Based on my countless failed attempts, you can't bind a
Herald
.
(Or statistics reaaaaally hates me again..if anyone's managed to bind a
Herald
, do let me know ^^)

Otherwise, yeah, conc would be a solid addition.

Herald
is probably considered a "mini-boss" (which you can't bind...)

Is thIs there a "easy to search" site where we can filter Super Uniques Monters by their fixed affixes (and "Demon" type 😉)?

While
Hephasto the Armorer
is probably the more reliable option with
Bind Demon
19-, if you have
Bind Demon
20+ the demons with fixed Cursed may be better targets (when you want to keep re-binding demons until get the Aura you want...)

Thing is, there are no worthwhile SU demons with fixed cursed.
All of the decent cursed SUs are non-demon type. :/
(Even ignoring that Heph is just a Beast for other reasons, too)

Maxroll is probably the best source here (assuming their data is correct) as you can set the monster to whatever SU you want and have a look at the affixes it gives you. They do differentiate between fixed and selectable (=random).

The next best option I've found so far is the
Corrupt Rogue
types. If you happen to randomly come across a unique cursed one there and get the right aura rolled, they make for a very solid (and beautifully aggressive) choice. Though unlike Heph, they can actually die after a while so worth binding the demon heal for that one. ^^
Got lucky on a fana/cursed one there while running my ladder lock through hell A1 and it just demolished the entire game.

Very Sad...
(I thought
Pitspawn Fouldog
- which is Cursed, was a Demon, because of the
Summon Tainted
skill, but it is an Animal 😢😢)

Not all monster have the their fixed affixes on the "short description", so you can't filter on list page...
Example: filter by "Cursed" will show only "
Achmel the Cursed
" (which doesn't even have the Cursed affix 😛, just in his name...)

Ahem,

Ismail Vilehand
would like a word.

Though you'd have to get lucky with the aura you give him on
Bind Demon
, and the damage bonus only applies to physical attacks unfortunately.

Fair. And I knew that, technically. Specifically went after him once (and only once..) for exactly that reason.

So let me rephrase that:
There are no worthwhile SU demons with fixed cursed.

In a discussion about
Bind Demon
, I inherently disqualify any demon that isn't an aggressive melee one and/or that wastes half his time casting pointless low dmg hydras or
Inferno
or the like. :p

On a side note, it is strange that while
Fallen
shamans and vile mothers can create more minions,
Fetish
shamans can't
Revive
normal
Fetish
and
Achmel the Cursed
can't raise undead (while a gloam firing squad would be funny, though that last one is definitely getting patched.)

Otherwise, getting a good Hephasto almost feels mandatory as a base (and means you only need a lvl 10
Bind Demon
if you just want the aura, since he already has spectral hit and aura
Enchant
).

Presently running him on a fire warlock with stoneskin and cursed.

Hephasto the Armorer
(Aura Enchanted and Spectral Hit) |
River of Flame

He is, but for some reason,
Bind Demon
works on him, and not
Bartuc the Bloody
(not matter how hard i've tried, or i'm just really unlucky), perhaps due to demon tagging being attributed to him by mistake despite being labelled as undead.

I read this online somewhere a couple days after RotW released and apparently the answer to why Bartuc cannot be binded is due to its Lore.

Can't recall exactly the specifics but the general theory was that it already gave its life and swore loyalty to
Mephisto
, thus will not obey anyone else or whatever it was.

Also the best-in-slot
Bind Demon
would have to be a unique Venom lord with aura/cursed from Furnace (Izzy ubers portal). It is naturally immune to nearly everything (sometimes literally everything) and is far beefier than Heph too.

Heph is just often the most preferred due to how easy it is to find and roll for a good one.

There isn't THE bis Demon to bind. It depends on your build. Some need
Conviction
, some need
Fanaticism
, some
Concentration
etc.

While this is true, I'd wager best demon is still a Venom lord consisting of the necessary aura and modifier mainly due to it being tanky as hell and immune nearly everything possible.

Heph still loses HP when fighting Ubers. The Venom lord does not.

Right, those uber demons are impressive.
But you are making condition here already: uber fights. In that sense you might be right about "best demon".

What mikelessar rightly pointed out is that changes when you change conditions.
Fire Warlock doing density clearing/statue hunting doesn't care that much if Heph/Venom lord can smash. What only matters is if he can take hit while carrying
Conviction
.

In response..

Oh for sure, I understand that but the topic is regarding the best bind.

You're absolutely right about Heph but it doesn't make him the best, it only makes him the easiest go-to since it's easier to roll for him than the Venom Lord. I'd even argue that the mentioned guest mob Lancer with same fana/cursed mods in A5 is better than Heph because her
Jab
can literally solo
Uber Tristram
faster, provided that you supply
Life Tap
via
Wand
.

Realistically though I agree with the both of you since bound demons are mostly unkillable in almost all content. Though if we're focusing on the absolute best, Ubers demon takes the cake.
