I'm talking about clerics hiding behind a corner to block LoS of the AE. Indoor zones, walls, you know smart stuff i.e. positioning.

This is smart tactics.

What I speak about, which is what was quoted above is different from smart tactics. It's exploiting a bug.

Clerics who don't require line of sight to heal have always been able to hide behind walls. But on P99 Beta you were able to hide your tank under a step/hole in the ground, continue to hit with melee/hold aggro/do DPS all the while avoiding AEs because of the geometry. This wasn't classic and players trying to do this on classic would've been met with "you cannot see your target" messages. Here however you can stand underneath a step, hit a dragon with a large hitbox, so long as the center of the dragon is above you and completely avoid their AE. That is broken and should be removed.

If you want to melee or cast detrimental spells on a dragon, his AE should be hitting you, if it's not because of positioning you should receive "you cannot see your target" messages.

Making Hitboxes only function from the center of the dragon upwards would likely fix this. By requiring you be on even footing or levitating above a dragon and always in LoS to actually melee them.

But alas, I digress. It's not a big factor but pretty cheesy like burning SoulFires, Traks Teeth and Ivandyrs Hoops.

Stuff about exploits

I believe Conquest ate a ban on Lanys on live for exploiting the Z axis. Something about warders and a bridge.
