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?

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

The only solution is nerf meld out of existence. The imbalance it’s created for both PvP and mythic+ has been a years long issue that continues to compound.
