In the WoW Shadowlands beta, it was previously possible to turn the Venthyr signature ability Shadowgate into a spontaneous spell with a Soulbond talent. This would give you up to a 35-yard teleport with no casting time - pretty powerful. However, this Soul Band perk has now been modified. Instead of making Shadow Gate a spontaneous spell, the ability now gets two recharges and the cooldown/recharge time has been increased from 60 to 90 seconds.

Shadowgate

lets you select a point on the ground up to 35 meters away and teleports your character to the desired location a short time later (1.5 seconds casting time)

.

Of course, the destination must be in line of sight, and even the smallest hiccups can prevent a path from being found. The Venthyr ability might not be as strong as it is made out to be, but it still causes discussions in the community.

Many see the teleport ability as a way to gain an advantage in Mythic Plus dungeons by simply bypassing annoying groups via teleport. After the supposed nerf, you can now even use Shadow Gate twice in a row and cover an even greater distance in a short amount of time. Also in the raid, a targeted teleport should be helpful in one or the other situation. Especially hardcore players feel pressured to choose Venthyr just because a mythical boss fight should be simplified by a teleport.
