[Core / Spell] Shadowmeld breaks on eating / drinking

[MrSmite]

Rev: 98f502f

Bug:

The Nightelf ability Shadowmeld breaks when you eat or drink. Since eating and drinking do not constitue "movement" (otherwise they'd cancel themselves) those actions should not break Shadowmeld.

[saqirmdev]

are u sure? I think, you cant eat while shadowmeld

[MrSmite]

Hmm, maybe they removed that since it's useable in combat now...

[MrSmite]

Actually, I'm not sure...

http://www.wowwiki.com/Shadowmeld

"Can no longer eat while in Shadowmeld. If you are eating and/or drinking and then Shadowmeld, you stop eating/drinking"

That's not what I'm talking about though. I'm talking about using Shadowmeld first and then eating or drinking. Only thing I can find says you can't start eating and then Shadowmeld.

... also look for casting resurrection spells.

@Gacko

According to the notes here, Shadowmeld seems to only break on movement, no mention of casting causing it to break. Also it says it breaks eating and drinking but nothing about the other way -> eating and drinking breaking Shadowmeld

Anyway, I'd concede that eating breaks SM and SM breaks eating but I don't think casting revive pet or other such spells should break it.

Cataclysm Patch 4.0.6 (2011-02-08): Can now be used while shapeshifted.
WotLK Patch 3.1.0 (2009-04-14): Using this ability will no longer cause friendly players to deselect the night elf.
WotLK Patch 3.0.8 (2009-01-20): This ability will now properly restore threat when it is canceled. In addition, it will correctly remove a player from combat if it is active when that player is the last person left alive that the creature hates. This ability is now also unusable while affected by [Faerie Fire].
WotLK Patch 3.0.3 (2008-11-04): Cooldown starts upon melding instead of on becoming visible.
WotLK Patch 3.0.2 (2008-10-14): Cooldown increased to 2 minutes, able to use in combat. Can no longer eat while in Shadowmeld. If you are eating and/or drinking and then Shadowmeld, you stop eating/drinking
WoW Patch 1.6.0 (2005-07-12): Now reports the correct error message when attempted in shapeshift form.

WotLK Patch 3.0.2 (2008-10-14):

1. Cooldown increased to 2 minutes, able to use in combat.
   2) Can no longer eat while in Shadowmeld. > Previously you could eat while Shadowmelded but no longer (probably the same for drinking) since it can now be used during combat.
2. If you are eating and/or drinking and then Shadowmeld, you stop eating/drinking. > If you are eating/drinking and trigger Shadowmeld it's canceling eating/drinking.

@nelegano

You provided the same patch notes I did. If you read them however, they only address activating Shadowmeld after you start eating / drinking, not the other way around (activate Shadowmeld first and then eat / drink).

[nelegalno]

Rephrased my previous comment so it'll be clearer what I meant to say.

[lssjbrolly]

This just became an issue on Warsong. I was able to eat shadowmelded prior to the patch, but now eating breaks shadowmeld.

[Aokromes]

Just tested on retail, shadowmeld then eat, shadowmeld removed, so invalid report.

[MrSmite]

so invalid report

Well not really since retail is MoP and Shadowmeld is not even the same spell that it was in WotLK. But I digress... It's not a terribly important issue anyway.

Just saying, eating makes your arm move and you sit, which is movement. Blizzard is know for having weird ways of saying stuff.
