I think there is a cap of 2 immunities (at least for regular supers...) and in those case I imagine that the other resistances become 95 instead of 100+
I bound a Fallen Shaman and he would not resurrect Rakanishu. I think this might need more testing though, since it seems like the Shamans are limited to resurrecting the same color minions and in my testing they were different color packs.
The fantasy is to bind a Shaman who subsequently resurrects a Swarm of aura enchanted carvers. However, there would be obstacles: they would not persist between games, and if he resurrects a normal one, it can't be unsummoned.
That's not a super unique, that's a random unique.
Proper melee rogue demons do make for solid summons, Mace and lancer alike, but finding good ones is a pain.
And at least the Mace version is still generally outperformed by good ol' Heph. The lancers I'm not sure how the +dmg plays with Jab (on each hit vs. split). Could make them better as dmg dealers, despite them starting out lower than Heph, but I have yet to find one worth grabbing to test it with.
They do have like just over 10% of Heph's life though so unlike him, those can actually die on you if you fall asleep at the wheel.
I think somebody did the math (combing through Amazon Basin to find exact numbers) and the "better" spearwoman would be from Matron's Den, bonus points if Fanaticism and Cursed, because of the higher stats. The ubers area in general has some of the "best" base demons which get even better once you have the right affixes. Like the Pit Lords from Furnace of Pain/Uber Tristram are immune to everything except Physical, have 50% Phys Resist, and their immunities are all 145% so they're basically unbreakable immunities. The spearwomen are the "dps" option because of Jab but they still have comparable life, just lower resistances (so they would be an option where you want to actually get certain rolls more, like maybe a Stoneskin Cursed Fanaticism spearwoman.

Almost.
There doesn't seem to be a significant core difference between the Black lancer (Matron's Den) and the dark lancer (e.g. ancient's way).
As a result, all you want is the highest monster level you can get.
Ancient's way would get you a lvl 85 unique. Matron's Den would give it lvl 86 which is minimally better.
What you really want though is one from a capped TZ as that would give you a lvl 99. Those then have ~25% more health and regen to work with as well as ~10% higher base Jab dmg though that's pretty low in either case.
The only functional difference it seems is that the Matron's Den one has a bonus lightning attack while the others get a cold one. The elemental part of that is fairly low anyways, the phys part is again higher for the TZ version.
Plus between the higher level and higher AR of the TZ one they end up with a higher hit chance as well.
I mean, I don't know and I'm not going to min-max this, but this is pretty cool.

I assume there is no way to check the stats of your demon? Like the level of the aura or what modifiers it has?
You can see (some of) the modifiers if you set your right skill to Consume or unsummon and hover over your demon. Shows you the target bar for them up top, including the usual affix list. Just don't actually click or your demon goes poof.
For the exact stats, you'd have to look that up elsewhere, outside of the game.

Yeah, I wish blood lords were demons.
Similarly, Beetleburst would actually give you a super unique with Jab. But while he is a "Scarab Demon", he's apparently still animal type regardless so..boo. Fangskin would get you Charge but also shouldn't be bindable due to being animal type. Stormtree gets Frenzy as well but is animal type.
Shenk gets a Smite attack as does Sharptooth Slayer. Thresh Socket gets Charge but is again animal type. Bonesaw Breaker gets Charge but is undead.
(Uber) Talic gets Whirlwind but is animal type. Same for the other ancients. Pindleskin gets Charge but is undead.
Lister gets Smite.
So basically, you have the option of Smite, everything else is limited to non-demons.
And the Smite ones do come with other limitations, such as Lister being too big and getting tele-stuck on you.
That's for super-uniques at least. Didn't bother looking through everything else (yet?).
And did anyone try Archers (like Corrupt Rogue Archer) or other monster with a "ranged attack" (that will benefit from %ed, IAS and +dmg) not a "magic projectile", with Multiple Shot affix?
