Question on console

This isn't about exp on death, most games I play incur penalties. My question is at 90+ on consoles, I can't even pop a monolith on my PS4 without dropping too 1 fps then bam I die and instantly lag is gone. I'm using a PS4 pro with SSD and a upgraded HDD on top...I can't play breaches, end game maps, events, missions, it's just studder step death and I'm slightly annoyed at losing hours of exp because this game I guess just isn't ported well? Any suggestions other than "get a PC"? Im on a 1gbps fiber connection, it's the Only game on my PS4...I just stick to tier 10 no added mod maps? Just to put it out there I'm capped red at 12k hp and can pop a 3k shield so 15k total pool(I know it's irrelevant because if fps, it's just so you know I'm not running a 5k half ass build lol). Any ideas or suggestions I'll take cause I'm about to hang this up.

I play on my old "fat" playstation 4 without SSD and i can do all breachs and monolith, only thing i can't do it's the blight maps. My FPS drop on breach and monolith but i can do easy, on blight maps drop to 1 FPS and i die like you said. What build you use? melee?

Just a Necro, I don't even use vaal skeles cause that's a joke, mostly just cast the 15 skele, and smack stuff with meele....I guess what I'm asking is am I going to be "forced" to avoid certain skills/classes? If it's the case I feel like I shouldn't waste my time =s, the dang breach stones and any blight with 6 or more nodes = unplayable.

Sorry exile... My old Gen1 PS4 is a build tester, it's great to get to red maps, then it's time to retire and try something new.
My necro failed at about T13, even went Montreguls grasp and no spectors and NEVER dropping Vaal Skellies. Didn't matter, couldn't even run T11 Blight encounters, just sold all my blighted maps.
So I thought Icicle mines would be better, hell no, tooooooo much crit calculation for the old girl to keep up with.
Maybe Holy Flame Totems? Nope, too much fire on the screen.
Now I am at Ice shot to get ready for bow league on PC. I just hit 81 and can already tell it won't make it past LV91. BUT I am doing a lot of theory crafting and sitting on my couch! Plus I know these builds would crush with no lag and better items :)
I get all toons to the 90s on PS4 and consider it a success... sadly.
Hoping PS5 hits before POE2!
