Bye bye chieftan and guardian, what have they done to you ? (and why ? )

Playing since abyss, mostly guardian since delve. At times aurabot, at times holy summoner.

Not really a fan of Harmony of Purpose thingy. Assuming it will only work on units which are directly on the line between player and linked ally, it's hard to give remaining party players extra max res because of proper positioning. If that would be worded "You and allies in radius equal to distance between you and closest/furthest linked target have +5% to max ele res", it would be better because that's something one can reasonably manage. Also, current wording requires line formation, which is very risky when dealing with harder content and not really doable with minions all over the place. Or, if you really want that line area of effect, please give us some ways to make it a bit wider, so that targeting is easier.

I will also miss that sweet charge generation for the whole party. Sure, I can use Conduit on tree and make some endurance charges for myself using fragile bloom or cluster jewel notable, but power/frenzy charges are a bit more complex with new changes to this node.

Also, is that "between" inclusive for guardian himself and the target ally? Not really sure here. If not, then it's really bad.

Then there are "crusade" nodes. Perma-onslaught was great for playing domblow, it felt nice to just storm the content with holy squad. Now, some of that can be brought back with Fresh Meat support as it grants adrenaline etc. to recently spawned minions, but that steals the exclusive benefit from guardian and gives it to all other summoners too. Also, it requires dropping other support gem out of the 6-link. Having to summon another minion manually adds button complexity and it looks like it doesn't help in party play - the 10% dmg mitigation is only for the guardian, not for the whole team.

Dunno about that elemental damage/relic either. Usually, my domblow/hop sentinels are pure phys, so that looks like it's something absolution players will make use of.

Please give us some more info about link mechanics and new guardian minions, because that doesn't look good right now :(
