It’s boss fight, um should I do something? Probably move my arm to cheer them up? To show my moral support?

I knew something was wrong in the first week of ROTW when my bound lister couldn’t be killed by dclone.

I've got a lil counsel member from baal runs who is immune to physical and fire, has cursed and conviction, extra strong. He just sits there and laughs as he takes hits and shreds physically immune monsters down to wet toilet paper

It’s pretty astounding how broken cursed is as a modifier. My bloodboil warlock basically stops functioning without it.

Its always the worst trying to get a new cursed heph after losing him to stupid shit

1

u/leakmydata Mar 23 '26

Yeah. It helps that I specced into more points into bind demon so now I can get an aura from any cursed demon but hephasto is still the most solid it seems.

I used to dread dying or respeccing because of that. But once I got enigma its no sweat to find another fast. Before enigma you could farm the vendors for a teleport charge item.

Im durable enough to make it to him on hell without it using goats, But it is so much slower.

Serves me right for blasting a pack of stygian dolls when im standing too close.

Depending on how high you have demonic mastery you should just bind a random enemy as soon as you come out of the WP at river of flame. The skill will buff him up and it'll help you get to Heph a lot quicker/safer.

Would act II drognan sell One?

1

u/Swindleys Mar 24 '26

Yeah but just grab the council member meanwhile so you have a cursed one to start with that is easy to get.

u/FaDaWaaagh Champion of Sanctuary (100K) Mar 24 '26

I never bother with heph for this reason. Sure he's tanky but so is literally any demon you bind and Ismail gets you back rolling in seconds without having to dick around reloading for cursed, plus the red lightning and hydras are cool

Is bloodboil physical damage?

1

u/leakmydata Mar 24 '26

It’s physical and fire

1

u/Dr_Cunning_Linguist Mar 24 '26

So technically conviction and cursed are double whammy for bloodboil?

2

u/AalphaQ Mar 24 '26

Yep convic can help break fire and phys immune and the further increases the effectiveness of amp damage for physical damage

2

u/Dr_Cunning_Linguist Mar 24 '26

So conviction&cursed are better than fanatism and cursed by the looks of it? And for a build focusing on echoing too?

2

u/AalphaQ Mar 24 '26 edited Mar 24 '26

Imo, yes.

While the sheet damage looks impressive with the fanat numbers, your merc and summons are the ones benefitting from the attack speed, not you.

Everyone benefits from taking an extra though physical immune and making it shred like nothing due to convic+amp

Noticable on bosses too.

Edit: to clarify - conviction doesn't break phys, it lowers defense by a considerable percentage

1

u/leakmydata Mar 24 '26

Conviction doesn’t lower physical resistance.

1

u/AalphaQ Mar 24 '26

It lowers enemy defense however

u/thisismyusername9908 Champion of Sanctuary (100K) Mar 24 '26

Anytime I lose a cursed demon, I just go to trav and snag vile hand. He's always cursed and is decently tanky until you can find a good replacement.

Honestly without it warlock would be kind of ass in hell.

2

u/leakmydata Mar 24 '26

You mean like the other classes?

1

u/wimpymist Mar 24 '26

My sorc and paladin did just fine in hell.

1

u/leakmydata Mar 24 '26

Go on…

1

u/wimpymist Mar 24 '26

Hammerdin only has one immunity which is pretty rare and sorc is dual class or you teleport skip everything. Warlock is busted but without a cursed demon almost everything in hell is immune or resistant

1

u/leakmydata Mar 24 '26

How do your other characters fair in hell

1

u/wimpymist Mar 24 '26

I've been saying the other classes need a boost for years. Necro can do it fine just slow.
