Concentration aura + cursed for your echoing warlock is possible then. Plus even more invincible demon...just don't die. And pray that one was not supposed to drop latent sunder.

Wow..statistics really did hate me then. Like... a lot..

Thanks for confirming!

You sure you had the

Herald damaged? I was surprised I saw that line of text in the skill screen. It only works on an already damaged demon.

Damaged and demon type, yup.
But since the bind chance isn't 100%, I guess it is possible that I simply got a crazy unlucky streak.

I went ahead and added the info to the database. But if you want to make your own entry feel free to delete my post @Queegon.

So... the discussion "What is the best

Bind Demon?" is finished...

Depends...has anyone figured out the actual

Herald stats yet?
Sure, conc is a unique win but that alone doesn't make it the best for every build.

(All ignoring of course how nearly impossible it'd be to find the combination you're really looking for in terms of base mob, affixes and t5)

Can you imagine the table talk between the Warlock, the Demon and Waheed?

A little joke
In fact I didn't face a

Herald yet (only played the new expansion with my new Warlock and I'm still low level...)

But from what I read, they are stronger than super and have some unique affixes (like

Concentration aura ) so at least on paper (or maxroll), they are probably BIS

It honestly just depends on which monster becomes a

Herald. I recently steamed rolled a T5

Herald

Mummy but was caught flat footed on a T3

Herald

Blood Lord that had

Vigor and was extra strong with a few other unfortunate affixes.

was he at full life? the demon has to be injured before u can bind him.

I guess you can only "scratch" him and is called injured. I do the same, I cast a fire ring and the I try to bind him.

You can't try multiple times? If the first attempt fails then you try to bind him again. Or is "unbindable" after your first try? I doubt that. I tried several times until I got my

Conviction demon tied.

You can.
But if you fail over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again...eventually, you kinda have to assume they just can't be bound. Which I did. But apparently, I just hit that infinitismally low chance of simply failing infinitely out of pure dumb shit luck.
