Hall of grandmasters and animate guardian

Can we stop with these "ha fuck you" moments in poe?
Like yeah it says PVP scaling but a grand total 0.0001% of the playerbase take part in pvp and ill be surprised if 1/1000 of them know what the pvp scaling factors are and how they effect minons. All I do know it means once a league when I need to do hall of grandmasters my expensive fucking animate guardian gets one shot costing me multiple divines/exalts (thanks for making kingmaker cost 14 divines by making it stupidly rare to get used on 0.01% of melee builds and screwing over the 5% of the playerbase that use it for AG) and my time doesn't feel justified or valued.
I do not care which modifier needs to get tweaked to stop this annoying shit but it should of been done last patch when you were making all the changes then.
If you actually want to show you respect peoples time how able not having this one skill gem be a 20+ divine tax every time some bullshit 1 shots it. (and it is always a one shot no one ever sees a 80k AG slowly die over like 3 seconds Every time they die its 100% hp 25% hp dead in 1/4 of a second.)
If you want to keep the "punishment" for letting it die you could give it a long cast time of like 30 seconds so you need to be somewhere safe like your hideout to cast it or you could make it destroy 1 of the items so it at least has a Russian roulette feel of "Oh thank god its only the boots that went". And it could drop the base of that item to be a corrupted white item with 0 sockets just to show how badly used it has been or something. While being a visual indicator of what needs replacing.

You don't need to do HoGM for anything. It's not on the atlas.

HoGM has actually been removed from the requirements for quite a few leagues now. There is literally zero reason to do it unless you want to farm the drops.

What are the drops btw ? Anything unique to this area ?
I've finished it a few times with some Molten Strike juggernauts years ago but didn't get anything...

Doesn't seem like anything in particular jumps out as drops that are that map specific. It's more of an "I did it" kinda thing. That map is after all basically a bunch of supporters trolling everyone with their fully twinked out "Haha, screw you guys, beat this" builds.

MAYBE The Immortal Div card? Looks like that's the only place it drops.

As an aside, this map is never going to get changed. People have paid way too much money to get their toons in to GGG and into that map.

Last time I did that map was years ago as well with an Ice trapper first that just deleted everything in there, then when that got nixed thanks to more builds being added, I did a Death's Oath build that HAD to have Scorching Ray in it just in case of one dude's build that could only be damaged through some sort of specific Dot IIRC.
