I am considering upgrading from grief to last wish, i was wondering if 15%ED on the phase blade matters? Does this enhanced damage do anything for smite? I am not sure if this would only benefit zeal.

Thanks for the advice

Grief will do more dmg, and no the ed doesn’t change anything

You do not “upgrade” from grief to LW
You only downgrade
You can get your CB% elsewhere
You can get your lifetap elsewhere
But you need to get that juicy flat dmg from grief

interesting thanks, then why does maxrollgg's build say the high end build uses last wish instead of grief? i guess it is just cuz its a zeal hybrid or something. i just picked the game back up after 15 years hard for me to remember everything without checking guides like that.
