Shadowlands Season 4 Raid Loot Clarifications - Creation Catalyst, No Shards of Domination, Upgrade Shards

wowhead.com:

Earlier today, Blizzard explained the current plans for loot and rewards in Shadowlands Season 4 raids. Blizzard has followed this up by clarifying some details, including tier sets, domination sockets, and heroic/mythic upgrade shards. Original Announcement on Shadowlands Season 4 Loot and Rewards Quick Highlights:

LFR will have a Fated Difficulty. No Timegating. A World Boss will also be fated every week and drop 285 Fated gear.

The upgrade items can skip difficulties. Dropping in to clarify a few common trends of questions I’ve seen around, then will get back to combing. I want to keep my responses to things related to the Raid rewards as outlined in the post:What about Tier Sets?Your 9.2 Tier Sets are still active in Season 4, and the Creation Catalyst will remain on with all of its accumulated charges.

Tier Tokens won’t be added to Castle Nathria and Sanctum of Domination, as you’ll be able to upgrade any item you get to a higher ilvl piece of Tier just like you can on live right now. Domination SocketsShards and Domination bonuses will be disabled entirely for Season 4. We didn’t want to place extra pressure on the tuning of specifically Fated Sanctum to require it, and there was enough of a class/armor type disparity at which specs/classes could potentially wear a 3-set Domination Bonus and their 4-piece vs others that it would create a weird imbalance on those weeks.
