It is literally the same reason as stuff like leeway is in the game. Check TipsOut’s videos campaigning for spell batching to be in the game.
It’s really not a bad idea in theory, and I can see why they tried it. They really should know that it’s not working properly, though.
Reducing the delay/tick rate would be fine. It’d still have issues, but they’d be less apparent.
Thats my point. it is currently at 400ms, that is unbelievably large. I would love to know how that made it into the game. Who at blizzard thought a window that big was a good idea?

Points to reference client.
That’s their excuse for virtually everything.
Look at this trash they call spell batching in action.
Watch this pull
Look how long the mobs lag before they turn to attack. The serpent literally ran through the agro range AND the mob, attacks the caster, THEN STARTS RETURNING before the group turns to attack
Again, look how long it takes for the dogs to drop agro after he feigns
To any trained eye this looks flat out JANKY, like the worst private server lag you could imagine.

It’s apart of the gameplay, everyone has to deal with it. I mean my god, I’m a warrior, leveling is hell sometimes but it’s what I chose and I’m not the only one with the problem.
This is a video of spell batching being incorrectly applied to the warlock pyroclasm proc (it has 26% chance to stun target for 3 sec).
The rogue is able to vanish before the proc takes effect and is still stunned in stealth.
In Original WoW 04-06 Pyroclasm stun was applied immediately, the rogue would never be able to vanish like it can now.

Run has done work with this perfect mechanic showing how broken batching is. It’s literally funny to watch.
spell batching is the best, I love my seal/weapon twisting on my pally.

Blame the people who demanded all the old bugs back.
You think you do but you don’t.

Just another example of spell batching being trash
Watch Ebbn perfectly lead his target with a nade and it whiff despite blowing up on top of the mage
Enemies can attack me while they are stunned. In fact, I was sapped and was able to blind a rogue who cheap shot stunned me WHILE I WAS STILL SAPPED. That is broken. How can I use abilities while stunned?
Blizzard making fundamental changes (similar to spell batching!) to the game over time is what produced BFA. What also helped produce BFA was the community largely apologizing for and defending Blizzard (what you’re doing now) everytime they made a mistake (which spell batching certainly is). And spell batching is very dissimilar to Vanilla. Anyone saying it’s not is lying. There was no mechanic or coding that would ever produce something similar to some of the things we see with spell batching.

Instinct would tell you to lead the target more, but counter intuitively, you were supposed to put the nade on top of the mage, so he was actually supposed to be aiming further back not forward to land that throw
Just throw logic completely out the window when you play Classic

Says the mage. First, the current spell batching system is NOT vanilla-like. Second, it most certainly does affect certain classes more. My rogue, for example, gets attacked while enemies are stunned in both PvP and PvE. I have gotten attacked two whole seconds after an enemy is stunned. My 6 second stun therefore becomes more like a 4 second stun. I am naturally very squishy, so for a class who relies on stuns and CC to survive, it REALLY affects me negatively, more so than a class like a mage. Your statement that the botched and unvanilla-like system affects classes equally is pure ignorance.
Except the system is a huge change from vanilla. A moderate spell batching is vanilla like. But the current system is garbage and unlike vanilla. Enemies shouldn’t be auto attacking you from the grave and enemies shouldn’t be attacking you 2 whole seconds into a stun.
Working as intended to make people fail and wipe more often, so they will have to play longer to get the same things done.
I just love how I get killed by something after it is already dead. It’s so immersive!
I still love your name
