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...)

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...

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.

I found this page
https://maxroll.gg/d2/resources/bosses
It was not updated recently
But we can "Ctrl + F" for the monster affixes...
Considering only Demons:
- Cursed:
Pitspawn Fouldog (Cursed and Cold Enchanted) | Jail Level 2 | (according to that page it is a Demon not an animal
)
Ismail Vilehand (Cursed and Extra Fast) | Travincal
- Aura Enchanted
Hephasto the Armorer (Aura Enchanted and Spectral Hit) | River of Flame
Bremm Sparkfist (Aura Enchanted and Lightning Enchanged) | Durance of Hate Level 3
- Lightning Enchanted (well... I want to test...)
Bartuc the Bloody (Lightning Enchanted) | Throne of Destruction
Bremm Sparkfist (Aura Enchanted and Lightning Enchanted) | Durance of Hate Level 3
Rakanishu (Extra Fast and Lightning Enchanted) | Stony Field

Wasn't Achmel the Cursed an Undead?

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.fredkid wrote: 3 hours agoWasn't Achmel the Cursed an Undead?Drakenden wrote: 3 hours ago... and Achmel the Cursed can't raise undead (while a gloam firing squad would be funny, though that last one is definitely getting patched.)

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.Drakenden wrote: 3 hours agoHe 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.fredkid wrote: 3 hours agoWasn't Achmel the Cursed an Undead?Drakenden wrote: 3 hours ago... and Achmel the Cursed can't raise undead (while a gloam firing squad would be funny, though that last one is definitely getting patched.)

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.mikelessar wrote: 1 hour agoThere isn't THE bis Demon to bind.

Heph still loses HP when fighting Ubers. The Venom lord does not.
get you a demon with Conviction and curse. then get an A2 merc with might. watch your big boy pump and dump

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.. Lightning Bolt you to the face!

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.
I believe they to be talking about the Venom lords in the area that are immune to everything other than physicalBlubbalutsch wrote: 3 days agoA5 Guest Monster Blunderbore or Mauler as Unique with Stone Skin and/or Cursed is what i use as a magic warlock because of crushing blow. Speeds up bosskills quiet significant. The increased liferegen also synergize with Prayer/Cure/Insight merc setup. Heralds did not even reduce them to 3/4 health so far. I don't use them terrorized, btw. Still good enough imo.
Does it work? I thought bosses can't be bound.
