Game Mechanics: Separate thread: Spell casting should go through walls

[Nirgon]

We've brought this up in other threads but part of the experience of being a caster (aside from having to deal with dispelling/debuffing targets) was that you could cast detrimental spells on players through walls once you have a target much like you could with healing spells. I suppose the client at the time didn't discern the difference between beneficial and detrimental and just checked for target being player.

I mean glhf on finding evidence on this, I've started looking. Hopefully some vets can come out of the wood work and bump and put any personal interests aside.

The resist fix is going to hurt some and its already a challenge fighting in tough indoor areas against melees... this classic change does even the playing field and introduces some gr8 variations of bind sighting people/running in to grab a target for a group and retreating etc [You must be logged in to view images.
