FPS halved by anima conductor graphics on Intel Mac

Thank you for coming back to this thread, Drakuloth.

System info
iMac Retina 4k 27" 2019
3.6GHz 8-core Intel Core i9
16 GB RAM
Radeon Pro Vega 48 8GB
OS 10.15.7

Behaviors
Behaviors mainly include navigating while facing various directions while in Oribos and the zone where you have an anima stream activated particularly Ardenweald and Bastion but also others to a lesser extent. I do not have a character with an anima conductor active that does not have a Stream reinforced, so all of my examples have permanent anima streams. As soon as I enter the path towards the portal to Korthia, away from the central anima stream graphic, the stuttering is removed from Oribos.

Relevant troubleshooting info
Things to troubleshoot that may help pinpoint why these graphics are an issue:

  1. This issue was not present in 9.0 but appeared with the 9.1 patch, same operating system, no change on Mac end. What may have changed in the way you modified this graphical effect?
  2. The same exact drop in FPS happened with the devouring tears sky effect in Korthia but was quickly hotfixed and is no longer an issue for Mac or PC. Possibly could help reduce system load on this element if they compare what was done to fix this? (From July 6th hotfix notes)
  1. Separate issue but potentially related - Tarragrue Hungering Mists in SoD raid brings FPS down to 15 when the black effect is all over the floor and is unplayable even with massive reduction in graphic settings. Could something used in this effect relevant to the anima stream graphical issue? (Have only done first three raid bosses, there may be more issues that I can add) Mac FPS down to 5 during taragrue hungering mists - #9 by Inphernal-bronzebeard
