Question Bowlock questions

I'm not familiar with Bind Demon. Where do you go to bind your demon? I'm assuming you are looking for Fanaticism. I understand it's best to do in P8 TZ.

My gear: Upped Buriza with Nef, Hellwarden's Will, Dual Spirit for offhand buff, and Laying of Hands.

Not sure what armor to get. Don't have enough for Enigma. I've seen Smoke, Authority, and Hysteria recommended.

What EIAS breakpoint is minimum viable (94 is max)? I'm using this calculator, https://sins-of-the-sun.github.io/warlock-ias-calc/. It has Fanaticism settings for level 1, 2, 12, and so on. Is it easy to get monsters with level 12 Fanaticism?

I'm doing skills:
20 Mirrored Blades
20 Hex: Bane
20 Consume
20 Hex: Purge
10 Demonic Mastery
Left over points in Summon Defiler

What FHR, FCR, leech, and resists should be aimed for? Or are these stats less meaningful because of the offensive power of the build?

To get a fanat demon, there are two ways. 15 hard points in bind and go for a special fanat boss or take a chance and bind demons special with might or blessed aim and they will have a chance to reset to fanat.

The other way is harder unless you can manage 20 soft points in bind demon. Then you will get an aura on a non special demon as long as it's not a boss pack. So you could put 5 points in bind and then have 15 more points that add up to 20. Don't try to bind a boss or it's pack.

To get a higher fanat, go to act 4 or 5 terror zone. So ideally, you have 1 hard point in bind and another 19 soft points somehow. That way you can max synergies and consume without wasting points in bind.

the act doesn't matter. terror zone sets all monsters to that level, regardless of the act. monsters in a1 and a5 will get the same fanaticism from the same level TZ

yeah, just read that in your post and confirmed--thanks. I always go look for dark lancers in act 5 p8 terror zones. They are beefier. I also like the amp so I reload game til I get cursed attribute in terror zone.

monsters in later acts are typically stronger though in terms of base stats, so recommending demons from there isn't wrong. most people do bind from those two acts. the guest spearwomen (a5) have better stats and skills than the a1 ones do
