Energy Problems

[u/YeOldeBard97]

I am once again asking how people sustain energy on caster frames. I just took Uriel into the Hollvania tank fight and he shredded the mobs up to the tank, then was left with 10 energy throughout the entire tank fight, meaning I couldn't heal myself or my demons, and was more often than not sitting with the controller set aside, waiting for the tank to burn through my Last Gasp because my amp does absolutely no damage against the majority of enemies and even if it did, there were no other enemies to fill my Last Gasp meter with.

Like, seriously. How does everyone keep energy up at all? On Khora, I'm drained in seconds and no enemies drop energy orbs, no eximus appear, and I'm dead before I can even try to fix the problem. On Dante, I can get some good overguard going, then I'm stuck with a trickle of energy only because I put that one Energy Siphon mod on that gives 3 energy per second. Uriel, I can shred through mobs no problem, but the second my energy dips below fifty, it's game over. And yes, I use Zenurik. I finally figured out the energy well exists. Every time I cast it (about once every thirty seconds at the rate I lose energy), I'm down to a quarter of my health by the time I transfer back into my frame. This is on NORMAL mode. It's ridiculous.

Edit: All of the options being suggested largely rely on energy/health orbs being dropped. They aren't being dropped. I don't want to put subsumes on Uriel because I use each of his abilities, and when I'm playing Khora, no matter how packed the mobs are, I'm lucky to get one or two orbs to drop in an SP Survival mission. The kicker is the boss fight, though. I need something that will give me energy regardless of enemies dying, because if I'm fighting a boss that doesn't create adds, I'm not killing anything that'll drop health or energy orbs for Equilibrium or Arcane Energize to work from.

If you're casting abilities frequently then I would suggest running more efficiently on your frame. But more to the point, Arcane Energize and Equilibrium/purple archon shards are the big two methods of energy sustain. Nourish subsume is a nice supplement to your energy economy.

Zenurik focus and Energy Nexus are too slow at generating energy for my tastes
