Even that is subjective. I view that as a situation where both warriors possibly caught sight of each other at the same time and decided to charge, with the one closer to Blizzard’s servers having a latency advantage and getting it off. Having a buffer, such as 400ms batching, ensured that PvP wasn’t about whoever had the fastest internet, atleast to a reasonable extent.
Regardless, people have opinions on both side. What is a fact is that spell batching is authentic, and the goal of Classic is authenticity. We can all be happy for that, except for those who don’t like Vanilla in the first place.

It’s a slippery slope isn’t it?

long batches are definitely worse for lag.
retail batches are small, so 100 people casting a spell might all fall into separate batches, each batch only processes 1 spell in a single pass.
long batching 100 people casting a spell all fall into a single batch, the batch has to process them all at the same time, is much more likely to cause a lag spike
And yet we have had plenty of people try to use even the smallest changes to advocate for other changes.

If this is actually true (not saying it isn’t, I’m just not a technical expert), this is much better news than advertised.

ya i remember the double sheep in a goldshire duel from way back in the day
Except that vanishing death coils and gouging blinks are actual PvP tactics that people use.
What PvP tactics are effected by your FPS?

Unless you want to recreate every game-breaking bug, everyone does this.
The difference is just where you draw the line.

This wasn’t something that I personally cared too much about, but knowing that you guys are putting in this kind of effort to recreate the vanilla experience really gives me hope for the future of classic.

I am becoming more impressed with the classic team after each new update. Little tweaks like this are making the game as close to authentic as possible. Keep up the good work guys!
