the recharge bonuses stack, mids just doesn't report things in an intuitive way all the time.
A power's recharge is calculated like this : new recharge = base recharge / (1 + recharge bonuses + enhancement bonuses).
So a 90 second attack with hasten and 95% enhancement in it would look like:
NR = 90 / (1 + .7 + .95)
NR = 90 / 2.65
NR = 33.96
if you had hasten, 95% enhancement, 5 5% set bonuses and 1 lotg 7.5 % you get this instead :
NR = 90 / (1 + .7 + .95 + .325)
NR = 90 / 2.975
NR = 30.25

You don't have more than 5 bonuses of 5%, do you?

Yes. Ugh. I just slotted the powers up too.
I knew there had to be a catch!
Really pisses me off. I mean what a non-transparent and silly game mechanic. If it's a balance thing they should have just balanced the set bonuses in the first place!
Wow that is silly.
Wasn't sure where to ask this. I have some questions about recharge bonuses that came up while setting up my SD/DM character:
1) In Mid's if I put 5 Red Fortune defense IO's (for a +5% recharge bonus) and a Luck of the Gambler Recharge IO (for another 7.5%) I only see my global recharge bonus go up by 7.5%, not 12.5%. Is this a bug with Mid's or do they just not stack?
2) I haven't seen a good guide which describes how recharge bonuses stack. Can describe for me or link for me an equation for figuring out the recharge time on a power with a given set of bonuses from IO's, powers (Hasten), and enhancement bonuses on the power itself?
Thanks!
