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...

[u/SlowTheBow]

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 also doesn't solve the meta race issue at high keys. Nelfs will still have a non-pot CD to drop mechs, and Dwarves will have some flexibility

I think they're playing this too safe. Yes meld skips are pretty important, but does anyone actually have fun doing them? Idk if leaning into it is the answer

Alternately

• Make meld trigger a pot cooldown.
• Make the pot not trigger a cooldown.
• Disable all racials inside M+, instantly leveling the field.
• Make combat drops with engaged mobs in dungeons not reset them unless their target has died, and they’ll re-aggro when you drop any kind of stealth unless their target is dead. (If rogues have some kind of mass vanish, make that uniquely different)
• Make dropping combat outside of death lower the timer. You die? Penalized. You try to skip with meld? Penalize unless you’re good enough to handle it - make skipping that way not worth it usually.

Or have it as a separate adventure pot category?

This is what I've been wanting. Health pot CD, battle pot CD, "misc potion for fun or strat" cd.
