Try and disable Framelock inside Settings & Tools.

If the above doesn't help, set the WoW.exe process to "High" on the CPU priority, that fixed it for me.

I'm guessing you're using Singular Combat Routine? If so, the FPS drop problem is Framelock. Disable this in the Class Config and also Settings & Tools and it should all be fine.

There are a few programs that interfere with the bot and can cause lag.
CJ has made mention of this, in detail, within the 'Help Desk' thread - Click Here

madcow344 gives the best explanation I've seen for what is framelock and why it causes lag - see the below quote -

It's hard to axplain but I will try me best ^^

HB is reading stuff trough frames it's needs around the 2-3 frames for each things
so fi you want to check if your mana is lower then 50% it's need 1 frame to send a "checker" and a second frame to receive the information and if your mana in 50% + it will do nothing, but if you mana if below the 50% it will drink so then it will also send something

this is way Dungeonbuddy sometimes will drop your FPS, because dungeonbuddy needs to ready many things an the same time.

framelock will always open 1 frame for HB
this means that single frame isn't used for graphics but it's used for reading stuff

you need to see this like a door
it's faster to keep to door always open then to open go trough and close it.


there is just 1 problem with framelock. Some programmers like to use something that's called "Thread.sleep" this will Hb force to not send and receive, but if you have framelock enabled your screen will freeze and could lagg out!

it's recommend to use framelock for raids/dungeons and ratedBG and arenas

Framelock may be disabled, and a lag fix done, by:

• Open HB
• Click the menu: "Settings & Tools"
• Under the 'General' box, de-slect (uncheck/tick) 'Use Framelock'
• Return to WoW
• Open "Interface"
• Go to the 'Combat' section
• Check 'Custom Lag Tolerance (400 ms)'
