I had absolutely no problems getting through nightmare.
My Amazone is completely skilled on fire-arrows and summoning the magic amazone.
But on hell even on the first map, even the normal enemies got immunities to fire.
What can I do?
Do you mean Manazon?

Something I have done is Multishot/Java. Basicly a Bowjazone^^. Worked great and killed baal in the same day !
Java is strong vs singletarget when you boost your charged strike, and very strong against everything but lightning, but there you can put out your bow with multishot and mow them down
Or respec into Firearror/Coldarrow things
The last 2 (fire and cold) are pretty strong! Also guided arrow with pierce is good in d2r
option A:
Better gear. Something like a harmony bow should help quite a lot since it adds a ton of both physical and elemental damage. If you have trouble hitting them because you didn’t put a lot of investment into attack rating like a phys bowzon would you can put one into guided shot just to be able to damage reliably.
Option B: respec into Explosive arrow and freezing arrow build, then pump Valkyrie later.
Option C: get some really nice gear for your merc. Insight or Obedience are both very good damage wise if you can get a good base for them. An ethereal obedience thresher merc will be doing thousands of damage a hit, its crazy good for the rune cost.
Edit:
Guided arrow does not work with pierce. It used to, a long time ago, and it was horribly OP because the arrow could just keep piercing a single target and doing almost infinite damage (the arrow would despawn eventually but… you spam it so…)

I’m pretty sure they fixed the Guided Arror /Pierce problem!
Yes, the fix was not allowing guided arrow to pierce.
Oh my bad then! hehehehee
But as a Bowazone there are some Items that will you make imba in an instant. A Reapers Toll at your merc will break phys immunitys as an example
Few options:
Respec and make a Fire/Ice bowazon. dual element helps out allot.
Have a high Physical damage bow on swap, and use Magic arrow.
Crushing blow on your merc, or just high damage polearm. He can whittle them down while you back him up with pots and magic arrow.
