Casting stutters: check equipment on your action bars
A player shows a comparison with and without equipment on the bars.
Views: 0
Status: Report open. No verified Blizzard fix.
Description
, including gear-swap macros, reportedly causes stuttering when abilities are used. The author says more equipment buttons made the pause worse. A separate Forever clip is linked. The older Cataclysm clip does not establish current beta behavior.
Effect
If pauses coincide with casting, this gives you one factor to test before changing graphics settings.
How to reproduce it
- Save your button layout and copy your macros.
- Remove equipment and gear-swap macros from the bars. Repeat the same actions in the same location.
- Compare the result. The author shows less stuttering without those buttons. If nothing changes, your case may have another cause.
