high on benchmark with no problems before early access

ive gone through this thread and tried everything ive read, with no noticeable improvement

random stutter with loading in/interacting with npcs, but its mostly that im getting bad lag in battle (dungeons/raids/trials in particular) - buttons pressed wont register as pressed for multiple seconds/similarly lag in skills proccing, and npcs/enemies/aoes are freezing and taking seconds to resume, giving me little to no time to react

i came here after trying to run the level 95 dungeon with npcs, and after dying eight times because i couldnt properly fight the final boss with the amount of lag i was having, i quit out of frustration
Hard to say for sure, but this sounds like a connection issue. Most likely a packet loss, but could also simply be latency. Sometimes even the servers can be weird and route you through a laggy "gate". Have you tried checking your ping to google and maybe even FFXIV sites?
