Omen of Reinforcements Exploit

I believe I have discovered a bug with the Omen of Reinforcements.



What happens:

- When using the Omen of Reinforcements, an exile spawns in the moment any monster renders on my screen, in any map including boss maps like The arbiter.



How I believe it happened:

I'm fully spec'd into the Exile section of the atlas, and after I heard someone mentioning they got one of the Rathpith Globe Focus's (Chase Uniques) off of an exile, I began using the Omen of Reinforcements.

For the first few maps it worked as intended, however, I then pathed myself to the Burning Monolith in order to try The Arbiter for the first time.

Upon entering the boss room, everything seemed as it should. He began his voice lines, all was well, then the moment he became targetable and started doing his laser beam, an Exile spawned right next to him and began attacking me. (Scared the life out of me ngl).

I did a couple more kills for the atlas points (without an Omen in my inventory after that) and no Exile popped up.

After returning to my Mapping, the very first map I entered had an Exile at the very start and it consumed my Omen. It wasn't an exile plus an "Ally" as described on the Omen, it was just the singular Exile.

So possibly a strange interaction when entering The Burning Monolith whilst an Omen of reinforcements is active in your inventory?.



Result:

Anytime I start a map, and have an activated Omen with me, it immediately spawns an exile the moment I can visually see the first mob appear on my screen and consumes the Omen. I've tested it about 15 times in all types of maps with numerous different waystones (T15, T15 corrupt, T16, T15 distilled, T16 distilled, in maps with THINGS, in maps without THINGS), the result is the same everytime.



Why it's an exploit and not just a bug:

Right now the Omens are only 5ex each and allow you to force spawn an exile. With the boosts to uniques and the alleged dropping of 20+ divine chase uniques, one could easily sit there entering and exiting their map, CTRL clicking the same map node and entering again to speed farm exiles.



Additional (potentially unintended) bug?:

Not sure if this is intended or an additional bug, but in my testing I also found that if you enter a node on the map using the CTRL + Left click to bring up the traverse option, then without having finished the map, you can click the next node in the chain (which you don't have an active connection to) and traverse that one. Essentially you can travel across the map by just entering and leaving without ever completing a map.


I have stopped using the Omen of refreshment as restarting my client didn't change the interaction and if it's not intended (obviously not) I don't want a ban TY.
