Basically the idea is to have a mauler animal companion that primarily fights for me while i provide support with potions, extracts and general alchemical items.
Which one would you rather have in your party? Personally i admit the latter one is probably better mechanically, but at the same time i feel the former captures that archaic tribal herbalist feel much better. What do you think?

BTW, what are the extract combos you see as being good with combine extracts?
Heroism is 10 minutes per level so it isn't a good candidate for combine extracts imho which is something to use for short duration extracts for the action economy benefits. I use it on things like Shield+Monstrous Physique or Channel Vigor+Mirror Image, etc.

That takes a level 5 extract. It's going to be useful only for the absolute last level you have planned. Kind of late, though not actually impossible to use I guess.
