You can bind venom lord from izual uber level The Furnace that's immune to everything except physical, then find one with stone skin and bind it and you'll have a demon immune to all damage except physical, which it will take only 50% damage from. Doesn't matter if it's from p1 or p8, it will legitimately never die even against heralds lvl 5 and Ubers.

yeah and it looks cool but then you realize a stone skin goatman from a non-terrorized P1 game will actually tank p8 heralds longer and deal more damage because;
  • elemental resists are pretty irrelevant beyond cold immune stopping slow and poison immune preventing their regen disabling, the actual damage is irrelevant
  • all bound demon hp becomes astronomical with max blood oath and you can full juv them with engorge
  • the only damage heralds or pvm in general can deal that can threaten anything is physical, and venom lords only have 50% base dr and stone skin won't make these guys immune
  • venom lord AI sucks and runs awkwardly around targets, doesn't melee much and stuns itself by channeling inferno for 0 damage (but at least it applies amp)

Venom lord = cool giant bat demon Satan devil monster

Goatman = LAME axe wielding chud who wishes he was a demon legend



Also there's very little reason to use anything other than hephasto or lister tbh. The venom lord is just an aura + amp + cool demon.

Who would win in a fight? A maiar servant of the flame of udun manifested a greater demon of shadow and fire, or gharbad the weak begging you not to hurt him? Goat is GOAT

Precast - not working, demon resets evry game
