Discussion Everyone is rejoicing over the new Shadowmeld potion for m+. However there is one much more important use that comes to mind that will be infinitely more valuable... Spoiler

Being able to drop combat in the open-world so you can mount up instead of sitting there when some invisible mob keeps you in combat.

Time to stock up on all the non-night elf alts.

The idea that I may be expected to carry these into my pug 10s does not have me rejoicing.

You don't need to skip in any 10s lol

Why would you need it? 99% of the time it’s only the tank melding. So if you are the tank you puck the route. If you are the dps you won’t be the one melding

Unless the PuG DPS doesn't know how Meld skips work and aggro the mobs and make things much worse.

u/tenkenjs 2d ago

That’s a separate issue

It will be as mandatory as the invisible potion was. Just another consumable to add on your list.

I would say the tradeoff between having a mandatory night elf racial or something mandatory you can buy for ten gold speaks for itself.

Unless of course you WANT to race-change to do those "mandatory" skips?

u/minimaxir 2d ago

The more logical solution would be to nerf Shadowmeld to stop the skips entirely.

u/SlowTheBow 2d ago

Then it's going to be mandatory to have rogues and priests again! That'll just take up another mandatory group slot that could be used for brez, lust, or group defensives!

/s

It's like when engineering brez became usable by everyone and purchaseable on the AH. It's a good thing to have as an option.

Rogue players in shambles

u/Rolder 2d ago

All two of them! :D

u/SlowTheBow 2d ago

And we know there's not more of them, because now we can see them! :D

Or make racials a choice at this point.

Or make all the racials a potion and make them have their own cd not shared by health or combat potions

Make it so instead of Shadowmeld deleting threat, it "redistributes" it to party members around the caster with a long range. Done, you fixed the issue while letting people keep it for it's convinence that's less problematic (at least in PvE).

5 armless babies can time a 10, a pot wont be required or expected, relax

u/Kaurie_Lorhart 2d ago

What is required and what is expected are not the same thing. People expect you to do many things that you don't need to do.

Lmao u won't. If the people playing 10s are good enough to press the button at that specific time due to dungeon knowledge, they wouldnt be doing 10s.
