I have a question about Golem Mastery and Clay Golem. In 1.09 and previous, GM only pumped the base (level1) HPs of your golem. So a level 20 GM and lvl 20 Clay would have 1165 HPs (100 + 100*4 + 665) where a level 20 GM and any level (level 1 comes to mind) Fire golum would have 1640 HPs (328 + 328*4)
Even a level 1 Blood Golem would have 1005 life, dang near as much as a level 16 Clay with the same golem mastery.
The only real purplse of the clay golem is the tanking ability as it only does 15-38 damage at level 20. Yes, it now has the ability to slow a monster, but only the one monster it hits (it is not giving off a Holy Freeze aura, or slowing all the things that are hitting it,) so it's usefullness as a tank against multiple creatures is still not great.
I would like to see the golem mastery affect the life of the golem at its current level. so at level 20 with a level 20 golem mastery it would have (765 + 765*4) = 3825 HPs.
As the life of minions is no longer bosted with dificulty level, I do not see this amount of life as a problem for the Tank Golem.
I do not have 1.10 installed, and probably won't until it is released. Can anyone out there that has it installed confirm if the 1.09 behavior on this skill combo has changed with 1.10?
