Zilch.

No result.

Doomed Talents are screwy. Their range is smaller than a normal "4" or "7" in the code, but the targeting display does not reflect this. They can also shoot through walls, so I'm thinking it's a custom targeting code gone wrong. This has been around for as long as Doomed has been IIRC, so it's not new to svn as well.

It's not just doomed - the yeek Domination talent has the same problem, for instance.
