Moonkin Spell Rotation ?

[Bigfish]

I have seen people reference this /castsequcence lag before. what is the deal?

When you use a /castsequence, the spells have to complete before the sequence moves on to the next spell in the order. This is tracked by the server, so there is a lag between spells while you are waiting for the server to send back a positive response that the spell fired off. As such there is a difference between /castsequence wrath, wrath, wrath, wrath and spamming /cast wrath. In the case of the sequence, you are continually trying to cast the first wrath in the sequence until you get a response telling you that the first wrath fired, and then you start casting the second wrath in the sequence. If your latency is 0, it non-existant. If it is 300 MS, you're waiting .3 seconds between casts while you are getting confirmation.

On the other hand, if you spam /cast wrath, it continually tries to cast the spell, and so as soon as the first wrath goes off, you are starting to cast a new one.

Now in small timed cases, the difference is minimal. In the case of short cast spells over a long period of time, where you would normally get off 40 casts in a minute, you are now getting off only 33.
