Raging Blow Global Cooldown Latency Issues - Please Help

[Fillingi 0]

Hey guys, just a quick question.

I just want to see if this happens to anybody else, but it has become an issue for me recently. It doesn't happen all the time, but it happens for the majority of the time I'm doing damage.

For moves like raging blow, bloodthirst, colossus smash, things like that, the ability doesn't seem to cast right as I hit the button when it's available. There is some sort of delay that lasts maybe 0.5-1 second or so, and it causes me to struggle getting out all the raging blows I've prepared for a colossus smash debuff. Also, it appears that my bloodthirst casts are delayed, and I can't even see whether I'm enraged or not until like a full second afterward.

I've tried lowering all my graphics settings... And I'll just mention that in the past, even with high graphic settings, this has never been an issue as far as I remember. This problem also occurs on my retribution pally, which REALLY hinders things considering haste and speed to generate holy power are essential to their damage.

Please help me, and offer any advice or theories of what could be causing this. Thank you very much.

It sounds like latency. When I used to play a caster, I had an addon that would track the latency and show me when I should push the button to perfectly chain my casts together. My latency is predictable, so I pretty much got it by feel based on what I learned then and get a very high GCD efficiency relative to other players now, even though I don't use that addon anymore.

Quartz and IceHUD both have cast timers that take latency into account.

My bet would be either latency, or some addon interfering. I've had the same kind of things happening to me since MoP, but I've just grown accustomed to play around it -- just requires faster reaction time to your procs and stuff.
