It doesn’t provide a direct buff defensively nor offensively.

Calm down. I’m shure we’ll se a bunch of items emenating in the next pach.
All the items from bounty caches could emenate, those are mostly utility items, and quite useless anyway.

I think both illusionary and Ice climbers are fine for emanate.

Having RoRG emanate would open up a huge can of worms enabling lots of builds to include Capt Crimson and/or Aughild’s without any penalty to offensive jewellery worn / cubed.

RoRG is an item which I’d leave out of the emanate list. While it doesn’t directly provide power or mitigation, it still does it indirectly.
Many other items like Illusory Boots are fine to emanate.

Why is it bad for solo players? Isn’t the goal to tighten the gap betven solo and group players? No offence, i’m just stupid😁

The goal isn’t really to tighten the gap, it is more to enable the use of MF and similar items without drawback on solo players, so that they can grind in a slightly more enjoyable manner.
I do hope we get more emanate items, not necessarily existing items, especially on the weapon and shield slots. Plus, some clarity on what items work on followers would be nice too.

Still don’t understand why rorg couldn’t emenate for solo players.
There are bunch of leg. items that have no leg. power so that could be an option to, to give them some kind of power to emenate.
I use Ring of Royal Grandeur on most of my builds, because it allows to skip one of the set slots where you already absolutely need to put a unique or two (through Kanai’s cube). It is part of what allows the build to have so much power. Free that ring or cube slot, and I’ll put another item for extra DPS or survivability.
That ring isn’t on the list because it improves power and the list isn’t meant to give that. Not that I would necessarily be against having items that give more power on the list.
But i hate that ring soooooo much.
If my follower can emanate Ice Climbers, I’m going to figure out how to fit Stone Gauntlets into almost every build.

Anything that isn’t class specific would be nice. I ’ d even add some items that have multipliers, like magefists or string of ears. Not a big deal. That might sound op to some people but magefists for example gives like a 1 GR level increase. It’s not going to break the game. Illusory bots while not having a multiplier is very strong so it’s on the border of what’s op and what not for emanate but it would be great if it happens. RoRG on the other hand, I real doubt they will ever allow it to emanate. Maybe a season theme will make it happen it and stays like that for that season only.
Yes, that’s valid - I had similar concerns. It would be a survivability buff for a lot of classes, but not a damage one. I think that’s OK.
Emanated RoRG will bring players to choose between breaths and keys sets.
My Enchantress is already emanating the Cain’s and Sage’s sets because she’s wearing a RoRG. If that also emanated, the hero could hybridise sets without the penalty of losing a ring slot.
Okay, reality check. RRoG can never be emanated in the near future. Ring slots aren’t competitive enough right now.
And that is bad for solo players because…
It’s not going to be bad, it’s just season 16 for free. I don’t think they are ever going to allow for an item as strong as a seasonal theme to emanate. I see them doing that for seasonal themes maybe, having items like that to be allowed to emanate, but not for something permanent.

I really hope the Devs will this ready for the next Season. This is going to revolutionize so many builds.
I have to disagree here.
It could very well be considered a defensive buff. If you are able to walk freely through your enemies to escape them at any moment and not be hindered, that is by definition a defensive ability. Just wanted to point this out.
Ice Climbers fall into the same category as they are defensive.
To date, none of the current items are either defensive or offensive in nature. They add things to the QoL or enable the ability to enhance farming, but beyond that nothing else. And to be honest it should remain as such in my opinion. Already way too much power creep in the game.
Problem with using RoRG on followers to emanate will break the ability to use the follower to emanate a few other skills instead. I mean I use the RoRG on my follower now to increase the powers of two sets while allowing other items to be able to be equipped at the same time.
RoRG would still fall into the class of Defensive/Offensive direct boost by making sets work with one item less than they need.
I don’t think we will be seeing any items being added that are weapons or offhands, unless they provide no direct offensive/defensive assistance. And it should remain this way.
I hate grinding for that ring so much. I still have bad memories of a few seasons back where I spent many evenings over the course of a month looking for just ONE of them to complete a build. Even in groups it would fail to drop. Any other season I would get it within the first few attempts. To this day, I still have way more A1 materials than the others because of it. lol
Well, if the patch notes from the PTR are anything to judge by, they haven’t added any new items to the list for this next season for emanation.
Just saying.
Game on.
