How much does latency affect DPS?

Unread postby Itsmesoft Wed Apr 19, 2017 5:41 pm

Mod edit: Moved to Q&A

I play at around 50ms and a friend of mine plays at 30ms (we both play Frost Mage). Does 50ms bring your DPS down noticeable compared to 30ms?

Thanks :)

EDIT: I guess that what Im trying to ask is that if 50ms is considered a terrible high ms or if it's just fine to play on without any major impacts on dps :)

frost is definitely more fickle than fire when it comes to latency but only a 20ms difference shouldn't see any significant change ... I think you might notice a difference every 100ms or so and definitely somewhere around the 300ms mark the spec breaks down altogether and basic shattering no longer works 100% and you lose huge dps

Does that mean that it's possible to get the most out of your Frost Mage at 50ms? :)
