Anyone know what's best? I've tried all sorts

Multishot cursed fana/holy freeze Venom Lord

1 point wonder

she's the best

Where do I find her?

Act 5 Ancient's Way has a lot, create a game with "Cursed"

Ok, thanks for your help

We have a whole thread of testing in the pokemon topic
but the tldr takeaway is spearwoman is #1 option now

holy freeze + cursed already amps the packs of immunes and heralds you need amp against. You already fry isolated bosses with tainted, where aura fails to proc amp at all (0% not 5%, it doesn't hit them only attacks do)
spearwoman deals more dps from more attacks than normal mob, venom lord deals less dps from fewer attacks than normal mob, siren deals vastly reduced ranged dps, flayer shaman doesn't attack at all

steps are:
find 8 player cursed TZ game (baal runs can work)
apply act 5 shard
search frigid highlands, frozen river, ancients way, worldstone keep 1 for spearwomen
if you find a zone with them, teleport around and prespawn them all to lock in the P8 stats before anyone can leave the game
find only the white trash mob spearwomen, not minions/champions/uniques
bind them one by one with +19 skills gear on, so you have level 20+ bind demon after +skills
if a bound demon isn't holy freeze, teleport away before it can kill other monsters and unsummon it
you're done when you get a holy freeze spearwoman

Thanks for the explanation, I managed to get myself one but only in single player, I will keep an eye out for full cursed games and try again.
The hardest thing was keeping them alive whilst trying to bind them before the merc killed them but I guess that won't be a problem in p8.

Cheers

I would advice sending your merc on a one way trip to travincal and then hunting demons with low damage summons like goatmen to tank while you just chip them once with a low damage spell
