So if the monster has might and you bind it; it will turn into conc? Sweet. Isn't it better? lol.
I believe it is. More damage per level and 20% chance of interrupted attack.
In their zeal to eliminate conviction for the firelock, and their massive % reduction in proccing curse through pulse damage, they allowed that conversion, however, so a buff to all melee characters and parties.
For proccing curse, I believe most are going with holy freeze, which blizz also allowed to remain. 🤷♂️
