Massive framerate stutter when using destruction staff PS4

hagencopen

I hadn't logged on in probably 6-7 months, so when i noticed the witches festival i decided to roll a fresh elf and get a feel for the game again. It turned out to be a dunmer DK, so i was using a fire destruction staff since level 3. Probably 4-5 days ago i was around level 40 just grinding and running thru the main quest again. No issues from level 3-40. Now, with any type of destro staff equipped(thought mabye it was only fire after my first google) when an enemy dies, framerate drops to zero for a few milliseconds. Its annoying if you are killing one mob. It's unplayable in any type of group setting. After some more googling i did get some hits, but not nearly as many as i had expected. I mean, people are camping the hell out of dolmens these days. there are 20+ people camping a dolmen i have been frequenting. With sword n board out, i have zero framerate loss, with all these people around and spell particle overload, no lag. Switch to the back bar with destro staff on it, i dont even need to attack with it. If an enemy dies with destro staff equipped, framerate drops to zero. I found only a handful of people who posted about this, and the only information in them was pure speculation. Respec your points and dont put any into the destro staff ability that returns magika on kill. Dont use the champion point passive arcane well(does the same thing basically). This has no effect. I guess im just kinda astounded there arent more post about this. Mabye its a known issue and just hasnt been fixed yet so thats why theres no noise about it? I dont know, thats why i wanted to post this. This isnt my video but its the same thing and is on console as well. https://youtube.com/watch?v=yFW-YYYQ7UA

Same issue, but I remember a post like this 4 mmonths ago.... So dont habe ans hopes. It seems to appear randomely, sometimes i can do vsma without fps droos, sometimes not. I always restart my ps4 if it occurs, helps most of the time

Thats what everyone else says too, restart your console. Been doing that but its super annoying. Also yeah, it does appear to be random somehow. I cant stand it, so i'm not even equipping a destro staff anymore which really blows. Just have to wait it out i guess.

I wont wait it out, as I said, I have this issue for over 4 months now.

Really sad

I get it all the time on the xbox, usually when im killing mobs, the more the AoEs, per mob death, gets horrid and unresponsive, but I manage.

So yes, everytime, killing many npcs at once, always.
