Insane Latency/Freeze

You will know what I mean after watching this: https://youtu.be/h5vs53bgNZo

Bascially being stationary and hold the Spark button then I will see this happen.

I want to know the possible reason:

Is this build's (PF poison spark) issue?
Local internet (ISP) issue? But I have tried relog/VPN, still the same.
Server issue? It happened for the most time but some for maps it is fine? (can't remember)

Never had this issue with my other characters. I want to know if anybody else also had this issue and has possible solution.

Everyone I know is having the same issue and there are several other post on here and reddit. It really bad in 3.24 but some say it been happening since 3.23. On all the POE forums and other post sites regarding this issue, I have yet to see any response from GGG to address this issue.

I have tried several setting changes to POE but nothing seems to work for me. Running on VPN does not change anything, reinstalling game or integrity game file checks all don't seem to work.

Thanks for the information. I don't know this is a thing before this character as I said my other 3 characters don't have such issue. That's why I am guessing maybe is because of the skill. I have searched several posts here but most of their problems are not exactly same to mine.

I have done several tests about it. Personally, if I don't hit mobs in the center of them this problem would be much better. For example, in the Sacred Grove, if you do the same thing but you stand at the opposite side (to Lifeforce Dispersers) of those 'fences' , the latency is fine until mobs come close to you.

I'm not sure if it's a minority who experience this issue, or if the majority haven't yet reached the threshold to trigger this problem. I hope people form GGG can share anything relate to this issue.
