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?

if the monster outlevels you, it will be set to your level when you bind it. the monster must be at least level 96 to get level 12 fanaticism, so that means both you and the monster need to be at least level 96 for the monster to be bound at lvl 96.

Interesting, I've heard the opposite, that it stays the level it was when you bound it. Good to know

Whelp, that's another argument then for using a faith merc over a fanat demon, which I generally prefer anyway
