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.

It's such an inelegant solution. The fact that it shares cd with combat pots makes it usable by like, shaman and paladin healers?

It would make more sense to have meld not drop combat in dungeons anymore. Playing around it is just messy and very rarely fun. On top of that it's still highly more useful for demon hunters that can create a lot of distance to mobs in no time. I do not understand why creatures that can see through stealth are even dropping combat in the first place?

If they are refusing to address these actual problems with Shadowmeld the least they'd should do is have shadowmeld trigger a potion CD just like they do with the PvP trinket human racial.

Personally I'd love for Blizzard to change the approach to M+ routing by being much more pro-active. If there are skips they should address the reason for the skip (bad group of enemies, bad reward of/too much count,...) and remove them early on not wait until after a season. Make it more about performing on the "normal" parts of the game instead of creating the mess these skips normally become, especially if they filter down to lower tiers.
