Instance freezing still occurs.

It is pretty much impossible for a player to try and figure out what exactly is causing instances to freeze, to the point of getting unexpected disconnects. Sometimes all it takes is a single hit and the instance freezes.

Sometimes the damage doesn't necessarily has to come from a player, managed to replicate the issue with just Blight Towers dealing damage, the client would freeze and eventually disconnect. But I am able to replicate this with my build, doesn't happen every time, but it's fairly frequent.

I tried lowering graphic settings to divert usage to the CPU, still occurs, increasing settings to divert usage to GPU also still occurs.

This isn't a Blight issue, as I've manage to replicate the issue on another league encounters, but Blight turned out to be the most problematic and consistent.

T16 8mod maps:
Any map. I ran Defiled Cathedral, Wasteland and Forking River

This is what bugs me the most, some maps actually rune fine

On this video I'm cruising through Defiled Cathedral, there are occasional stutters but they are so short that reacting to them is easy.

Sry about the framerate, OBS isn't configured properly.

Having this problem as well. PC is pretty much same specs as yours.

As soon as I enter a map with either Ailith encounter or a Hive fortress, the ping immediately shoots to 800+, stutters and freezes.
So, one thing I have noticed, whenever I take a Searing Exarch Altar with "Curses you inflict are reflected back to you" the game starts to present this issue.

My build inflicts Enfeeble, Despair and Temporal Chains on hit.
