dk Superheated Ward/Volcanic Ward question

hi, I recently started playing eso, been trying out classes, ended up liking dk most.
I really love the game, but I find the skill Volcanic Ward extremly frustrating, its a good shield, but, only if Im all alone, no other players, or even companion within 20m of me if there is, I wont get my shield, regardless if Im aiming in to the ground, sky, or even have my back against them, they still get the shield, I dont.
I cant find any sort of "self cast" keybind, soo, is it impossible to cast this shield on my self if players/companions are within 20m, or am I missing something?

    Nope, that's really a problem and the very reason I only use it when playing solo.

    You probably need to one of the morphs of Obsidian Shield if you need a shield for yourself while you're around others, but it is annoying you need to do that

    yeah, feels really dumb having to use different shields, depending if you play all alone, without companion, or around other players, and having to use a less good shield if you do, atleast now I know its not just me:)

    ESO desperately needs a "target self" toggle that players can tick to solve these sorts of issues.

    Also probably a "target group" toggle.

    It's meant as a target shield for healers, I get the inconvenience but it's sort of the point of the skill. The self-only shields are in Undaunted (stamina) and Light Armor (magicka).

    It's a bit more expensive, but you can also Scribe Soul Burst into a shield, as it always hits you.

    Or Earthshield Mantle, but that's Max Health based. If you don't like Fragmented Shield.
