Totem Mastery changes?

"Totems spawned by players are now killed upon player death."

maybe one of those new nodes from crucible weapon skill tree , will be

"Totems spawned by players are NOT killed upon player death." I doubt that , tho

So, I have never played totems seriously, but intend to this league.

The tots community seems really upset by the whole totems dying with you change. This doesnt really seem like a thing to me. We shouldnt be able to deal damage after we're dead and cheese bosses. I remember when they made this same change to Golems way back in the day. People were up in arms about not being able to cheese Shaper.

Yeah I cheesed invitations with ghetto gear while dead with totems. It's better from a game design perspective that you can't do that.
