I'm a Blood-Fire Amazon so spend most my time behind my fire elementals and merc.
I'm currently using a Fighter Mage (Act 2), but he's kinda useless ( though to be fair I haven't decked him out completely ).
Before committing to building up one I wanted to ask for advice what you guys would consider using in my situation.
I've thought about using :
Shapeshift (Act 2): Tho the hierling guide kinda threw me off that choice talking about how nerfed he was
Blood Mage (Act 3): The healing / spell damage ring seems interesting specially sense I have my fire eles already as good tanks
Any advice would be appreciated.
Best Regards,
Stoop

If I was in ur situation, I would consider a tanky option to keep myself more safe as a bloodzon than getting some extra baby damage from mercs, in Dunc/Fauzt/Scos.
Trust me u r not tanky enough or as tanky as u thought even with ur fire eles if u r farming fast enough, especially in early/mid game (before lvl 145 with endgame blood-fire zon gear).
Shapeshift (Act 2):
Necrolyte (Act 3): Miasma + Force Blast, explains itself well. Whatever u gear him,
If in labs in late game, no need to bother with them.
