Demon fails

Anyone have a good story about failing to bind a good demon or losing the one you had?

I just jumped into a Worldstone

Terror zone and had a great fail. I already had a cursed normal Lister with

Conviction aura, which was great. Thought I would try for a T94 cursed Lister. So I ran several

Baal runs and came across a cursed Lister (woohoo!). Killed off my Lister and sent single goats after the pack to keep them busy until I could damage and target Lister. Got him!! And then I forgot I reassigned

Engorge to

Bind Demon and tried to

Engorge, which made me lose my Lister and get one of the pack. And that guy was not very good So now back to searching for another cursed Lister...

I've consumed plenty of meta demons by being careless playing on controller (I play co-op on steam deck fairly often), so eventually I just thought sod it, forget rerolling Lister and Hephasto, I just go to Trav and nab Ismail, he's always cursed which was the most important thing for damage.

people now are try to catch best demon ,

Conviction before new patch, there is small chance it will preserve aura after it.

Be sure to get it .

It won't.
PTR already showed what happens to pre-existing characters with now invalid auras.
They simply get replaced with the new equivalent when you log in.

Though I guess technically, yes, there is a "small chance" as blizz might botch it for the live release and bug the replacement (until some possible later hotifx). But mweh.

Okay, it is up to rotw player...

after all, what if chance is very small....if bz forget that.

Why is

Conviction preferred over Might or

Fanaticism? Is that for group play or assuming the warlock uses fire skills?

that is just example, you can pick any that might no longer exist in next version.

Yes, for both cases. It's a free Infinity and the merc can equip something else, like Insight for the Insight Cure

Prayer combo.
I am glad they are going to remove this op nonsense.

For elemental skills (e.g. fire lock, some group play),

Conviction tends to be among, if not the strongest single addition possible. Getting that essentially for free without having to invest 2

Ber+ for an Infinity and without having to

Sacrifice your merc's weapon choice for it is massive (and OP and about time it gets removed!).

But at the same time, there are plenty of other lock builds that couldn't care less about

Conviction and would much prefer might (soon to be conc to make it even stronger ~~) or fana or in some cases freeze.

I know the warlock is going to change, but I usually don't

Consume demons. It's nor worth the hassle. Just like everyone, I have already consumed a great demon so I just removed the skill from my bound keys...

I kinda dislike the amount of buffing you need and the fact that you have to guess whether they're over, so I don't bother consuming anymore
