Skills socketed in Meta gems no longer gain energy?

The patch notes say:

"

Skills socketed in a Meta Gem's sockets can no longer gain energy.

Wth does that mean!?? Wouldn’t that defeat the entire purpose of Meta Gems since the skills socketed in them require energy to trigger? Am I misunderstanding something here or did they word this poorly?

If I understand that correctly it means that triggered spells cannot generate energy to trigger themselves again and create endless loop.

i think it means you can't create an infinite loop of skills in cast on crit for example gaining itself energy and retriggering itself

Hmm, I see that makes more sense although shouldn’t it say “generate” rather than gain to be clearer? Also infinite loops already weren’t possible since your mana would drain at some point. This all seems like a knee-jerk reaction to the very clearly bugged interaction between Temporalis and Choir of the Storm uniques… /sigh

This was possible with Thief's Torment.
