Question about LOS

I've noticed several times today during sieges that when hit with Radiant Destruction, even when I break Line of Sight, I continue to be hit.

Is this working as intended ZOS? Should I /bendover once it's cast on me or is there something else I can do?

    Still think RD is just obvious because of the stream, but Reflective light and dark flares slow moving projectiles also will follow people around corners. Something to do with them calculating path on ability initiation rather than through the entire animation. Seems you can still dodge/cloak those though. Not sure you can dodge out of RD yet or not.

    Yes, it's mostly true for most projectile type abilities. Snipe also follows people to out of range / out of sight if cast early enough and the target doesn't use evade abilities like dodge roll. RD is a little more extreme than the projectile abilities but not by any means unique.

    which is true for most of these threads complaining about RD, when you take your time and really see what it does you will see neither its mechanics nor its dmg is anything to cry about .

    its just so bloody obvious that everyone freaks out -.-

    Well, I would appreciate if I could nullify that ability with both, cloak and dodge, but then I'm not playing a templar >:)

    I do play a templar, but I think I should be able to LoS or Dodge out of it, and every other ranged ability.

    This one is not skilled enough to make strife & morphs actually work as a half decent self heal... The only thing this one has found working is Killer's Blade and that is usually too late :D

    Maybe I should give Leeching Strikes a shot, although I'm hard pressed to kill anyone even without those pesky 23% reduced damage...
