Hephasto as binded demon question

Do you think its better to have the

Lower Resist aura on Hephasto with Cursed OR have fanatism aura without Cursed?

Which do YOU think is better?

I havent had any luck finding cursed hephasto and now finally found one with the wrong aura. Should I keep looking for fanatism without cursed? I will not find one with both. This has been proven.

Currently my hephasto got Fire aura + Resist lowering aura (thanks to high enough lvl binding skill) so that combo does work together nicely. And it can remove Physical immunities.
Hephasto without curse cant take away physical immunities and the sigil alone wont do it always either.

Just trying to weight some options here, not sure if its worth to waste time trying to find cursed + fana as it seems to be so darn rare. Got it once or twice before and never seen it again since.

Thats hilarious. How can similar question give such a different answers. Darn I hate this AI timeline we live in right now :'D

Because the "AI" of today is essentially nothing but the targeted regurgitation of random typically completely unfiltered information, based on some likeliest "interpretation of" = correlation to your question.
Since the random information fed into it is basically just the totality of random misinformation and bullshit floating about the interwebs, "AI" is just as dumb, ignorant and misinformed as the social-media-backed, believing-everything-any-random-streamer-tells-them masses. And yeah, I'm looking at you people who suddenly paid out the nose for ethereal thunder mauls after RotW hit!

If you phrase the same question somewhat differently, correlation/likelihood shifts and it steers you from one set of bullshit misinformation to a different set of often just other bullshit misinformation.
Every so often, if you're lucky, it actually randomly ends up on the little bit of information that isn't complete BS and leaves it at that.

Simply put, that "AI" doesn't actually know anything. It merely picks and chooses which completely random and unconfirmed claims it'll spew back at you. And people really need to stop relying on it.
Given, there are some (precious few) systems that actually do reliably offer correct and valuable information but that's solely because those running them took the time and effort to actually check, confirm and filter the information going into the system. For your random general "trust me bro!" service, that is not the case. And realistically, it never will be, as anything aimed to be a general solution for the masses inherently requires too much information going in on too many topics to ever actually be able to throw enough manpower at it to properly fact check everything. The only way you'd ever get a reliable but truly general offering is if people stopped posting incorrect bullshit on the internet and cleaned up all the past bullshit. And we all know that'll never happen. So all you'll ever get is a more comfortable but ultimately significantly worse (due to "one single result, just trust me bro!") alternative to traditional search engines.

But then again, what is the point to even add an extra aura as nobody uses "normal" demons without auras. Every useful demon to bind HAS an aura. So basically there is absolutely no reason to level the binding skill high enough to gain that extra aura (imo).

Dark lancers would like to have a word.
And even for others, it still adds a decent chunk of damage.

For warlocks primarily utilizing the Eldritch skill tree,

Fanaticism+Cursed (Fanacursed) is always what u want.

For a fire warlock (using

Apocalypse and all its synergies),

Conviction Aura is probably better. I haven't played Fire Warlock much so someone has more experience feel free to correct me in that area.

I think this is the best answer.
I play Fire Warlock and I don't have a Sunder yet.

Conviction is a must and Curse is a bonus that I look for as Heph and Emilio deal a lot better with cursed fire immune enemies.

Last time I died and lost my good "aura geared" Heph. After that I bound the first one I got (no

Conviction) and decided to play that active WSK TZ zone. A good surprise was Lister that came with that exact needed auras. Got him and didn't look for another Heph (until I die again).
Being terrorized and probably more tankier and with a lot more health pool, his health bar is not moving at all regardless of which monsters deals with, on P8. Heph is also very tanky but his life goes slightly lower on difficult enemies. Not to be in any danger but visible. Lister's isn't moving at all.
Something a little bit annoying is his knockback hits that moves enemies away from sigils.
