monk meta energy skill

Hello guys, so my build is not built around meta energy gain, but i just took the monk ascendancy for it cos elemetal expression sucks. but i'm not sure its actrually doing anything? on bosses with 0 passives it already built up fast and alot of mobs don't actually give energy. also it doesn;t show on tooltip.

are we borked and we have 2 bad ascendancy skills? hopefully someone can clarify.

fwiw i'm attack absed lightning monk with a cast on shock nad cold spell to help proc chill for extra damage

bump

I mean, Cast on Crit Invoker still works but it lacks a bit of clear compared to for example an Ice Strikes Invoker. It's not worthless, but not that great either. They nerfed it way too hard for clearing. I just had a Breach and I couldn't kill fast enough before I got swarmed.

I feel right now it works better with Elemental Expression than it did before, even though it's still not a strong ascendancy node.

i'm not worried about clear(i'm not in maps yet) i use tempest bell for my clear so far, i just wondered if the meta skills gain extra energy ascendancy is near worthless now as on bosses my spell casts frequently and alot of the white mobs don't give any power in the first place, some give 0.5. maybe they need to redo some of our ascend skills
