PB
duration: 120 secs
recharge: 200 secs
Adding Recharge SOs
1 x SO++ = 146 secs
2 x SO++= 115 secs
And with Quickness
1 x SO++ + Quickness = 128 seconds
2 x SO++ + Quickness = 104 seconds
In my opinion, quickness is now a must have power. It acts as if you had 1 rech SO in all your powers.
Now that perma hasten is gone this power is finally worth it, it wasn't the case before ED.
For practiced brawler : 2 recharge SO make it perma.
For your attack chain : quickness is equivalent as 1 recharge SO, so 1 recharge per attack should be enough.
This said, i wouldn't drop hasten. The downtime on a 6 slotted hasten with quickness is 34 seconds, it's still really worth it, of course it is just my opinion.
agreed...i would say quickness is a very useful power to have.
i have mine 3 slotted with running speed. not only is it useful in the recycling of your powers, but its a hell of a lot of fun zipping around the map in missions.
i haven't got hasten as of yet as the recharge for my attacks is sufficient enough., however will be getting later on in the game.

Another /SR scrapper without hasten. Can confirm PB only needs two SOs to perma, although I've still got 3 slots in it from my DO days.

VIGILANCE Captain Caledonia 20 - Yeah, I made toons on the French server coz we only had 4 back then (might have to transfer/recreate them on one of the US servers)
..and many more!
I wouldn't have thought PB with 3 slots was such a bad idea mind you, more so for PvP so if you do get dropped you can get the power back as soon as possible.
I'm also respeccing my MA/SR at the moment.
I've got to say for /SR Quickness is a nice luxury to have but I still prefer Hasten.
IIRC Hasten is equivalent to 2 SO recharges in every power. Even with ED the downtime on Hasten is not much. It's hardly noticible (and I think it also gives a slight Defense buff - cant remember if this was removed).
Also you get the speed pool and I've always thought Superspeed is one
of the most useful travel powers - with it's inherent invis and being able to get into melee range fast.
To get vertical I took Hover too - which works nicely for me!
Cheers folks.
I remained unconvinced of Hastens usefulness to the SR scrapper following the introduction of enhancement diversification; by taking quickness, youre capable of having a workable attack chain and a majority of the SR powers are toggles, with the exeception being Elude, which is more a panic button for me rather than something I use with any degree of regularity.
Using a 1 acc / 3 dam / 1 rchg / 1 endred slotting basis and with quickness, an attack chain of SK-AS-CAK-SK-CK seems to give me decent DPS. The real umming and aaahing is over the value of EC as an attack in the MA set, but thats a whole different kettle of fish 
Plus, Ive PB on perm-click, hasten is simply another thing to remember, and Im pretty old and forgetful.

More so still - you can stack it, for greater mez protection.

Wreck, didnt mean to imply it was a toggle drop.
I think he meant to say 'get dropped' as in 'Defeated'.
So if you die and get rezzed/go to hosp (or even mezzed) you will have PB available faster.

To HarvestMoon: Yup I agree now that Hasten is not really needed for SR if you take Quickness. In fact I respecced out SS & Hasten and took Fly and Quickness instead.
Flying is so much more convenient- although I do miss SS.
Just wanted to get some advice for my MA/SR scrapper. The toon is level 50, but Im respecing (again)for ED. I did have Hasten in the build which Im dropping, so my question is about whether Quickness is worth taking or not.
Basically, Im concerned about two major things here:
1. Will I be able to perma-PB without Quickness? If so, how many SO slots will it take?
2. My attacks are Storm Kick, Air Superiority, Crippling Axe Kick, Crane Kick and Eagles Claw. To get a solid attack chain going, will one recharge SO be sufficient without Quickness, or would I need two?
