I recall 5 os bases such as PB and Zerker that had % ed + AR on the base seemed almost bugged the grief runewords and hit like trucks in legacy d2 LoD.

Is this still the case in D2R? Came across a 12% ED / 3 ar 5 os Phase base. Any insight on this would be cool as I'd probably roll a grief.

Cheers!

ED on base doesn't matter much especially on PB
say you have a perf dmg 400 grief
it does 400 min to 400 max damage + what ever damage your base has which is not much of a bonus

ED on grief matters only for those who wants everything perfect. Its not at all necessary

Grief in general just hits like a truck...
