Christian Thoma @Kalcheus — Christian lives in North Carolina with his wife (gorgeous), son (lovable), and dog (dozing). Better known as Kalcheus and occasionally Chrth, he has been playing World of Warcraft since 2008 and is just as bad now as when he started. A huge fan of D&D since the red box days, he is currently in therapy for his crippling addiction to Norse-themed 5E campaign settings. Stuff he writes that isn't good enough for BlizzardWatch gets dropped off at Kalcheus.com instead.


The Revival Catalyst can upgrade your Dragonflight Season 2 armor to tier gear — now live!

The Dragonflight incarnation of the Revival Catalyst is one of the more popular features recently added to World of Warcraft, allowing players to convert armor into tier gear for both set bonus and transmog reasons. Patch 10.1 keeps the Catalyst going while also removing the clunky charge acquisition mechanic, turning it into a passive charge gain system like the Creation Catalyst in Shadowlands.

The Queue: Shadow Step and Dance With Me

My biggest criticism of Diablo 4 so far: the audio for the Rogue skill Shadow Step is the same as loot dropping. Every time I use it I instinctively look to see if I got a Legendary when all I did was move between targets. Not only that, the overhead icon is the same for an evading enemy — did I tag them or are they just resetting? You’d think having gotten through the campaign twice I’d be used to this, but no. Reusing assets is bad, mmkay!

Anyway while I consider switching to Dash to avoid the issue let’s answer some questions!
