Build: Not supplied by the cited source
No exact affected build, verified workaround or shipped fix is established here. Input delay alone cannot identify this issue; this is separate from claims about Classic off-hand hit behavior.
What to check next
Record the client build, ability and rank, latency, current queue setting, target and any macros or addons involved.
On the same target, compare your follow-up ability with and without an on-next-attack ability queued. Keep other settings unchanged and capture the input sequence.
Repeat both conditions and keep unchanged or mixed results. This comparison can document a symptom; it does not prove a cause or a universal fix.
