Hello, I spoke with Technical Specialist Zeadom asking me to put this into a bug report forum post.
My friend and I have been experiencing awful lag spikes while trying to push some greater rifts. As seen here:

This seems to happen every time we have even the slightest ‘big’ pull to mow down. If I am not instantly killing every mob we end up with a lag spike as shown. This effects both us at the same time for the same amount of duration. Hopefully having a video show casing the event will help. If there is more information needed to share please let me know and I will try to give as much detail as possible.
I don’t play wizard, but I will be at some point. Specifically the tal rasha meteor build is super laggy in massive pulls. You have a huuuuuge pull on screen and meteor just lags immensely in massive pulls.
Wudijo made a video about this recently I believe, if my memory serves me correct he said something along the lines of “With meteor wizard, you can create some serious lag and this usually happens in really big pulls on high gr’s. To minimize this, we created smaller pulls than we normally would and had one of us slowly aggro more mobs to slowly bring into the pull”.
TLDR: don’t create massive pulls in high gr with tal rasha wizard it makes the game super laggy
but first things first turn off those hp numbers holy cow! might see some performance increase just with that on your end
I had something today where i finished a bounty then got tossed out while in the map, twice as least today and did not count for completion…Annoying and first i’ve had that happen.
Thank you for the video. The exact same thing happens for me on my wizard. My barbarian partner pulled over 60 mobs on a GR 142 and then I started dropping meteors and lagged out for 20 seconds. We have both tried dropping our graphics settings, and that had no effect.
I have been seeing spikes as well solo runs in NR/GR/Bounty runs. Rebooted PC and router, no change. Seems worse this season imho.
Game servers just can’t handle all the different calculations.
No amount of rebooting your PC or router can help Blizzard update their code / hardware.
