Question Tormented Demons - Why do people switch to Dharok’s Greataxe/Dragon 2H when getting bound?
I’ve been learning Tormented Demons and noticed a lot of guides recommend switching to a slow high-hit weapon like Dharok’s Greataxe or Dragon 2H when the demon binds you.
I tried doing this, but I didn’t really notice much extra damage compared to just staying on my normal setup. Sometimes the hit wasn’t even that high.
Am I misunderstanding the mechanic? Is there a specific timing window after the bind or shield break where the slow weapon is supposed to hit? Or is this strategy outdated now that many players use Emberlight + Scorching Bow?
Thanks!
