As the title says. Testing this on a fresh install with no addons and spamming abilities in combat keeps the fps steady around 300. As soon as I press Xuen or Niuzao it hitches and drops to around 100 for a split second. Very noticable. Why does it do this? I’ve looked around and there seem to be several strange stuttering issues connected to pets showing up in threads over the years.

It seems to have something to do with pets that have action bars. Stuff like Storm, Earth and Fire does not have this issue. Again, everything stock
Hunter pets have been broken like this for years. In fact, just having a hunter pet in combat causes terrible stutter . Gaining/losing buffs while in combat with the pet active seems to be the primary cause. If you only get the issue on the initial summoning of the pet count yourself fortunate.
It’s mainly why I stopped playing my vanilla character who I’ve played since 2005.
