Is Spirit Beast's healing ability Spirit Mend bugged? I personally don't see it going off, on auto-cast, on other players other than it and myself, in battlegrounds. I haven't been able to test it out in guild raids yet though. It's supposed to be a "smart" heal! Thank you!

Trying turning on the option in your game settings to show when your being healed. The heals will show up like +2450 as a heads up display as an example.

Yeah I think I do have healing up on my display. And like I originally said, not on me, on others. :--P

hmm.. You test it out on a friend perhaps ? Get them to lower there health while grouped up and see if the pet will heal them if you target your friend.

Mine is bugged i tryed see if it works it dosen,t .... lol i had to click myself !

I'm definitely gonna report this valuable healing bug. It should auto-cast! >.<

Yeah, I have to cast it myself, even on auto-cast. =s Medea (Loque'nahak) is the only one of my SBs that I've tried it on, however she won't heal herself unless I manually click on her and then click 'Spirit Mend'. Should it be proccing once the SB is under a certain amount of health? Either way, she was almost close to death and nothing happened.

Hmmmm on other message boards that I asked, Spirit Beast's Spirit Mend healing is going off automatically on other players in parties and/or raids.

Although I haven't had a chance to EXTENSIVELY test it, what I found was that it easily will autocast on me or the pet (assuming it is off cd), but not party members. I'd prefer it this way, really. I don't find it too hard to have it keybound anyway, though, as a heal--target player, hit keybind, they're healed

Kk Spirit. I'm glad you're gonna check to see if it does auto-cast on other players. Others have said that it does. And that is funny about Beast Mastery Hunters being able to heal now! XD

Spirit Mend is not an auto castable ability you have to manually use it. At least this is how it seems to be on live, it doesn't have the option to turn on and off like other auto abilities like prowl or growl.

You can do a macro for it

/target zaphoed
/cast Spirit mend

This will target me and then put up the HOT. You can do other for tanks or even the pet itself just have to have its name in the /target of the macro.

Or even better:
/cast Spirit Mend [target:zaphoed]

Or even shorter:
/cast [@player] Spirit Mend

Yeah, but he wanted it at a tank too. Of course, I'd use focus and nofocus if I made it. :D

Spirit Mend is not an auto castable ability you have to manually use it.

Untrue, actually; it's a togglable ability and the pet WILL use it on itself or you, at the very least--I can't confirm on other targets.

I use a macro to target me, cast it, and target last target; I have a second macro to heal my focus.

Today, during a Black Temple run, the group was running to Illidan--and Chaos (my Loque) ran off ahead of me. I was like wtf is he doing? He ran happily along to the front of the group, went up to the tank, healed him & came back. Tank was near full HP, so I can only assume that the pet was trying to catch up to him to heal him from when he was taking damage. I can't say 100%, though, because I may well have misclicked (well, mis-pressed) my macro earlier. The "WTF IS HE DOING?!" was still funny though

LOL Acherontia!!!! I can just see him trotting back to your side, all proud of topping off the tank.

It auto-casts for me. I made a macro to self heal myself while raid testing Sunday, and would notice it wasnt always available because the heal was on cooldown. I'm curious if my pet may have been healing others, or just me, or just himself.

How about...

/cast [button:2, @pet][@player]Spirit Mend

Should be a left-click for heal player, right-click for heal pet. (not tested)

Damnit, I neeeeeed to get me a spirit beast.
Arcturis would be my favourite, but is also I suspect the shortest lived once spawned
For some reason my GF would object to me camping in wow for 18 hours.

I just used:

/target ZigZug (me)
/cast Spirit Mend
/targetlasttarget

It's the same basic macro I used on LK when I had to tranq the big ghouls, just swap the target and the casted spell. The switch between targets was so fast it didnt interrupt my fire at all.
