Due to the fact that Pacify, Provoke, Mend, and Maim are all channeled skills, it is actually quite viable to make an efficiency build if you are willing to forgo the use of Rest and Rage.

With max efficiency and a max rank Pacify, you are only draining 0.5 x 0.25 = 0.125 energy per second per enemy within range. To put that in perspective, you're talking just 1 energy per second when surrounded by 8 enemies. With a friendly Limbo, you'd have to have SIXTEEN enemies in range to suffer any drain at all. With or without Limbo, with even a regular Flow it would take quite a while to drain all of Equinox's energy.

And the best part is this: Pacify does NOT deactivate Energy Siphon, even when enemies are nearby. This means that the first 5 enemies in range are essentially drain-free. When running any mission that isn't endless (Exterminate, Capture, etc) you will not be surrounded by more than 6 enemies most of the time.

So I am NOT saying you are wrong - with both Stretch and Overextended in a Survival mission you could easily have 30-40 enemies in range and burn energy faster than an unmodded peacemaker! But it is worth noting that with Stretch alone keeping Pacify up all the time is not especially difficult, again prvided you have an efficiency build.
