What is custom lag tolerance or spell queing?:

Whenever you want to cast a spell, there's a delay between the time you press the button and the time you actually start casting. That delay is determined by how long it takes for you to talk to the server: you need to tell it you want to cast this spell, and the server has to say "OK, casting starts now". This delay is called latency, or more informally, lag.

You can take advantage of this delay to reduce the time you actually spend between spellcasts: just before you finish casting one spell, you start casting another. If timed correctly, you will finish the first cast and immediately start the second cast, due to the time it takes to talk to the server.

Of course, in order to do that, you need to know exactly how long it took to talk to the server, and since we're generally talking a few hundrer milliseconds, it's not easy to measure on your own.

Custom Lag Tolerance is intended to help you with that: once you know the approximate latency you're playing with, you can set it up and the cast bar display will take this value into account so you can chain spells more effectively.

Variables CVAR that makes the system work:

/console reducedLagTolerance 1
( activate the custom lag tolerance )

/console MaxSpellStartRecoveryOffset 200
(200 is the ms you wanna put and it gives the amount of time you have before queing the next spell, 0 would make it near impossible to click at exact moment exept by spamming)

Since the consoles variables that make this system work dont work on the legion realm, it makes the lag tolerance to 0 so I have to press the spell exactly when the GCD is over before being able to do the next spell.

If I press it to early (even 0.000005 sec early) my spell wont cast and it will fail.

If I was able to put my lag tolerance to like 200 ms, I would be able to que the next spell so when the GCD of last spell is over, it will cast the next spell instant without me spamming like a retard.


Proof: Just go on the genesiss server ( MOP) or on retail legion, youll be able to que spells and it makes the gameplay really smooth when you wanna spam ice lance for exemple.



here is the image of the old setting from mop so you get an idea of what it is:
