This is new to me. Never had an Iron golem killed, not even seen his life bar not in green... And I have very few points into Golem mastery. Do you cast Battle orders on him ?
No, this does not make a huge difference. You can also replace 1 jewel 15/40 with 1 jewel 15ias/15@res. At high levels, mercenary should have 75@res with it.
Anyway, with strong skeletons, mercenary is not in danger.
And you can always cast life tap, or give him a potion, or teleport away.
I've tested summoner (with army) being by far the most sturdiest character to play with, in pvm. Tests with monster's power and hp dramatically increased.
yes i allways battle order him. yesterday he is fact died from the middle boos in cs.. 1 hit dead.. by curse..i have tryed all possible options for him not to die..1 skill golem mastery gives about 4k. vs maxed 8.3k + bo from battle orders. i make beast from the lowest possible items 5socets. and i do not put skill into fire golem(gives iron golem more dmg) in solo games he is fine. but when full game doing cs or baal alone. risky.. anyway. this is only my xperience and preferance.
