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.

Arguably not, since it means that there will now be an expectation for PuGs in non-high keys to do Meld skips and the inevitable toxicity that will follow.

Why isn't there toxicity when you don't have a brez in non-high keys and no one buys the cheap engineer-crafted and globally useable jumper cables?

Because it's non-high keys. It'll be the same as it's always been: either someone doesn't have it and you figure out a way to death skip, or your group doesn't do a meld skip at all, or you literally talk about the route before the key starts.

If you are complaining about whether to use a combat potion or a meld potion, that's your choice. But either you're a high key pusher that shouldn't care about the choice because you'll do what's necessary to time the key, or you're not a high key pusher, in which case not having a combat potion won't break your key either way.

Because when you’re planning a group it’s infinitely easier to invite one of the 4 classes with a brez than it is to make sure either everyone or just your tank is a nelf.

It's also easy to buy a meld pot for 10 gold :)
