Item acquisition
Elemental Invocation has restrictions on where or how it can drop.
Elemental Invocation now gains 10 Energy per Power of enemies you Freeze with Hits from Skills (previously 10), 2 Energy per Power of enemies you Ignite with Hits from Skills, modified by the percentage of the enemy's Ailment Threshold the Ignite will deal (previously 3). It also now gains 1 Energy per Power of enemies you Shock with Hits from Skills (previously 3).
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.
Another issue was using low level skills with unconditional ailment applications such as Flame Wall to ignite enemies for triggering. In order to make the source of the ignite matter we are making the energy gain be dependent on the strength of the ignite.
We have also rebalanced all energy gain across the board.
