It seems that even with the max 20 hard points into Bind Demon, we are unable to bind unique demons like Hephasto or Lister.
I have tried with Ladder, non-ladder, and offline characters all with max bind demon skills.
I have reduced the demon life to 5 - 10% and tried many times… no sound, no message, it simply does not work.
I don’t believe it is supposed to work on Super Unique Monsters.
It says in the patch notes “lvl 20 super uniques”
It has always worked before.. today it no longer does.. but the patch notes state that it should with max investment.
My bind demon skill is at 27 (20 hard points), and 59% chance to bind, but I haven’t been able to bind anything superuniques or otherwise. It’s definitely bugged.
It turns out you have to click and HOLD on the target for much longer than before.. but it works eventually. Thanks for the help.
Yeah you gotta lower their HP and then hold the skill to channel it. You’ll get an audio cue if they bind or the chains will fall off and you have to try again. It’s a super annoying mechanic now given every other summon in the game is a 1 button guarantee
I have the same problem. I tried binding lesser demons and it works fine. I hold down the skill button, the chain animation begins to appear and after 3-4 seconds, the demon is bound. When i try doing this with super unique, it says its impossible and the animation doesn’t even appear… It doesn’t matter how much hp it has
I think the problem I’m encountering is exactly the same as yours. Currently, I can no longer capture any demons; even though my basic “Bind Demon” skill has reached Level 20, it remains ineffective against any demon monsters.
I’d like to ask: when you attempt to use the “Bind Demon” skill, does your character play any voice lines—such as “Impossible” or “I can’t do that”? My current issue is that I am completely unable to cast the skill; it seems as though it has been disabled—much like when you attempt to use an offensive skill while inside a town.
this means you either do not have enough hard points in your skill to bind the targeted demon OR all your summon slots are already full.
Sounds dumb, just another way to slow down progress. Whatever
Well we had to pay $20 to get warlock and they nerf the character already. that didnt take long!
It was obvious from the start that the Warlock skills were MASSIVELY OP! Blizz HAD to nerf him. Yet Bind Demon only saw a little here. It’s still near OP, compared to the other classes strong single summon / minions.
Why not just fix the other characters that are impossible to play, bring up to speed and make the game more enjoyable to play. No matter what they do, player 8 is always going to be more dps then the regular guy can do. Oh I agree it overpowered, but not anymore than the sorcerer
They are not. Never were.
If you feel that way you got much left to learn.
Are you joking?
NECROMANCER SLOW BURN – TURD
BARBARIAN Weakness is his own strength
DRUID falls off after Nightmare, unless in group
PALADIAN Big Nerf this patch
I play all classes. Anywhere. Selffound. Selfbuild. Nothing stops them.
Oh and i don’t use Enigma’s or Mosaic or Infinity or other common lamer BS.
Update: Re-checked 3.2 Patch notes. Where is that big paly nerf you’re talking about? The only class that saw changes is the Warlock.
I have 20 hard points into Bind Demon. When I got to 15 points, Unique mobs were unable to be bound along with their minions. When I got 20 points in, Super Unique were unable to be bound or their minions. This detail is in the patch notes and is currently broken. Bliz - fix this bug. Some unique mobs can be bound. All Super Uniques are not allowing it. I did get a unique mob with curse I was able to capture only to have Diablo nuke it. Not a fun experience.
There is no bug.
I just respect my Demon Warlock today, gave him 20 hard points in Bind Demon, maxed both passives, maxed Bind Chance too and devided the rest as need, then went into Hell and got me a new Hephastos. I got 2 actually back to back since the first was not that great.
Therefore: Bind Demon works just fine, nothing to fix here. All you need to remember is that you NEED A FREE MINION SLOT and HOLD THE KEY DOWN, otherwise Bind Demon will not work!
I just did it today. 3 Goatmen and a merc following me around, got me a Hephasto. Just started working. I like you caps reply like you know wth you are talking about and are the answer to everything. This skill wasn’t working yesterday. It is now.
