Primordial Golemstones - Awesome? [Y/N]

Here's a chicken-or-the-egg thought. Does the fact that your passives don't apply to minions (and vice versa) determine how the passives are worded? Or is it the wording that determines how this particular arrangement works?

I believe Chris Wilson has stated that POE draws quite a bit from Magic: The Gathering, not just in terms of flavor, but also syntactic style. Distinct phrasing patterns are strictly adhered to in order to convey the games mechanics. Going back to how minion passives work, we often see passives phrased like this:

Minions have 10% increased maximum Life

Now is the "X have Y" phrasing exclusive to minions? Actually, no. We have a few (perhaps less prominent) non-minion examples as well:

Attacks have 10% chance to cause Bleeding
Spells cast by totems have 3% increased Cast Speed
Critical Strikes with Daggers have a 40% chance to Poison the Enemy

One way to look at these nodes is to point out that, of course, all of these apply to "you" the player still.

But another way to look at it is that "You have" is implied for the vast majority of (or perhaps all?) passive nodes that don't specifically have the "X-have-Y" phrasing. Following that, you could make the argument that all of the "X-have-Y" passives don't apply to "you" the player, but to the specific "X" in question, hence requiring explicit indication rather than being implied. Taking that one step further, you could say that "Golem Skills have..." applies directly to "Golem Skills" and not necessarily to the player. And if Golem abilities were to be tagged as Golem, well then... :)

Now, Mark did specifically say "your" in his reply, as you pointed out. But did he mean that in the POE sense or in the generic sense? I really hope he responds :P
