You can't. No matter what demon you use, tainted will keep it from moving off you while teleporting because tainted are size 3 and occupy all the pathable tiles away from you after teleporting.
You need to be either telestomping mobs directly or deathmarking them or walking after a teleport to unclump.
Generally you want to just be telestomping unique mobs and allowing tainted to incidentally gun down some trash mobs as you teleport past them


Is this the same with defilers? Thought about some physical hybrid build using prebuff gear to get that 40-50 k jab with amp spreaded by defilers.

Anyone tried this? Just running maxed bind demon with two defilers.

yes if you run back a few pages i did ran this build, foor me was the best one, i dont know why, on paper shuld not be, but i felt that running max demon with 2 defillers and max bb was the fastest and smother build,

if you have a bo barb run with insigh might merc, hf cursed demon ( i didnt bother to get a elite one was not needed) and run pride on your second hand ( 1 point into eldritch mastery)

the build is something like this
20 blood oath
20 demon mastery
20 blood boil
20 bind demon
20 engorge
1 into sigil lethatgy ( this one just for herald t5p8
1 into sigil death ( found myself using this most of time)
1 into eldritch mastery


if you have abo barb and full end gear i was not even using insight anymore, merc with pride and running obsession on offhand with 2 sojs and a fire sunder with 70+ mana had 1k mana and dont need insight you pretty much delete everything, even ubers



in the end i felt that a better build was demon machine lock and stick with it xD

Can’t you do both ? Like max out bind demon , run prebuff gear and then switch to mirrored blades build. You gain huge damage demon + amp procs.

Could run mist, so you get conc aura -> even more bound demon damage. Defilers spread your damage and the bound demon damage.

Since mirrored blade doesn’t need much points, there could be a lot of possibility’s for hybrids, if you are willing to use prebuff gear for bind demon.

Describe more about your build ?

A video to see how it works would be nice
