Quote:The physical part of CE can be blocked by any physical obstruction in the map area between you and the corpse in addition.
I don't know if you're an mpq fiend or not, but (player and Nihl) CE has nothing for LineOfSight column (so what you described shouldn't he happening, it should always hit you), the peculiar thing about this column though is all skills have either nothing or a 4, maybe either of 1-2-3 controls if the physical portion checks LoS or not, and it's off by default?
Seems to me by Blizzard logical that it's a bug though.

This is really on a silly level in in-doors parts of act 5, both my Hammerdin and fire Sorc breezed through there, killing monsters in 1-5 hits, then Frenzytaurs show up and they kill me over and over, not even 50 hits kills them.
For my Sorc I think it took on the lines of 200+ hits and 3 deaths to kill a particular Frenzytaur pack. And with what you mentioned of "luck", that sure is true, since monster spawning is random it's not that often that Frenzytaurs show up.
