What kind to you try to get or have? Right now I'm using Ismail from Travincal. He's fast and does amp damage spell right away so it gives me a huge boost. Hes also immune fire and probably some other things I just dont know how to tell what he has because theres no tool tip for him

I'm using a spearwoman from a terror zone. Will eventually upgrade to something

You can hover him with unsummon or consume and it will show affixes for them. At level 20 of bind demon any bound demon will always get an aura. Ideally for ES you want cursed and some aura for more damage(might, fanaticism) or to proc amp damage more easily(fire, cold, lightning).

Don't piss off everybody by trying to bind Lister every Baal run. XD

O nice thanks. Hes also cold enchanted extra strong with amp damage hes pretty good

That's a good combo. My only complaint with this guy's is the Ai is a bit wonky. They aren't as aggressive as I like. I want something to run out and face tank everything as I cut them down.

Tip - if you want to see the affixes of your bound demon, hover over it while you have the consume skill ready to use. You’ll see the hp bar as if you were hovering over it without having it bound.

go post in the d2:R discussion forum

Use Death Mark skill to teleport your demon to the mob packs you kill and he will tank them.

holy freeze, cursed, stone skin

Fanaticism cursed lightning enchanted. The bolts don't spread as good as an elemental aura, but it does spread the amp a decent amount more than fanaticism alone.
