One Potion to Change the Meta?

Stan's Avatar by Stan

In Patch 11.2: Ghosts of K’aresh, Blizzard is introducing a new potion that could shake up high-end Mythic+ strategies big time!

For years, Night Elf players have enjoyed a significant advantage in Mythic+ dungeons thanks to Shadowmeld iconShadowmeld‘s ability to instantly drop aggro and skip trash. It’s become almost mandatory in high-end runs that that team comps often revolve around bringing Night Elves just to pull off these skips.

However, Blizzard has taken notice, and in 11.2, they’re introducing Umbral Essentia iconUmbral Essentia, a potion, that will replicate the effect of Shadowmeld, opening up that utility to all races.

The goal is to reduce the pressure players feel to bring Night Elves to Mythic+ to stay competitive.
