Is it meant for this talent to break Shadowmeld? Because it seems kind of sus for a talent to break the main racial of one of the only 2 races that can play the class.
Taking damage knocks you out of stealth and shadowmeld, so yes, it is intended.
So this is meant to be a Blood Elf-only talent, unless you’re wanting to use it as an auto-CC break in arena? It seems really dumb to design a talent that is functionally only useful for one of the 2 races that play the class.
What? No.
You can literally just use Improved Soulrending instead on that same node. Or you could play Aldrachi Reaver.
I understand -that-. I’m not saying I’m not glad it’s a choice node. I’m saying I can’t possibly believe this was an intended effect.
The buff is up basically the entire time you are in combat (and for six seconds thereafter), i.e., any time you would use shadowmeld. That makes Shadowmeld essentially worthless in PvE as a threat drop or skip tool, which is like, its job.
If they meant it to be this way, they should have made it a straightforward “sacrifice your racial for this ability” node, and made it apply equally to Blood Elves.
Damage has always broken stealth and shadowmeld…not sure why this comes as some shock to you. If you pick that talent then you need to play around it. Don’t use shadowmeld until you can drop the debuff. Or pick something else.
you’re not getting meta back no matter how hard you troll
I never said a word about warlock meta lol. I post on this character but I have 3 DH’s that I play. 1 of which I’ve mained since the first day of Legion. I’m not even trolling you, just telling you that you can pick another talent or another hero talent tree. You’re resorting to terrible insults because I said damage breaks stealth. Stay mad I guess.
You’re answering a question I didn’t ask. I didn’t say “does it do this,” I asked if it was the design intent. Why on earth do you want this to be the way it works? If you aren’t trolling, why are you defending as intended a talent that is so demonstrably worse for one faction?
Why would you be able to Shadowmeld while taking dot damage? It has never worked that way. I gave you the solutions, you either switch to other talents or play around how this one works but you didn’t like that. That isn’t trolling, not even close. Stealth has always been broken by damage and isn’t about to change after 20 years.
