Honestly, I am okay with options like that for PvE exclusive. Recourse gathering, significantly slows you down in every fight, while many other classes and just go. In general, I believe that PvE needs a couple of changes to make it more balanced along the classes and archetypes. Like Dodgies versus Tanks setups, but that has been a growing problem for a while now and probably needs other solutions.

But yeah, I think OP's suggestion would make things valid, while keeping PvP normal. I would honestly add Void Assassin to the list, I know they already keep their stuff through battles, but as a voidmage you still burn through it quickly and realistically you will always end up having 60 in every fight that matters, it just sometimes needs you to have one fake fight where you just charge up. having just 60 from the get go would remove the fake fight every so often.
