World-of-warcraft – Lag caused by WoW add-ons

world of warcraft

Before WoD I've mainly been in 10 man guilds and thus lag wasn't really a problem. However with the Mythic content (20 man) and HC/Flex one (up to 30 man) I often experience massive lag.

Now if I disable all add-ons the lag stops but I'm using a lot of them… so the raiding experience isn't optimal without add-ons.

My question is: Is there a way to find out which add-on is causing this lag?

Best Answer

Yes there is.

You can actually do that by adding another add-on on top what you have already ! His name is pretty explicit : Addon usage

If the lag you are talking about is in fact fps drops, look at the CPU usage of each add-on you use to determine which one is using the most, repeat this process until your fps stay constant and you should be good, or you can sacrifice a lot of small add-ons to keep the core ones, that's up to you.

Read carefully the page to have full details and subtilities of the add-on.
