If it recovered as much energy as rejuvenation (about 3 health per second), that would be beyond over powered, especially for players who run power efficiency + power strength builds.

It's fine the way it is right now. It recovers at a pace that you'll have the energy when you need it most (or not if you just spam your powers), but it wouldn't be something to rely on for energy recovering. Go find an energy orb or pack some energy recovering items. This is not a passive game, although there are some passive elements to it that act as a support for newer/casual players.

Most people who have put a decent amount of effort in this game (myself included) don't even need this mod. Energy orbs drop pretty frequently in this game. Don't spam your powers either, especially the 100 cost ones (25 with an power efficiency build). Your powers define you, but most of them are just clutches, something to help you in your hour of need. Otherwise, use your guns, dodge roll, jump away, or even wall-run to avoid damage. If you have the "every man for himself" thinking, hide behind a friend (Rhino, for example) and let them take the heat while you dish it out.
