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 become stealthed. Movement or damage will cause Shadowmeld to deactivate.

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 Elune's power.

In World of Warcraft, any night elf may Shadowmeld at any time.

• Using shadowmeld will temporarily remove you from combat. When you cancel the effect, all aggro that was held towards you is restored, unless the mobs have leashed and reset.
• 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.

While this ability isn't as useful to rogues, it can be used by all classes to hide from attacks or set up a surprise attack. However, an overlooked use for rogues is that Stealth and Shadowmeld operate on different cooldowns. A rogue or druid can use Shadowmeld while their stealth ability is on cooldown without entering a visible state in between. As a bonus, one can log out while in Shadowmeld. However, be warned: you will not be in Shadowmeld or Stealth/Prowl when you log back in.

Shadowmeld can be used both in all shapeshift forms except Flight Form or Swift Flight Form.
