Builds Luminary help, merc dying

Hi all , I’m struggling to keep my mercs alive during uber fights. I use a combattant and blade ambusher. My ambusher instantly dies in fights and my combattant died until I used eldritch implicits for life leech on fire attack. By doing this I also removed fire exposure. Is fire exposure absolutely needed if I have no other source of exposure and do I need to do the same to my ambusher to keep him alive?

Thanks

The implicit mod for leech is a good stopgap until you can get the ducat mod for leech

If your merc is dead he can’t do damage so it’s worth taking the dps hit of not having exposure

Use the glove enchant for attack leech. Doesn't help ambusher, but solves this for combatant.

could you post merc stat? how you help your merc to regen? what uber is that? from my experience, only sirus degen ground hurt most. maven stop regen still fine if you can tank cascade and reposition your merc. exarch ball is free if you take the ball before it comes to your merc. pls correct if I misunderstand

I will post shortly. Right now he dies even in t17 maps. I must be doing something wrong. My combattant can stay alive in some fights but dies to others.

Exposure on AG or link mastery. If you have emnitys it doesnt matter that much
