EZ way to find a perfect Deamon with "Curse" to Bind

Wait for a Stage with good Deamons become Terrorized (Best: Worldstone with Lister/

Baal).
Enter the Stage with Waypoint.
Open Map --> Check The Mode in top right Corner of Screen.
If not "Cursed" --> Make new Game and Repeat until you get "Cursed".
Now Lister will have "Curse" 100% (next to other good Effects, like Knockback if youre Lucky).

The Best Thing on Lister with Curse/Knockback in my honest opinion: it will also knock all enemys back, who are "infected from the flying brains with the green circle"
Also nice are the ones from Act4 that look a bit like a spider and create small versions of himself -> so you have an Army.

I just run hephasto, its super quick to get to usually. I just tend to have very bad luck getting fana + cursed. I do keep getting

Conviction + cursed which annoys. But

Conviction still lowers defense and resistances so suppose its not completely wasted. Cursed wins fanatism anyway.

The

Terror zone mod does not change the properties of the Super Unique monsters.

Fastest is

Travincal, ismail is always cursed, just need to roll the aura you want

Do you mean

Ismail Vilehand?

People say its AI is shit
(as with some other monster with "spells" - in this case, the complaint is that it keeps casting

Hydra and his lightning instead of just attack)

They say the same about the other (always) Cursed

Bind Demon target

Pitspawn Fouldog (not sure if it is labeled as Demon, but other players already could bind it - so it is a demon or it is another bugged monster - like

Achmel the Cursed, that is not demon but you can Bind...)

Iirc, bosses and super uniques don't get the affix from tz. However, you can bind one of listers minions and they will keep the affix.

you just need either lighting,cold or fire aura, that way it will activate curse without the need to attack, same with hephasto if you want the fastest way to spread curse, hephasto can actually kill you if you tp in a group of dolls XD

I'm thinking in try this approach after finishing Hell (still in Act 3....)
On paper at least (https://maxroll.gg/d2/d2planner]) most of the bound Demon melee attack damage comes from skills (

Bind Demon and

Demonic Mastery), so a bound normal monster will still hit hard

But there are other options over lister's minions
(I will try

Vile Mother or

Blunderbore/Udar first)

As far as I have tested:

Good:

Blunderbore,

Corrupt Rogue Spearwoman,

Corrupt Rogue,

Vile Mother,

Hephasto the Armorer

->speed and melee is good.

Okayish:

Goatman,

Megademon,

Overseer,

Fetish,

Lister the Tormentor

Bad:

Stygian Fury,

Fallen,

Fallen Shaman,

Demon Imp,

Regurgitator

-> all ranged/slow/elemental monsters are not useful.

The Best thing i ever had was Lister with: Curse;Super Fast;Super Strong;Knockback - also the Red Aura that Buffs your Dmg from Skill LvL 20.

If you want the bound demon just as a Curse source OK (and will be easy to get a pulse aura than to get

Conviction or

Fanaticism - 3 in 7 possibilities )
But my Warlock is "pure summoner", I need a bound Demon that is "smart" and mainly (better exclusively) do melee attacks.

Aura Enchanted Monsters may have the following Auras:
Might (at monlvl/6),

Holy Fire (at monlvl/6),

Blessed Aim (at monlvl/5),

Holy Freeze (at monlvl/7),

Holy Shock (at monlvl/8),

Conviction (at monlvl/8), and finally

Fanaticism (at monlvl/8)

that doesnt sound fun, better go necro XD

Warlock's minions are stronger (

Bind Demon hits hard as a very well equipped Merc and can be tankier - and is possible to have better AI - and

Summon Defiler spread the damage)
Warlock Pure Summoner (just Minions and Buffs/Debuffs) can farm dense areas effectively (not a top build like

Echoing Strike or

Apocalypse, but it is an "OK build" )
(L29- I needed to rely on

Blood Boil to actually kill things... but L30+, the minions could do the job by themselves )

Necro Pure Summoner (just Minions and Buffs/Debuffs) on the other hand can't... you have to include an active spell (like

Corpse Explosion) for it to be an "OK build"

(This is a little sad as have an - effective - army would be way cooler than have just 3 guys...)
