Hunter Autoshot delaying/clipping?

Hey guys, recently rolled a hunter on classic. I have the weapon swing timer addon loaded. I noticed my auto shots are sometimes delayed, i heard this is called clipping so here i am asking about it.

Watching the swing timer bar, the bar will fill all the way up as red then stay like that for half a second then fire up an arrow. Tho normally the bar just fills up red then shoots the arrow instantly.

I realized this is mostly happening if i put a skill in between autoshots, like i will fire an arcane shot then this will happen. Tho i only cast the skill if the bar is showing white meaning it is safe to cast/move.

Lastly, i had the weapon swing timer text option enabled aswell so i see when this issue happens the timer goes to -0.5 even tho it normally goes down to 0 then shoots.

This is honestly very annoying more than anything. I wouldnt care all that much about the dps loss but this thing puts me off feels like a glitchy mess.

Been there since launch, maybe even in the beta too. No hope for a fix, since Blizzard clearly don’t see an issue. Just as with Feign Death not clearing combat. Hunter is just a broken class unfortunately.
I rerolled because of this, having this trigger on an Aimed Shot in a highstakes situation is literally the worst feeling in the game.

This suck hard in pvp.

Alright, after some trial and error i found out this issue is somewhat fixed by not having macros on skills. Which does put you in a severe disadvantage i guess. But still atleast we can remove macros for arcane-serpent/viper sting- aimed shot. Tried for a couple hours and without the macros the delay isnt nearly as bad. Still happens but much better this way. My hunter isnt high enough lvl for FD yet so i cant talk about that one.

IF ANYONE ELSE HAS A WAY OF FIXING THIS HORRIFIC THING PLEASE DO TAKE THE TIME TO POST HERE.

I saw some guides on youtube where they said that putting a cleartarget / targetlasttarget at the end of your macro will solve that problem.

I tried it during my last but it happened quite that I would completely lose my target, ot seems like it doesn’t work 100% either
