Chloromancer currently suffers from being absolutely horrible if you don't constantly use Chronomantic Emblem, and somewhat usable with it. Only the empowered Green Gatling is useful, all of the cooldowns are way too long and the plants barely last. This rework aims to solve these inconsistencies while also making Chloromancer keep up with the META and solidifying it's role as a support and damage dealer.
Also please vastly increase the area in which the game checks the plant limit for Green Gatling and Leafy Lasher. The whole reason Chloromancer was broken with it's initial rework was due to players placing plants far enough from eachother to bypass this limit.
Note : All healing from Chloromancer is applied to both allies and allied minions

tl;dr
Plants stay active for a vastly increased duration which can be further increased by healing them.
Green Gatling delivers good and consistent damage when all 3 are deployed, which deals damage in a small area with the new Plant Power class gem.
Leafy Lasher serves as a crowd control tool that really shines in areas with high enemy density, even more so with the new Weird Growth ring effect.
Mini Blooms' main purpose is to heal Leafy Lasher and allied minions when enemies are all grouped up inside it's radius.
Empowered Growth provides consistent healing for easier plant uptime management while also being a good pairing with other minion classes like Dracolyte and Tomb Raiser.
It also grants a brief Movement Speed and Class Bonus buff to healed allies that is easy to reapply as the ability no longer has a cooldown and drains energy over time instead similar to Solarion's Prismatic Blast.
All ring effects have been changed to serve their own purpose and playstyle while also providing a bit of synergy with the rest of the abilties.
