I leveled my 3rd Druid HMT after I saw you talking about it a couple months ago, and I agree I do really like the racials especially on boomy
HMT fdk that charged with uber pillar up was unexpected

And this potion just turned Nelf in one of the worst race for m+.
They should just had nerfed it if it was so OP.
But Im an advocate for removing racial aince TBC.
For some reason I keep hearing the ânerf Shadowmeldâ in my head, set to the âBlame Canadaâ song from southpark.

Yeah that racial when I was trying as a range is pretty damn powerful. The charge has a longer range than it seems, much longer, is just playing as a cow has some of itâs own visual nerfs for some players since it seems everyone loves playing elfs 
.
Yeah if nelf could be shaman Iâd only play that even when shadowmeld is terrible for enh. I have a name/boost saved for the day 
The charge is good but the healing absorb is even better. Nothing properly tracks it though so flies under the radar.

Is it really an issue for non druids rogues ?
Donât forget hunters!
I think that the issue is magnified at higher rankings probably (which I donât play at obviously)
Gaining the max benefit from shadowmeld is something I certainly wouldnât be able to do, and the lower ratings I play at Iâve never seen anyone use it to great benefit. For those still learning or playing at a lower skill level (unless they are playing a class that can restealth to utilize that benefit easily) another racial can be a lot better
Using it to avoid incoming attacks/crowd control? I am definitely not capable of doing that reliably yet. I would bet a lot of players arenât. So it definitely loses value in those cases
Well, no, because now the racial is a combat potion cd. As it sort of was before. Meld still giga for either dodging deadly abilities or skips (misery or just dragging minibosses out of the way).
See most races donât really contribute anything to a dungeon scenario whereas nelf offers a lot of things alongside dwarf with their dispel self button.
Most other options underwhelming/niche.

Wait you mean the damage reduction right??
Itâs looks like itâs calculated based on stamina. I might be wrong though.
Correct and thanks, I meant damage reduction. But yeah details doesnât track it and I donât think even the scoreboards at end of arena/bgâs do either.
How would you propose they balance Shadowmeld?
My suggestions:
- Does not drop combat
- 2.5 second cast time (PvP Only)
Or better yet, make it as long as a Greater Pyro cast, lol!
Ha. Good one.
NERF SHADOWMELD ALREADY (PART 14)
Just make it not break combat already

Eh Iâm kinda okay with the breaking combat part⊠Itâs the immune to things already in the air thatâs the problem. Also is the problematic part when cheaters use scripting.
I mean the way it works in keys it canât be unless they render is unusable in combat and in pvp itâll always be a problem for drinks, druids and rogues. 
The only âfixâ is probably making it so it canât be used in combat and then then the night elf players will do to blizz social media what sylv did to teldrassil.
Honestly coolest thing about the racial is the casual qol of being able to drop combat out in the world if you get bugged or just have a mob thatâll take 30 seconds to catch up and I wish we had an item that replaced it.

I donât think iâve ever seen this the entire xpac. Unless Iâm facing an rdruid/destro iâd rather be on any other race generally. I meld stuff all the time and people call me a cheater. Just kinda feels cringe to get outplayed and then immediatly go âOH SHES CHEATINGâ
idk to me the most powerful thing is the free re-stealth followed by a fast stun. Just kinda makes rogue/druid feel even more unkillable and much harder to deal with
âoh cool this is his 3rd vanish in 45 secondsâ
It is powerful for those two for sure⊠Still I think itâs worse for any other class to be able to immune a stormbolt or something. That seems way more powerful.
Iâm bad so I wouldnât know 
Yeah I dunno⊠Rogues and druids are pretty annoying even without it? Like whazz playing orc rogue in the finals of the AWC. Litterally never looked like he was gonna die

orc is really strong in the mirror thatâs why heâs playing it (Iâm assuming)
You pretty much canât die to a setup if you prefeint w/ orc
