They increased the minimum view distance a few patches ago, and since then that hasn't happened for me.
I've walked up to castles and due to slow video loading, not actually seen castle walls, and can see all the buildings inside clear as day. If there was a way to flat out prevent the loading of the castle walls, lag or not, you could easily shoot through walls that your client thinks don't exist.

So it is a targeted aoe? Now I see how it does that. First time for me seeing that. Thanks for info. Is its range like tstorm?
I thought thunderstorm couldn't be used beyond castle walls because you can't see inside -- you can however see inside gates. If what darwec says is true, why don't I hear of more mages thunderstorming procs and other buildings down from outside? Is it something people just don't know about?
I know thundestorm hits all things above and below the area, and within the target circle regardless of LOS, but to place the target circle itself, don't you need to have LoS?
There is in fact a few places you can stand to heal and gate and not be affected by LOS. Before anyone asks, no I won't tell you where, just that there is.I think we need to be careful here defining what we mean by through walls.
Things i have seen happen with EB:
I can go UP a wall (hit on top of castles)
I can hit THROUGH a gate.
I have NOT been able to hit though the castle walls to damage someone.
Lem: you were healing a gate correct? I dont believe there is anywhere you can stand to heal the gate that blocks LOS. The rogue most likely shot you through the GATE and not the wall? I have never been able to do damage to a player through a wall, as the wall counts as an obstruction. The mouse cursor will travel up the wall and damage will be done either on the wall, or up the wall.
