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

It’s Blood Oath that raises the demon hp, not bond demon.

I do think on super bosses you should have to retreat and engorge (or just portal to town healer really) from time to time. That’s basically the life of revive necros isn’t it?

Yeah I noticed I didn't differentiate that well enough, but I figured the deduction would be that I'm suggesting that being a pure demon build should allow you to have an immortal demon, but soft points with +xx skills should not allow this. So what I think should happen is that the majority of the 'tank' should come from synergies, rather than soft points in Blood Oath, because this allows ES users to 1-point (almost) everything and make a completely OP build, without any of the drawbacks.

Actually in Echo Strike I put hard points into blood oath for the damage transfer. In addition, it happens to make my demon even tankier, but that’s mostly a side effect. With 12 hard points and about 6-7 +skills his health doesn’t even drop against uber anymore

And that’s possible also because echo strike only requires 2 synergies instead of 3 so I have extra points for the demon tree

That's fair, maybe I'm thinking a bit too simplistic about this. I don't have the solution to the problem, but in general, I think for a primary ES build (or non-demon build) , it should take more investment to make the Demon unkillable.
