The downside of this is that you get -30 fire resistance, some players like to socket this with a ruby or a towel rune that gives you a 30 fire resistance to help offset. We can socket all of merc helms with a cham rune to prevent merc from getting frozen, that is such a powerful thing for him to be able to never get frozen and slowed down. Andariel’s Visage good for mercenary is good for melee classes, 20% increased attack speed, life steal per hit, none of that's bad things two to all skills, Andariel’s Visage is an awesome helm.

2. Blakhorn’s Face

It can be used to slow your target by 20%, but the main thing about this is that 20 to lightning absorb, that could potentially nullify and turn into healing most lightning damage if you have about 85 lightning resist, 20 to lightening resorb will basically turn black souls into healing clerics for you instead of murderous devastators of all life and humanity.
