has anyone here ever used /console spellqueuewindow 150 or familiar with the old ping settings blizzard took out of the game? I’m asking to learn more about this.
The addon Advanced Interface Options allows you to access all these removed commands, but some are locked down from the devs such as nameplatemaxdistance locked at 60yds minimum ever since patch 8.2, which infuriates me to no end.
I’m forced to play with plater to get the old 40yd max range back, and plater being an okay addon but not perfect is just a pita sometimes. Blizz stock nameplates were absolutely fine and perfect for me, but oh well.
And yes, I toyed around with that ping number and the better your ping, the lower you should set this number, but not too low. You’ll have to test it out and feel if it’s right for you.
I tried setting it very low once and quickly learned how crazy muscle memory really is if you’ve got 800 days played on a hardcaster like destro/ demo, haha.

The Spell Queue Window is the time in milliseconds in which you’re allowed to tell WoW’s servers about the next spell you want to cast before your current cast is finished. This defaults to 400 milliseconds. Without this feature, you would experience a large delay (2x average latency) between spells. This also applies to instant-cast spells on the Global Cool-down (GCD). The Spell Queue Window benefits everyone, no matter how low your internet latency is.
When you queue a spell, the queue-system does not allow you to change that spell. For that reason, some find that lowering the Spell Queue Window value improves how spell-casting feels. Be careful not to set the value too low or spell-queueing will not work properly. The recommended delay is at least 100ms higher than your average latency.
