Cannot bind Heph, any of the Travs, any of the TOD demons. I have BD maxed at 20 hard points. Been running for 2 hours now trying to figure it out…. am I just bugged?

Did you try bringing their health down? Bind Demon functions like catching Pokemons now. The lower their health, the higher chance to bind it. You also need to keep channeling it, it rolls a binding chance every 24 frames (1 second).
Binding is quite bad now. Lowering health doesnt really help that much it seems.

Yeah i found that to be the case too but i never tried a deep demon build, figured it was because of that. Def something they should look into.
i also had this issue.. i dont think binding the demon should be this hard

It’s insane, but you need 20 hard points to bind a super unique. At PTR build doesn’t have sufficient hard points to bind champs/uniques/super uniques…
Assuming that, you have to hold the bind demon spell with your cursor on top of the demon until it converts. You also need to lower its HP and not kill it. Super unfun to accomplish.

you have unlimited tokens to reset
binding is not that hard actually, but the demon health might be too low for those act boss.
Try channeling the bind demon spell. Works for me. Was able to bind 3 demons in 5 minutes.
If this is it i hate it.

The new way of binding demons feels terrible. I do not want to play a tedious back and forth focusing on the bind demon skill channeling while worrying about the health of the demon, pull back, reset, try again if I find a premium demon to bind.
I could go play StarCraft if I wanted micromanagement like this.

I don’t think the act of binding itself should be an ordeal. But then again, all the auras are trash now so I’m not likely to want to do it a bunch of times on the same demon to roll for an aura since they took out all the good ones.

I had this “problem” too but you have to hold the cast i.e. Hold right click until you bind the demon. It doesn’t say it but thats what you have to do now

they actually mentioned in the patch notes.
the frame change for binding
I have also been testing Bind Demon maxed Bind Demon and Death Mark with + to skill = level 36. I lowered Hephesto to close to 1% health. I spammed Bind Demon for 20 minutes without luck. Is there a bug with spamming skill. Do you have to wait the frames in between casts??

Just exited a game where someone had dragged Hephasto to the waypoint. They had the health down to below 50%. I did a little more damage to about 30%, and spent around 15 minutes hopping around trying to bind him. Just gave up, exited the game.
I just do not see any sense of logic to what they are doing with this PTR. Bind is almost impossible now, almost pointless to even try. They gave us an eth weapon while also removing the very utility of having an eth weapon with Warlock. Why not add in an Insight for the merc so we could really spam the **** out of the game to get a sense of the skill changes.

Same issue. Spamming it on lesser demons. Taking hp down. I think it’s extremely over nerfed in bind chance between the new pokemon HP mechanic and the chance per 24 frames, and it’s really bad. Just wait until you start 1 shotting demons or get into games with other players and you’ll never get to bind one lol

To those having problems, you need to stand still hold the button down for 1 or more seconds before you roll to see if the demon binds or not. If you just click the button and release like you cast all the other spells, it won’t be “channeling” long enough - it only tries every second - and you have to wait 1 second before the first try.
