It still does nothing to alleviate the biggest problem with golems. They simply don't do enough damage. Sure Clay Golem were never meant as a killer, but a Blood Golem needs to do at least some damage to be useful and the whole idea behind the later golems used to be as actual killers.
Now in 1.10 their viability as damage sources runs out in late nightmare (the Clay Golem dries out in act 1 normal).
If you want your golem to kill I would suggest looking for some sort of really nasty elite weapon. You could look for ethereal non-merc uniques who'd otherwise be useless or perhaps some of the not-so-good elite uniques such as the Hellslayer.
