Patch 0.12 Line of Sight
Line of Sight, version 0.12, is dated 27 Oct 2026. Area spells now stop at pillars instead of drawing through them. That is the map rule Nagrand and Ruins were missing: a column is cover for ground effects, not only for bolts. Priest changes land in the same note. Shadowform drops if you press Power Word: Shield, Discipline receives a Life Swap talent in place of Rapture, and Shadow receives Psychic Horror in place of Void Shift. Shift-F targets your already-set focus; it does not set the focus.
Hotfix 0.12.1, Smoother Connections, fixes fallback connections that rubber-banded when many people logged in at once. Hotfix 0.12.2, A Quieter Town, lowers other players’ spell sounds in town and adjusts where warrior rage comes from. The rage rule is revised again in 0.14.1, so read that page before you memorise a rage formula from this one.
N for the spellbook is already in the client by the 0.9 / 0.12.2 window. I list the current keys on keybinds, because 0.21 moved targeting keys after this build.
Questions
Do area spells ignore pillars?
Not after 0.12. They respect line of sight.
What is Shift-F?
Target focus: it makes your existing focus the current target, not the other way around.
What did 0.12.1 fix?
A stuttering fallback connection during heavy login.
