maybe you also have to disable framelock within the botbases (like tyrael) and the custom routine / class

Tyrael framelock is linked with HB framelock, disable one = disable both, change TPS on one = change on both.

TPS yes, but multiple each combat routine, or plugin or anything else can implement framelocking ON TOP of the basic all encompassing honorbuddy setting.
if your not on a highend pc, then disable it.

This is correct, but only with the latest Tyrael .

What does it do exactly?

Hi,

The addition of FrameLock and TPS to HonorBuddy is new to most people -especially any that did not use LazyRaider or Tyrael.

Caution -GatherBuddy2 and overflying:
It should also be cautioned that FrameLock and TPS can cause serious problems with your gathering in GatherBuddy2. For use with GatherBuddy2 it is currently advised to have TPS set to lower than 15 (I recommend 5) otherwise you can 'overfly' nodes, the act of which looks very bot like!

When you need it and what it does:
Both TPS and FrameLock can respectively and collectively improve the number of engagements between HonorBuddy and Wow in a given space of time; essentially that is what they do. As emmark has said, the excellent Tyrael thread has a good explanation and some further recommendations. If you are not using a raiding botbase as CodenameG suggests, turn off FrameLock.

System impact
Both TPS and FrameLock can effect system performance! You must use trial and error to find what works best for you. I have a high end CPU (4.3Ghz i5 and fast 16GB RAM) but in LFRs FrameLock and 60 TPS is still very demanding. It can at least half my framerate, sometimes more and not always are the benefits (increased DPS) apparent; it is trial and error and depends on your CR. Finally, a personal summation, FrameLock is not worth a system crash -don't enable if your system is hurting because of it.

Some example settings:

Casual LFR raiding:
TPS=60 and FrameLock=OFF. Set TPS to your average frames per second in WoW. FrameLock should only be enabled if your CR actively supports it.

Gathering:
TPS=5 FrameLock=OFF. This is important when using GatherBuddy2.

PVP:
TPS = your average to higher frames per second in WoW and FrameLock=ON if your CR supports it.

Everything else:
TPS=15 and FrameLock=OFF

Thank you for that explanation.
