100% CPU usage after entering zone with rain.

Since the launch of the expansion I have experienced massive frame rate drops when entering certain zones after playing a while bouncing between zones and maps. As far as I can tell it's related to the rain which I never had any issues with, even at Dominus, prior to the patch.

When this happens my CPU load goes to 100% (normally around 50-75%) and as a result my frame rate goes down to 2-5. This persists for 1-5 minutes before my CPU load goes back down to 85-95% for the duration of the zone. When moving back to my hideout it's all back to normal and other zones function just as you would normally expect.

Have updated Windows, graphics drivers and closed down browser yet the problem persists. No idea what was changed but an option to disable the rain until a fix can be provided is needed.

Rainy zones were never much of a problem for until after Forsaken Masters came out. Now it's terrible.
