Guardian Angel as chest armor - increases Max fire res.

Also use a melee merc with Reapers toll: More life leech (a1 merc converts part of damage to elemental, preventing that part from leeching), decrepify procs weakening council. Might aura also helps him with damage. Helm: Kiras for cnbf

I use an a5 dual wield merc.

Helm - Flickering Flame Bone Visage
Weapon1 - Last Wish PB
Weapon2 - Unbending Will PB
Armor - Guardian Angel

Has only died once, trav council had conviction. Since then I focus on whatever council member has conviction and he has not died. Right now the armor and helm are not ethereal but I plan on upgrading when I find them or trade for them.

If Merc isn't killing give him an Eth GA with a Vex Rune + 3os Circlet of life leech with 3x 15@/7FHR or something, with Infinity to reduce def so you don't need AR
Or some big leech Weap + Um'd Kiras + Eth GA/Vex

Hell Merc can even use Steel Shade for the anti-hydra absorb
