I've noticed during combat that if I have a creature targeted, and that creature is behind me or out of range, I cannot hit Spirit Blast or Eldritch Burst. These are supposed to simply blast out from the caster, and share a cooldown with Great Cleave and Cleave, respectively. Those feats (Cleave & Great Cleave) do not require targeting creatures in front of you, or at all for that matter. They always work no matter what you're doing, where you are, or what you're facing. Presumably, Spirit Blast and Eldritch Burst should behave similarly, especially since they are body-centered actions ("Fire...an AOE centered on you...").
It would seem that these enhancements were created with a code template from arcane spells, but adjusted such that they require 0 spell points and have a specific cool down. The code template has targeting requirements like being within range, not being blocked, and facing the creature. These requirements are still in place for Spirit Blast and Eldritch Burst, yet neither action should require any of these things.
Can this please be investigated and corrected for an upcoming patch/update? It is very frustrating having to target, or untarget, when in the midst of combat and just trying to pop off a blast.
