In my opinion the compromise they settled on is the best solution. Los check at beginning only, with no penalties such as less damage if not in los on spell landing.

I believe a spell penalty for not having end of cast los is an unwarranted pressure against picking an already weak arche type: intelligence caster.

I also believe wormoct's idea of EQ is him running after int casters, with them always running away with no hope of fighting back. No hope of ever landing a spell in a dungeon etc...They are to obviously take the place of the greenies he used to kill by the 1000's.

Sometimes to check if it's even, you have to put the shoe on the other foot. Double los check makes melee virtually invulnerable in some zones. Imagine if in some zones casters where virtually invulnerable.

Any partial nerf would be partially guilty of the above.
