Ability and casting delays

Anytime I use any ability or cast a spell, it takes on average ~220ms before the ability starts. This delay can fluctuate wildly and waiting for example ~400ms after you’ve pressed a button before the cast bar even appears makes the game feel very unresponsive, not to mention the actual dps loss over longer fights. As a quick test i threw 10 frostbolts on a dummy while naked so 2sec per each cast, and it wasted 0.44sec (440ms) into the twisting nether. Thats a 2% dps loss right there, just from lag. And this is even with spellqueueing enabled at 400ms while chaincasting!

I made a ticket ingame but was also asked to make a forum post, so here it is.

Here’s a screenshot for illustration purposes, which shows the ingame latency in the tooltip to the bottom right, as well as the delay on the castbar itself.

Glad it’s not just me. I’m on a 500mb/s line wired and have an in game latency of 17/17 and all evening abilities and right-click interactions have had very long 200-400ms latency issues. Makes combat feel really bad. I’ve logged off for now because I’m a bit fed up with it to be honest.

Well buddies…

Now we have another worldwide lockdown if im not mistaken…
So all ISP’s will suffer abit and together with them the blizzards servers.

It did happened before on the first lockdown, i had serious troubles to raid with my guild and that was not only me

Ah, yes, the old “Covid-19” cope.

So can you help me why I’ve been lagging a lot every time in Isle of Conquest starting middle fight or Alterac Valley? since 1 year or more. Strange enough Internet ISP tests give the true picture.
