
Make sure you target something first.
Thanks for that pointer. I’ve been playing WoW since Burning Crusade came out the first time round, so I’ve just about got the hang of that side of it…
EDIT: No, neither of the /cast things work.
Sadly I just got rid of my wand on my mage so I cant test it, but we did have 2 mages in our raid group in BfA whom we nicknamed “The Wanderers” as they were notorious for accidentally right clicking a boss before pull and shooting their wands… so it was working then…
Same problem. Shoot does NOTHING. It’s not about the damage, I wouldn’t use it for rotational dps anyway. But it’s a function that is not working. At all.
Neither shoot nor auto attack. Yes it’s equipped. No it’s not transmogged.
Sad when your wand shoots blanks.
