MAKE IT DROP COMBAT like it should. Either fix it or just remove it, it’s useless.
Useless? I use it every day. So much that I miss it on most of my other characters.
It usually does drop combat, but there are a few cases where it don’t, but in those cases it is usually something else that could be what keeps me in combat. Like a combat ally not leaving combat, or a DoT or some kind of delay that makes me re-enter combat somehow. I have the same with mage Invisibility. I feel like I can usually blame it on myself when it doesn’t work.

Nope. Nope. Nope. I killed a demon hunter and was low on hp and he was the only thing around, nothing else. NOTHING ELSE. I killed him, shadowmelded to get into flight form to fly away to heal up before he respawns again. DOES IT DROP COMBAT? NO. So I can’t get into flight form.
This is so satisfying to read. I hope this was an intended nerf on shadowmeld.

It’s not nerfed. I use it every day, usually several times a day. It works. Hard to tell what triggered the one incident Elahri describes, but those are usually isolated incidents.
How quickly after entering Shadomeld, did you go out of it? If you are too fast the “leave combat” might not have triggered yet due to delay. However, when what you are in combat with dies, you should leave combat through that, so you must have been in combat with something else somehow, if you actually had to Shadowmeld.
If you are “stuck in combat”, nothing other than quitting the game tends to work in those cases. And that bug has no relation to Shadowmeld.

Nope, it takes 5 seconds in PVP, unless you use something that theoretically breaks combat. Which shadowmeld theoretically does, but it doesn’t work 100% of the time for some stupid reason.
Didn’t they change that? At least for pvp. I can’t remember where I’ve heard it though
Then that is your answer I assume. Iirc Blizzard one stated that Shadowmeld will not take your out of combat in PvP(just make people lose you as target). I guess that 5 second delay is there no matter what you do, so even in the cases where resto druids Shadomeld and go to drink, they do so by prowling after shadomelding, making that 5 second timer finish. Not 100% sure about this, but makes sense to me. I’m not into PvP.
It does drop combat, unreliably.
hey do so by prowling after shadomelding, making that 5 second timer finish.
You can’t prowl if you’re in combat.
Well, that’s true. Then I am not sure, but from my experience it is far more reliable than it is not, and mage Invisibility and Rogue Vanish suffer from similar issues from time to time. Like I said, I sometimes experience that it’s my own fault that it doesn’t trigger because I overlooked something before Shadowmelding.
Bugs happens though, but imo it is far more reliable than it is not.
“Stuck in combat” bugs have been very frequent this expansion, and nothing can save you from that. I’ve had to quit game and not log on to my charater for a few minutes to get out og it a few times.
So you want to drop combat inside a raid just because you are a nelf right? And reuse pots while all others stick to their prepot and 1 pot…
Or you wanna use your racial in pvp and instantly have a drink.
Youre a nelf, but youre not that special as you think you are im afraid.
This is how it should always work. For some reason it doesn’t remove combat sometimes.
That’s not how shadowmeld works. You can never drop combat in raids unless you die.
It’s an overpowered racial, of course it shouldn’t drop combat in PvP.
What is this, 2005? It would literally be a second vanish for rogues or a vanish for druids.

Thats how it should be, because if it was not like this it would give a HUGE unfair advantage to non nelf classes. Nobody wants that even from the alliance.
Dropping combat as a healer means you can channel 2 potions mid-fight instead of 1 and also give you the right to have another dps pot.
Good thing I never asked for that then.
Might it have something to do with the person not fighting you back?
What happens if somone attack you back before you shadowmeld?
Of course it should, when it works as it should, it drops combat. Sometimes it doesn’t, for unexplainable reasons.
Does it mention on your tooltip that it drops combat?
If it does, it should.
If it doesnt it should not.
Simple stuff
Nope, it doesn’t.
At the end.
