Cast on Minion Death has restrictions on where or how it can drop.
Cast on Minion Death now only gains energy when persistent minions are killed. Additionally, minions that are created by a very underlevelled minion skill (relative to the current area level) now grant less energy when killed. Level 20+ minion skills will incur no penalty in endgame content.
Trigger gem energy gain was not in the right place and it was far too easy to use ailments to trigger spells. One problem with the previous system is that if we balanced it to make triggering happen in boss fights then the triggering would happen far too often during clearing.
In order to address this we are now making "Monster Power" part of the calculation for energy gain. This means that it's far easier to trigger skills from Unique Monsters than it is from normal monsters, but you also hit many more normal monsters when fighting.
We have also rebalanced all energy gain across the board.
