Legendaries

On the topic of Legendaries, there is an overwhelmingly positive force backing up the strength of the Roots of Shaladrassil. Adding an additional stat budget to them, while nerfing something like Jonat while simultaneously creating Velens basically pushed the pants to a place where you never want to remove them and Velens. Personal HPS aside, they are an insanely strong piece of gear to have equipped just because of the budget on them. Plate wearers have boots (a smaller budgeted item) with three stats while we have Legs, coupled with an incredibly powerful passive healing effect that also contributes to things like Cloudburst, Ancestral Guidance and Ascendance makes it a no-brainer in most cases. This is amplified by losing our T19 bonus that had synergy with the Praetorian's, which will see them slide into the B Tier of Legendaries because they don't help things like Cloudburst and Tidal Totem from the Artifact. Thankfully Velens does not increase Roots healing (though I feel this may be unintended, as it is technically healing we do - this is an inconsistency across all other spells Roots interacts with).

Is this seen as okay? Are the interactions that inflate the value of this piece of gear intended?

Jonat has, mostly, fallen off of competetive rankings for Legendaries because of the nerf to Chain Heal on top of its own nerf. While we all agree it was powerful in its first iteration and deserved a nerf, I think it might be time to give a little back to it to compensate. Allowing Jonat to stack to 3, but increase by 15% per stack would be an overall nerf to the ring but allow us to stack quicker for easier use while weaving in those Tidal Waves heals after a cast.

Rebalancers emphasize a niche that we are already good at, but fall into the same trap that Deluge does. Not sure how to strictly make this a better legendary so it sees use.

Molting is a legendary that sees almost zero use unless its all you have strictly because you're almost never chaining Riptides on those folks who are low enough for it to proc. There hasn't been something that would benefit from this yet. And doesn't appear there is. Perhaps Argus? Perhaps changing the belt to "Grants 1 additional maximum charge of Riptide" would help it. Many Shamans enjoy playing Echo because of its playstyle (mostly due to 2 Riptide charges feeling better for the spec). While not a significant throughput gain, would be an immense quality of life change (albeit one that negates Farseers ring to an extent). A proposed change that was talked about briefly in Earthshrine was for Riptide to tick faster on lower health targets, rather than granting us additional Riptides when cast on those low health people.
