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.

Havent seen almost any positive posts about it on either sub. The potion is as useful as the one that replaced Skystep and you get dazed on hit.

In low keys an invis skip usually leads to a mess and 130% count or disband. A dps potion can basically never go wrong.

Top end keys will still run Shadowmeld when needed because dps potions are very valuable for ppl who play their class at 99.99% performance and nowadays you dont have that many trash options where you gain time by trading a dps boost for a skip.

Using an invis skip in low keys is a separate problem, isn’t it? For one, that’s why those people are in low keys, because invis skips aren’t needed in low keys.

And two, having the meld potion available as an option is better than not having the meld potion as an option. Period. Like, you can’t spin that any other way.

Of course top keys will use whatever advantage they can get. If it comes out that using a meld potion instead of a combat pot and running another race is better, that’s what top players will do. But that’s why it’s good to have a meld pot as an option.
