    Kind of odd time to randomly step in and de-shadowlands abilities.

    And also you would go all over Kalimdor in no time, the difference in size is too high to maintain the speed.

    Let's hope they'll eventually edit the visuals as well. Some classes have jarringly clashing ex-shadowlands abilities like Havocs The Hunt, which does not fit well with the rest of the kits visuals.

    Most (if not all) covenant abilities will be changed this patch. Convoke, The hunt, insect swarm, shifting power, faeline stomp to name a few.

    There will be glyphs for the Shadowlands versions of the affected spells.

    They did that in the previous built, here they started changing names as well.

    Because you'd fly over EK or Kalimdor too quickly. Those continents weren't made with the idea of dragonriding in mind.

    What time would be better than the end of an xpac where they can concentrate on side things like names and visuals of spells?

    In this case it's kinda odd, with the shadowlandsy tree being in azeroth now and azeroth acting through it, it would have made sense for the first time to actually still be able to use shadowlands powers here. But If they change the elements and effects of those spells I won't complain, with the exceptions of dk-maldraxxus and druid-ardenweald abilities, none of them really fit the classes anyway. I'm glad if shifting power starts looking like an actual mage spell, not some random trinket effect.
