My Arch/MM does not have Hasten. I find it's unnecessary. Now, Hasten is a great power and very easy to put into a build, but not required.
The plastic tips at the end of shoelaces are called aglets. Their true purpose is sinister.

alot of the builds im looking at online seem to include hasten into the builds, while i know most blaster types take it (something that seems beaten into our heads) it seems to me that arch is a quick recharging set and not really requiring it. Am i wrong in this thinking or am I missing something?

Hasten helps Rain of Arrows recharge faster.
Why Blasters? Empathy Sucks.
So, you want to be Mental?
What the hell? Let's buff defenders.
Tactics are for those who do not have a big enough hammer. Wisdom is knowing how big your hammer is.
Hasten will boost your DPS significantly, seeing as your attacks are up more often. It also helps RoA come up more, which is a great power. However, you shouldn't be taking Hasten if you're already having Endurance issues. Since you're attacking more often, you'll be burning more End. Plus hasten has a minor end crash in it. Plus... I hate the animation.
But, it's completely unnecessary. You'll be okay without it. It's just helpful. You could go for global recharge boosts instead, but without some serious inf investment, you won't get Hasten's level of recharge enhancement.
A hastenless blaster isn't living up to its full potential. Neither is a blaster without fitness (unless you have another means of massive +rec especially at low levels, like always teaming with a kin or /mental).
If you want to live up to your full potential. Every scrap of extra +rech and +rec (with out gimping yourself on power selections) is what you want to fuel the new defiance. Any thing else is less than optimum.
