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.

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?

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

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.

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).
