Seems like everyone is running Invoker’s right now but I can’t see myself getting that anytime soon.
So just comparing Keefer’s vs Escape from Reality what are everyone’s thoughts/personal opinions?
I like the idea of burst and a gap closer from Keefer’s but I’m worried about the playstyle change of setting up RSKs around the crit buff.
Escape from Reality seems more fluid to play with and great defensively but offers nothing damage wise and I feel like damage helps more than defensive right now, especially in arena.
Keefers is a great legendary for solo content, in fact, world questing, battle grounds and just general solo stuff, keefers is superior in every way. Invokers works much better against bosses and enemies with higher health pools (longer fights, more CDs to use). I crafted both, il upgrade invokers first though.
Invokers let’s you hit 1 combo point rising sun kicks reliably without having to take alpha tiger as a pvp talent, freeing this option up for better choices during matchup that could be better used for something else. Like harm denial, disarm, tigereye brew vs arms/holy where tigereye brew will A) hit through blessing of protection and B) help with smacking on plate, harm denial for the chi and extra healing on yourself, disarm to save your booty.
Without Invokers you rely on alpha tiger to get those 1 chi rising sun kicks.
Most high end people say Invokers over keefers, keeping escape for fights where you almost certainly need the escape - but if you have the ash then craft all 3 and choose them to your situation.
If you run without a healer keefers might be the way to go.
Edit: Note that invokers stacks with alpha tiger. So youre looking at 63% haste, also Xuen only scales off haste.
Basically what this poster and the one above said
Keefers is full on amazing as a first choice though just because it’s fairly good all round for every encounter you may have, it’s also pretty fun
Very good for blowing up pve mobs
Extreme fun with alpha tiger in Bgs if you have decent gear I highly suggest rolling these in BGs with serenity for doing explosive damage every now and then
Truly fun stuff
The portal legendary can do some pretty wild plays but falls short of use outside of arena
