Off the top of my head, Iskandra's Elemental Exchange in Arcanist and the amulet/medal component Arcane Spark.
use ectoplasm component, one or two solves most energy needs while leveling until your build/gear balances out better

There isn't many melee builds that are going to send you scrambling for energy.. if you are this is usually a sign that you are over-pumping skills too early, too fast - before you've fleshed your build out enough to handle it.

Either wear gear that provides energy regen in the meantime or exercise some restraint until you get a grasp on it.

You can also always upload your character into the GrimTools Calc https://www.grimtools.com/calc/ and share the build with us so we can see exactly what you are doing.

my go-to solution for energy issues on weapon users is the an Arcane Spark component https://www.grimtools.com/db/items/2887 on the medal. the energy leech and energy regen usually solve the issue other than maybe boss encounters that don't have any trash to leech from. the passive 44 OA on top of that feature also isn't too shabby

I understand that over pointing something, im currently playing oathkeeper with full eye of reckoning, soul fire, Divine mandate, and the minion you can summon 2 of.

There's your problem right there then but if you're that far along you definitely have access to Ectoplasms (plus there are other components and augments that offer similar). Use 'em. You also have the choice of speccing into a mastery like mentioned above, Arcanist, can help. Shaman has Mogdrogen Pact which offers a little regen. NIghtblade has Energy Absorption on Phantasmal Armor.

And as I mentioned above you also have the option of utilizing gear that offers it. Plus Devotions offer answers as well. Or you could tone the skill back to a level you can handle it at.

You have multiple paths to achieve this. And they can all be mixed and matched.

Ectoplasm, Arcane Spark like others have mentioned.

Look for other energy regen type components you can combine or make at a blacksmith and snap 'em into your gear.

Energy management isn't a big deal in GD even for casters once you learn the ropes.

Good luck.
