SpellQueueOptimizer

Automatically optimizes the SpellQueueWindow (SQW) based on your current latency and spec. Adjusts on login, spec/zone changes, and at intervals. Simple commands, sensible defaults, no fuss.

SpellQueueOptimizer keeps your Spell Queue Window (SQW) in the sweet spot for your current connection and class specialization.

 

What it does

  • Reads your Home/World latency via GetNetStats().
  • Detects your specialization and maps it to a tuning profile (channel-heavy, proc-reactive, burst-precise).
  • Computes a sensible SQW (e.g., 80–110 ms for stable EU pings) and applies it automatically.
  • Re-evaluates on login, zone/instance change, spec change, and periodically (default every 5 minutes).
  • Optional override if you want a fixed value.

Commands

  • /sqo show – Show current SQW & ping
  • /sqo now – Recalculate & apply now
  • /sqo on / /sqo off – Enable/disable auto optimization
  • /sqo interval <sec> – Set periodic check (60–900, default 300)
  • /sqo set <ms> – Force a fixed SQW (override)
  • /sqo clear – Remove override (back to auto)
  • /sqo quiet / /sqo verbose – Toggle chat output

Why this helps

  • Channeling specs (e.g., Shadow Priest) benefit from slightly larger SQW for clean clipping and smooth queuing.
  • Proc-reactive specs avoid oversized windows that can swallow inputs.
  • Burst/cast-precise specs prefer tighter windows for exact timings.

Safe defaults

Sensible clamps:

  • channel-heavy: 90–140 ms
  • proc-reactive: 70–110 ms
  • burst-precise: 60–100 ms
  • Rounded to nearest 10 ms for readability and stability.

Installation

  1. Extract SpellQueueOptimizer into World of Warcraft/_retail_/Interface/AddOns/.
  2. Enable the addon in the character select AddOns menu.
  3. Type /sqo show in game to verify.
