anyone try binding a harold with

Concentration aura?

Based on my countless failed attempts, you can't bind a

Herald.
(Or statistics reaaaaally hates me again..if anyone's managed to bind a

Herald, do let me know ^^)

Otherwise, yeah, conc would be a solid addition.

Herald is probably considered a "mini-boss" (which you can't bind...)

Is thIs there a "easy to search" site where we can filter Super Uniques Monters by their fixed affixes (and "Demon" type )?

While

Hephasto the Armorer is probably the more reliable option with

Bind Demon 19-, if you have

Bind Demon 20+ the demons with fixed Cursed may be better targets (when you want to keep re-binding demons until get the Aura you want...)

Thing is, there are no worthwhile SU demons with fixed cursed.
All of the decent cursed SUs are non-demon type. :/
(Even ignoring that Heph is just a Beast for other reasons, too)

Maxroll is probably the best source here (assuming their data is correct) as you can set the monster to whatever SU you want and have a look at the affixes it gives you. They do differentiate between fixed and selectable (=random).

The next best option I've found so far is the

Corrupt Rogue types. If you happen to randomly come across a unique cursed one there and get the right aura rolled, they make for a very solid (and beautifully aggressive) choice. Though unlike Heph, they can actually die after a while so worth binding the demon heal for that one. ^^
Got lucky on a fana/cursed one there while running my ladder lock through hell A1 and it just demolished the entire game.

Very Sad...
(I thought

Pitspawn Fouldog - which is Cursed, was a Demon, because of the

Summon Tainted skill, but it is an Animal )

Not all monster have the their fixed affixes on the "short description", so you can't filter on list page...
Example: filter by "Cursed" will show only "

Achmel the Cursed" (which doesn't even have the Cursed affix , just in his name...)

Ahem,

Ismail Vilehand would like a word.

Fair. And I knew that, technically. Specifically went after him once (and only once..) for exactly that reason.

So let me rephrase that:
There are no worthwhile SU demons with fixed cursed.

In a discussion about

Bind Demon, I inherently disqualify any demon that isn't an aggressive melee one and/or that wastes half his time casting pointless low dmg hydras or

Inferno or the like. :p

I found this page
https://maxroll.gg/d2/resources/bosses
It was not updated recently

Last Updated: October 3, 2023

and there is no filter...

But we can "Ctrl + F" for the monster affixes...

Considering only Demons:

- Cursed:

Pitspawn Fouldog (Cursed and Cold Enchanted) |

Jail Level 2 | (according to that page it is a Demon not an animal )

Ismail Vilehand (Cursed and Extra Fast) |

Travincal

- Aura Enchanted

Hephasto the Armorer (Aura Enchanted and Spectral Hit) |

River of Flame

Bremm Sparkfist (Aura Enchanted and Lightning Enchanged) |

Durance of Hate Level 3

- Lightning Enchanted (well... I want to test...)

Bartuc the Bloody (Lightning Enchanted) |

Throne of Destruction

Bremm Sparkfist (Aura Enchanted and Lightning Enchanted) |

Durance of Hate Level 3

Rakanishu (Extra Fast and Lightning Enchanted) |

Stony Field

Wasn't

Achmel the Cursed an Undead?

Achmel the Cursed can't raise undead (while a gloam firing squad would be funny, though that last one is definitely getting patched.)

seems like a Bug (actually two )

He is, but for some reason,

Bind Demon works on him, and not

Bartuc the Bloody (not matter how hard i've tried, or i'm just really unlucky).

Good point

Otherwise, getting a good

Hephasto the Armorer almost feels mandatory as a base (and means you only need a lvl 10

Bind Demon if you just want the aura, since he already has Spectral Hit and Aura enchanted).
