Map crash on demand and potential dupe

Playing a Lightning Bolt build using Choir of the Storm. Temporalis lowers the internal cooldown of the Lightning Bolt so that it can proc from itself when it crits.

I noticed that against mobs with a lot of health, the Lightning bolt procs would exponentially scale. Against bosses with multiple phases that don't die within seconds, the game would grind to a halt and crash after 5~ seconds.

I originally noticed this with around 70% crit chance, what I believed was happening was that the Spell Echo I had linked was creating 2 Lightning Bolts with each proc, which each had a 70% chance to create another 2 Lightning Bolts. Against bosses that have invulnerability phases, this could exponentially increase the Lightning Bolts on them. Lowering my crit chance made this better, but still been crashing 20% or so of maps randomly with 45-50% crit chance only. I noticed this happening most frequently with Expedition mobs, so been skipping them, but also just seems to happen at random.

I figured that removing the Spell Echo would let me scale up to 100% crit chance, creating a self sustaining infinite proc that wouldn't scale past the initial input (I use level 1 sparks for this which cast when I blink). However, even without Spell Echo, being at 100% or above crit chance is a guaranteed map crash, with 99% being excessively laggy.

I fear that having an on demand map crash would allow for duping, since it rolls me back to before the start of the map and someone could mule out something I take into the map before I crashed it. I've not tested this though because I don't want to get banned.. lol.
