Mercenary
You can either choose a Defensive (
Holy Freeze) or Offensive
(
Might) Act 2 Nightmare Mercenary here depending on if you prefer a
slower pace and safety, or want your Mercenary to have added Damage to help take
care of Fire Immune enemies. I prefer
Might Mercenary for this
character. If running Phoenix I would not recommend
Holy Freeze
since it diminishes the viability of
Redemption.
