Other than Shadowmeld, is there any other reason to take Night Elf over Kul Tiran. Like, what significant situations other than PvP would Shadowmeld be useful? I always hear how OP it is. Im only curious because I really like the OG KT druid forms
Personal experience having played nearly every druid race - don’t underestimate the benefits of Shadowmeld. I don’t even particularly like NE but Shadowmeld pushes the odds in their favor.
Another knock against KT, and this is purely personal, many of the transmogs don’t look quite right on them. Then again, NE males look weird in a lot of transmogs too.

In my opinion, night elves look better in druid sets because they don’t have an overhanging gut. I won’t claim our racials are better, but I enjoy the aesthetics of night elves more and especially our night elf druid forms.
Drops combat in PvE so u can drink , prowl , flight form , reset a bad pull , basically you can disappear then pick your poison from the spell book if used correctly. Nelf also has other advantages just check the spell book.

I really missed Shadowmeld in remix (main is ne druid, in remix i played tauren pala)
Getting out of the combat bugs is huge for me.

If you’re min maxing nelf is bis as meld counts as stealth so you can get a stealth rake/shred
Shadowmeld can be used for a lot of cheese mechanics thanks to the combat reset. It is also super handy if you get stuck in combat and want to mount.
Given the number of M+ cheese strats involving it, it should probably be removed for the health of the game. That being said, you need a coordinated group to use it, so for most content players won’t care that you are KT.
Stealth is a huge advantage, does not matter who has it. If you remove shadowmeld you can remove stealth for other classes as well.
Agreed
There is a huge difference between class based stealth vs racial stealth. Rogues are meant to have vanishes. Feral druids can do it once on a very long cooldowm after investing heavily in Incarnation over other capstones. Every class (that Night Elves can be) having access to a vanish and deaggro is busted, and the snapping of mobs in M+ demonstrates that.
lol no
Its the same playbook
If you choose not to take it at the start of the game thats your problem, not shadowmelds.
Its not the same playbook. You know its busted as well as anyone, you are just being hyperbolic to conflate the issue. A tank being able to pull, cc and then drop combat with Shadowmeld to get ported to the group, and consequently snap mobs back to them as a skip, isnt the same as a rogue using vanish. But sure, if you want your hyperbole I couldnt really care less if they deleted vanish as well since I dont play rogue and the druid version is trash.
lol exactly
you dont care about other people, but i at least try to.
anyhow i dont want to make people feel bad and it feels like im going down that road again with you, so sorry.
No you dont. You just care about your own busted ability rather than the health of the game.
I dont feel bad. I have a night elf druid. I just call a spade a spade.
honestly they should up and delete most of the new classes before they change core classes and abilities. But i think the game is going ok all things considered.
Folks Shadowmeld is fine. It is not the reason people complete high level content. Is it better than some other racial abilities? Yes by a mile and I am remaining objective on the matter. During some M+ seasons when dungeons with a lot of bleed abilities are common it makes Dwarf the desired racial. Other Races can still complete the same content.
Play the race of Druid that you want and what you enjoy…except for trolls, F those guys.
