Yeah I don't remember the minimum duration you 'need' but if you're at 190 effeciency the drain is basically the same as max duration + 130 efficiency. I think it's like 40 duration, once you drop below that your drain gets multiplied exponentially basically. I run a build similar to aggromaster TrigrH on Equinox (- Rage + Stretch) and energy consumption isn't an issue at all. If you have less than 100 duration you need to have 190 efficiency for abilities that constantly drain energy.

TrigrH's build is basically trading duration for range since you need maxed Narrow Minded, Primed Continuity, and Fleeting Expertise to get the same result in 3 mod slots. It's a cheaper build also since you don't have to max 2 r10's to get the effect in 3 mods. *If you're running Transient Fortitude also

Efficiency reduces the cost each time energy is drained to sustain an ability and Duration increases the time between 'ticks'. If something costs 10 energy a tick and you have 190 efficiency + 40 duration your ticks cost 1 energy but happen every .4 seconds instead of every second. 160 and 160 makes something drain 4 energy every 1.6 seconds. .4 x 4 = 1.6. The drain is identical.
