But then again, what is the point to even add an extra aura as nobody uses "normal" demons hire hirelings without auras. Every useful demon to bind hireling HAS an aura. So basically there is absolutely no reason to level the binding skill high enough to gain that extra aura hire any other hireling than a Desert Mercenary (imo).
I knew it was deja vu...

Anyway, back to the original:

At least theoretically there is a reason: so you can bind a demon without an aura, and still get it from
Bind Demon
, so you are not limited to Aura Enchanted demons.
But in practice Hephasto is a tank and hits like a truck, so the innate aura is just the icing on the cake. Had he not had one, he'd likely still be picked as the demon to bind.
Hint: Terrorized Baracks also has a demon in the same style of the same lvl ;) with gets a random aura and you can get cursed by picking a terrorized game with the cursed effect (and he can also hava fire lightening etc enchanted on top)

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.
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 would tend to think
Conviction
+ Lightning Enchanted would be ideal for this use case scenario.

It's also worth ensuring you have 10 soft points into
Bind Demon
because this will grant Extra Strong + Extra Fast on top of existing mods. Every 5 points into
Bind Demon
grants an additional affix, but after Extra Strong+Extra Fast they sort of become redundant I find.

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 (be that intentional or unintentional). 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.

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

I know it can seem like a hassle rerolling the game to get the desired affix combo u want, but realistically it's fuck all compared to other farming scenarios in the game. I usually wait until
River of Flame
is terrorized and I've never had trouble getting my desired affix combo within the 30min
Terror
window.

I'm primarily on offline SP so I also switch difficulty back and forth to reroll a good map.

Agreed on the AI bit 100%. A human with alot of firsthand experience in the given field is always best source of information if u ask me.

I actually put off my lock's last respec because I didn't want to re-farm his Heph...and then coincidentally got the same perfect affixes in the same game I finally decided to respec in. :D
(Sadly, no TZ at the time so still need to re-farm for the higher lvl version at some point..but mweh)

Edit:
A quick TZ rotation later..got him on the 2nd attempt. Lucky. :D

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.
