^ Video of the bug in action ^
In 2019 classic through mid-WotlK there was also this same exact bug. Rune strike, Bear druid Maul, and Heroic Strike would all cause the Spell Que Window feature that all classes enjoy in WoW to stop working. This was fixed in Wotlk classic.
In Era/SOD, this bug still persists. If you’re on a warrior and you que heroic strike, you can no longer benefit from the Spell Que Window feature in WoW, greatly increasing your GCD timer from 1.5 sec to 1.5 + latency + time-to-press. Easily pushing your GCD into 1.8 second ranges. Over the course of a fight this can push multiple GCDs off.

As an Australian with 220ms latency, this bug has done immeasurable and irreparable damage to my mental health. Please fix!

Even with a good ping it can be frustrating as sometimes it will feel like your abilities catch and you have to keep mashing the key well beyond the GCD being ready. I can only imagine was it feels like with an international ping…

PLEASE fix this. Playing from AUS with 200+ ping makes this issue beyond frustrating. The amount of globals I lose is making me want to quit the game.
Oh is that what it is? I have noticed it but figured it was just the game being finicky

This is bad, especially playing in Naxx in SoD where you always have heroic strike queued.
Noticed getting rend to actually cast can be problematic, then you throw in the stance dance to hit the overpowers on top of that. Not a problem if everything is working as intended but with this delay it becomes pretty cancer.

The number one thing people will feel but not necessarily understand is why sometimes an abilities seems to hang or catch. Like you spam the button as the GCD gets ready and even through completion and then you move to the next ability only to realize a GCD never started or that bloodsurge proc is still present.

Something to keep in mind, this is also affecting people on Era / Anniversary / and SoD. So it is not as simple as it affecting one form of the game.

Bumping for Blizzard acknowledgement
Checking in again, hello Blizzard?
they are an inch away from deleting warrior class, sadly this doesnt seem to be a priority… despite it being a fundamental/foundational feature being broken THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN FIXED IN CLASSIC WOTLK SOMEHOW

Yes, it’s very disappointing that a bug that affects such a fundamental aspect of a class can just be ignored like this.
This just gonna be ignored? You guys had a fix for this in Wrath, what’s stopping you from deploying it for SoD?

well for most of level 60 a ret could walk up to me and do over 7,200 in a gcd while my BiS + Might of Menthil would struggle to break 1k in the highest combo back, so, warrior is a pretty low priority for them. In fact, they’ve often gone out of their way to back-log your damage and not give you the tools to match other classes outside of raid (i.e. deep wounds dmg coming late, all your abilities doing about the same damage, set bonuses that affect all your dmg and not a single spell, etc). This means that while you get to enjoy the bottom half of raid DPS most of the time, out in the world youre less than 1/3rd of most other classes. A boomkin can out dps you in PVP or in open world content by a massive margin with just instant cast abilities while also having more armor than you and the ability to heal far more. Through all of naxx, and now in Scarlet Enclave fights without a bunch of cleave like Council and Voss, you’re basically the worst class, actually holding the 9th out of 9 slot (some other classes have meme specs that do less but every class has/had a spec that does better than your best). Then add in you entirely rely on world buffs and 0 armor targets to occupy that slot, and unlike rogues and priests you never got a fast sunder application… yikes.
season of dont play warrior. Disgruntled employees pulled what a Jeff Kaplan did to Ret in 2004 Beta to the warrior class in SoD.
Please fix, this is miserable. Losing 200ms on every cast, resulting in global losses isn’t fun at all, especially on Era/Fresh where we’re killing bosses in like 10-15 seconds and every global matters.
Not fixing this is genuinely insane, especially when you consider the fact that OCE servers on SoD were shutdown and players are forced to play on 200-250ms where the system in place to alleviate this doesn’t even work…
