If GBA is outside a geonosian team, Hive Mind only applies to him and Brute. Hardly a "lead" ability - not substantially different than the Han/Chewie interaction or the Chirrut/Baze interaction. In a plug-and-play role, GBA is good, but he's essentially just a tank with a huge health pool, great self-healing ability, and good buff removal. He doesn't really do anything else. Not remotely game breaking on his own, just a really good support character.
If he's on Geos and not in the lead, you do get the full effect of Hive Mind. But there are lots of other characters which in essence allow a team to have 2 team leads. R2's stat boost and debuff cleansing. zBarriss unique. T3-M4's massive bonuses to droids. Traya's debuff cleanse. Rex's unique. Shaak Ti's unique. The entire Imperial Trooper mechanic.
Honestly speaking, he shouldn't be allowed to do even half of that outside of full Geo squad. Atm GBA is just a pain in the **** within DR-Malak squads where he shouldn't belong.
This is the crux of it. You are essentially getting two toons for the price of one. One has infinite taunt and both have infinite protection and health regeneration. I really don't see the counter arguments and toons above doing even remotely same. NS/Zombie add on nope because zombie isn't forever regenerating health and protection. Kill 3 times done with and can't be summoned back. Chaze please that combo hasn't been used in serious arena/ GAC/TW nor have I seen any others the BA and Brute popping up everywhere.
Either hive mind shouldn't work unless BA is lead and brute should not be summoned outside geo team.
