Client Freezing when using Elite Buffs
I didn't want to make this thread because I wasn't able to find anyone else in game having this issue, but this has been happening to me for weeks now and I cannot figure out why. Basically what happens is if I use Talisman Trio or Everful Nostrum, my client will freeze with an hour glass for a few seconds. If I try to use both at the same time, my client will freeze for well over a minute. I've tried reinstalling the game twice and I am still having the same issue even with fresh clients. It's frustrating since part of the reason I have elite is for that benefit but for some reason I'm having major issues with this. Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this to happen? I seem to only be having issues with these two buffs when I use them, the game runs perfectly fine otherwise so I'm pretty stumped here.

Before they were added to the elite bar, they caused zero lag. Now, it's a client freeze every time I use either of them. It's not long, granted, but even a second of freezing in a HM dungeon can mean death. I'd actually prefer not having them on the bar anymore if it means dealing with the lag every time I need to use them mid-fight.
this helped me alot in this game and other ones like wow
There are people with very high end PCs that have this issue. That's not a solution.
So whatever it is, there seems to be some sort of other contributing/complicating factor, but who knows what that is... (If it's locking up the client like this, my instinct says it's some sort of scanning app, like anti-virus or something that's locking a file temporarily, but it's definitely weird.)
It's something that didn't exist back when we first had them as items rather than part of the elite bar (at least, no one I know had the problem back then), so however it's connected to the elite bar now seems to have caused this lag for some people. I was surprised when I came back for this patch and noticed that it was lagging me out every time I used them. When I asked some friends about it, they all had the same lag whenever they used it, and said it had been that way ever since it was added to the elite bar.
I'm not a particularly tech-savvy person; is there a way to figure out if a process is hindering a file? I thought adding the TERA folder and .exe to antivirus exclusions would prevent an AV from trying to fight it.
Then again, the massive UI lag we used to get (still have, but the client doesn't lock up anymore whenever you open your bag like it did two years ago) was widespread and didn't have anything to do with something client-side, since they were able to reduce certain parts of the UI lag over time. I'm wondering if it's the same sort of issue we had back then, because it's exactly the same as what used to happen when I swapped crystals while having my character window open (albeit, the screen freeze back then did last twice as long as this freeze).
Seeing the discussion above, I suspect the game settings which might have been set down for the GTX 960 (because I'm also playing with lowered magical effects). Please help identifying and narrowing the problem to pass it to EME.
The items need to be on a skillbar and you need to assign hot keys to them, pressing alt and right clicking them will not cause a freeze(Unless you have them on skillbar and have used them before trying with cursor)
Usually this doesn't happen to me on Level 1 characters, or new fresh characters. Only seems to be on any level 65 I have.
