Lag when changing weapons

[Vaykus-earthshaker]

I have a lag - the screen freezes for half a second when changing weapons through a macro.
The macro is simple to change weapons:
/equip - the name of the weapon
/equip - the name of the weapon

Friend have the same problem
Before that, the Lich King played - everything was fine. Such a problem suddenly arose during the cataclysm.

There are NO modifications\addons
Changed the weapon to another - the problem remains.

I have been using macros to change weapons for over 15 years. There was no such thing.

Now it is not possible to play as a warrior.

This is the problem with Cataclysm Classic.

I agree, I have the same problem while I swap my weapons, using such a simple macro.

It’s related to the issue where having items or item macros on your bars causes the game to stutter/microfreeze whenever you use any spells/abilities or target something. The stuttering gets worse and worse for every item you add to your bars. To test it, try placing your weapon on a whole bunch of bar slots then try to play the game… It’s awful.

People are complaining about it on Discord, Reddit, other forum threads here on EU and on the US forums.

Make sure to report it through the in-game bug report tool so we can bring this to Blizzards attention.

Ty.

I wrote a bug report.

Can confirm. Such a weird bug. Had 3 equippable items in my bars (fishing rod and two weapons) and removing them eliminated the issue. Putting them back brought the lag.
