In Blizzard's notes
What Blizzard said about Arcane Missiles, each line checked against the files.
- Matches the files
Arcane Missiles no longer checks line of sight on each missile, just once at the beginning of the channel. So targets moving out of line of sight during the channel will not prevent the missiles.
The files In build 70009 the missile spell of every Arcane Missiles rank (7268 to 25346) gained the 'ignore line of sight' flag (Attributes_2 0x4). The channel spells don't have it, so sight is checked once at cast.
