Emanate could add so many more possibilities to enhance this season with minimal changes. You could add 1 or more class legendaries which would add much more customization of gear. Maybe you could emanate gems too. You could also add more sets that emanate. Don’t get me wrong, the flavor and nems will do nicely for pushing, but the rest of the emanate items are limited to gold, paragon, deaths breath, and key farming. Those of us who have no interest in endless paragon farming will lose interest at paragon 1,000 and continue to quit seasons after a week or two without additional gear customization options in seasons. This wouldn’t be a problem if seasons were shorter. I’d prefer month long seasons combining some of the old favorites (RORG and 4th cube slot for instance?) while you continue working on the standard 2-3 month new season content.
In general, please consider more gear customization in future seasons and helping to enhance LOD builds (key item legendary affixes) for weaker classes that have no viable LOD push builds.

Stone Gauntlets and Ice Climbers could be very nice.
Immunity Amulets
What about Cindercoat?
Stone of Jordan could emanate elemental damage % from the Follower
Leoric’s Crown?
There are many things that could work. At the very least allow some usable items.
I’d also love to see some emanate weapons. Istvans if you could allow the followers to dual wield. Echoing Fury, In geom, Messerschmidts, Executioner to name a few.
Sounds like a 4th cube slot 
Yes but they can control what legendaries are selected and builds based on those legendaries are given this “buff” to make sure it’s not too OP. Right now as it stands, the current items in emanate and additional follower skills are enhancing the season less than the 4th cube slot did. With dwindling season play, I’m finding it difficult to play casually since nearly all groups are either afk noobs looking for a handout for gear or high maintenance farmers who are only interested in having you in their group to speed farm all day and night. Let’s let solo play shine with more perks on emanate. We already know buffing damage on the follower will be near impossible to balance with GR pushing so followers will weaken to a point of uselessness at some GR level. Emanate would be easy to add more items with little effort on the games current coding for the season and let players have more customization options which makes the game fun.

In my opinion they should add all legendary powers, and only make specific set class away from “emanate”.
There’s a lot of builds which they lack in spots for supporting legendaries.
As a barbarian we have way too much mighty belts, bracers, mighty weapons and ring options that cut a lot some of our builds.
Raekor and MoTE sets has really nice numbers in terms of damage, but is impossible to mix all legendary powers these sets have.
I would like to see all legendary items emanate too, but it may be too unbalanced for GR pushing. Although, I think the game needs this to a greater degree to break the mundane builds that always top the leaderboards every season. If seasons continue to be lackluster in changing customization of builds (more LoD options please!), I will be done with D3 once D2 Resurrected comes out. I’ll also be more likely to play DI than D3 at this point…though mobile is definitely not my cup of tea.
I like the concept of having all the items a follower can equip emanate, but I also see an issue with balance in the future. I would propose opening up the gear but also scale it down to match the fact it’s a follower. For example, leoric’s crown or frostburns grant 1/3 of the benefit
