Artillery Ballistas Still Bricking my PC

First time playing since the patch the other day. Had a lot of issues with crashing before in .02. No real problems the prior league. One solution for not crashing as much was using the greatwood gem for 1 giant totem, but it's not very much fun as it's not as good as multiple totems.

Logged in. Took out greatwood. Put in font of blood. Laid down maybe 5 or 6 ballistas, started walking (no combat, mind you) in a blooming map and my PC froze.

This is something you can replicate. I am playing a tactician. Ballistas are "his thing". If you could clone my character/config on the test server and fix this I would appreciate it because POE2 is totally unplayable in this state on this class/build.

Thanks
