Shadowmeld


 * The forests of Teldrassil are not so empty as they appear.

Shadowmeld is a racial ability possessed by night elves that allows them to use Stealth. Movement or damage will cause Shadowmeld to deactivate.

Background
In World of Warcraft, any night elf may Shadowmeld at any time. In Warcraft III, night elves were only able to use it at night, and it was only available to females (not males, who were all druids). According to Tyrande Whisperwind's dialog, it is a power granted to the night elves by the goddess Elune.

Tips and tactics

 * Using shadowmeld will temporarily remove you from combat. When you cancel the effect, all aggro that was held towards you is restored.
 * With timing and attention to patterns, many mob patrols may be evaded in Shadowmeld. Hunters can combine the skill with Feign Death (to break combat) to solo instances, while Rogues and Druids could simply stealth.
