-Is an Enchantress viable in Hell Mode?

-What are the best mercenaries for an Enchantress?
 
> Does Fire Mastery work with Enchant?

Yes, twice actually. First the listed Enchant damage gets affected and then the actual fire damage when enchanted.

> Beside Warmth, Enchant and Fire Mastery, what are the other skills an
> Enchantress maxes?

Some options: Max LM and fill inventory with Ldmg charms. Max Shiver Armor if you are building a Bear Enchantress. Do something with ES/TK.

> Is an Enchantress viable in Hell Mode?

The damage is there, of course a meleeing sorc is usually not the best tank.

> What are the best mercenaries for an Enchantress?

Defiance for bear probably, otherwise HF i'd say.
 
There are a plethora of Enchantress build variants. Getting them into Hell in HC is a little tough, but very very viable.

My favorite remains the Blizzard/Enchanter. Requires the least expense in skill points and allows you to deal dual elemental damage.

Warmth - Max
Enchant - Max
Fire Mastery - Max (by level 55-57, all three of these will be finished)

Blizzard - Max
Cold Mastery - Max as far as you can.

By about level 92 she would be complete. Use skillers in the cold side if you lack damage. By Hell you should be level 75 and have plenty into Blizz. Mastery will take down the fire immunes pretty quickly, so invest as much as you can.

Leveling weapons would be - Raven Claw, Shael'd Kuko, then make sure you give her a Demon Machine and in NM/Hell a Lower Resist wand isn't a bad switch weapon. Notice all my weapons fire exploding arrows and Kuko and Demon Machine pierce. Pierce is REALLY a good way to go (get Razortail) because it will do more damage.

You will invest into Dex with this build. Oh yeah, stay out of the Countess' way with this build, she always spawns Immune to Cold/Fire.

Ok, here's my noob question then: what about a buriza?

Click to expand...

the reason for the bows mentioned above is for the "fires explosive arrows or bolts"... buriza doesn't have that mod. your enchant dmg will add to the explosive radius of the arrow. kinda like shooting a fireball... well, i rather use fireball but to each his own i guess.
 
I always see this stated but I'm very skeptical towards elemental damage mods carring over with that explosion. I could see it on my Holy Shock Zealot when I switched to Kuko with OKs around. The explosion would of course set off on the first target, but monsters in the splash range would never ever display the spark animation indicating them taking lightning damage and killspeed didn't show any indication of 6000 ldmg apllied from the explosion.
 
well it works with fire damage... i think that its some sort of bug, but it may just be the intended effect. I see the results every time i level a characer from 21-25. I just equip a ravenclaw (exploding arrows) get enchanted, and start cowing. I am very very very very very sure that the splash dmg includes enchant damage, if that wasnt true then i wouldnt be able to own cows so easily.
 
Another decent build is to use a 'Passion' runeword Cryptic Sword or Phase Blade and Zeal with Enchant on. Gogo Sorc-adin.

For support skills you could probably do Orb/Mastery, or Static/FrostNova, or EShield/TK... lots of options.
