I have no issues with those maps, or really anything in the game, but I play a different build. Also have PS4 Pro with SSD upgrade.
PSN: Cimos21
I had the same issue last league (Xbox one s). Tried doing a molten strike dualist champion and the game would crash whenever I got into a big pack. Bought the molten strike stygian effect hoping it would sort the issue and only made things worse. The visual effects of the molten strike are too taxing on a console I think. I Ended up spending a huge amount of regrets (and exalts to change gear) to re-roll into a cyclone slayer which worked really nicely, ended up at level 95 at the end of the league.

Playing winter orb this league and that’s working like a treat too, no problems at 94 so far.

Playing with an old PS4. I originally started with a winter orb/ice storm build and while it was super fast and had great kill speed, it was so laggy it would almost freeze me and my friends anytime I used the skill for more than a second lol.

Started a new character and followed Enki's Arc Witch build and I haven't had a problem since but I do still lag when playing with multiple people.
Ps4 Pro Usb ssd
Started as Storm Brand Elementalist - dropped on the 3rd day at around lvl 80. Even after recent patch where ggg claimed the increase of Storm Brand performance, it was "a little bit" clanky...

SoulRend noncrit trickster became my main force and usually game performs good.
Lag spikes at shrines' hordes, Beyond mod, and all kind of ambushes and Abysses still happens, but.... no... no buts... it IS horrible lags - killed me so many times.

Got platinum trophy with Soulrend trickster. Its not a big deal for PC poe veterans, but it is a big achievement for me.

At some point I respec'ed my Witch for Winter Orb after buying and rolling 6l on Inpulsa (with 23 Orbs! Really!) and tried to play with her, but...
Game just don't like when you -
- crit
- cast on crit
- create explosions of any kind on mob' death (Inpulsa, Herald of Ice, etc)
- summon things during Rampage
- play for long without restarting
- write psn messages
- receive trade proposals during laggy fight
- think that you can faceroll another abyss =)

I am new to the game, on ps4 , now on tier 9 maps (I always try to alc them or at least do magic and quality since I have many chisels, unid when I find them). Havent had any major problem like that but I am using the Cold DoTs. Mostly taking my time and using Artic Breath, and I have a big Vortex which casts instantly and kills everything around me. If I want to do incursions and other blitz missions or just hurry through maps before work, I can drink 3 or 4 flasks (I have phasing, evasion, quicksilver and sulfur) shoot AB out in front of me then just run up in a group and Vortex. On bosses I'm just running around trying to bury them in vortex,cold snap, and AB at all times staying evasive. I kinda wanted to try out every Cold and poisons skill in the game and I found these was my favorite, and its effective.

I used Trickster. Occultist looks real nice, I understand she can apply 2 curses... I wanted to do that but I didn't know about curse limits , now I am trying to get that perk so I dont have to rely on gear for it. Putting temporal chains and enfeeble with blasphemy aura support , possibly switching to frostbite if enemy resistance is a problem, will be really nice.

I play molten strike on ps4 pro and a very good internet connection. In massive groups (groups that fill the whole screen) i get frame drops but it is very much playable in my case.
I'm playing molten strike as well. There are a few times where i've lagged so bad (temple incursions being the most punishing) that i've been unable to complete timed events.

It's not just a console issue, i've had this happen on PC as well, it is just far more noticeable on console since it happens more often. I really hope this gets addressed soon.
