Nope, got three recreds in it and 3 in hasten, Its not close to perma

Not true. In my fire/dark corr, I have 5 purple sets, 2 posi sets, and 3 other sets with 5% recharge. This puts hasten 2 seconds away from perma, and gives me a constant 170% recharge. Powerboost is down to a 32 second recharge. So my powerboost only has 17 seconds of downtime. It ain't perma, but I wouldn't say "Nope, can't get it close."
A) PB starts off with 120 second recharge. So 32 ain't bad, considering.
B) Due to the nature of PB, the only reason perma PB would be great is for toggles. If you have defense sets, PB will boost them for those 15 seconds, then wear off. But clicks tend to last longer. So if you figure it in terms of the power you want to be permaboosted, than yes, 32 second recharge is enough to consider the power in your chain permaboosted. If If that doesn't make sense, I'll give you an example.
You've got a power with a 30 second recharge. Powerboost it, throw it out there. You throw out all the powers you need boosted, then move onto your attack chain while powerboost is down, since it doesn't increase damage. By the time you get around to using those holds and such, powerboost has recharged with them. So you go back to a powerboost-hold/confuse/etc-attack-attack-attack. Holds and confuses and such come back up (guarantee with powerboost stretching out their duration, you can leave em and attack for a little while you wait), and you powerboost and stack status effects again.
This works different with every AT I'm sure, but the basic idea is there.
Roll an /em blaster and you can more or less have it running most of the time. Though it doesn't have quite the impact that it has for doms, corrs, and especially trollers.

To get perma-Power Boost, you would need 700% recharge tota to reduce it's 120 seconds recharge down to 15 seconds. With 3 IO's giving you roughly 100% recharge in the power, you still need 600% which is far beyond the recharge cap of 400%. So... no, perma isn't possible.
With some very high recharge builds you can have it up nearly half the time though. Bear in mind that it boosts many things: mez duration, defenses, and tohit, as well as, defense and tohit debuffs. For click powers it will boost them for their entire duration; toggles, on the other hand, will only be boosted for 15 seconds.
Personally, I think it goes very well with Link Minds.
I second that Ketch. 8D My mind linking dom is uber sexy
*sigh*
Somethings look so good on paper. I really had my hopes set on some PB'ed Linked Minds, but having just hit 41 today I noticed that LM isn't affected by Power Boost. There's a very small resistance component (1.7% to psi, thanks a lot) that puts it into the category of powers PB can't touch. Looks like I'll have to spend a respec...

It's very possible to have it up 50% of the time on a high recharge perma-build. That means that it's available every 30 seconds, and can be used for the alpha on most teams.

I'm not sure why you resurrected a 5 year old post.

Yeah, I know. I'm respeccing my Dom too. Sorry to lead you astray Ketch. It looked so amazing on paper. I guess mids hasn't killed the respec trials, so that's an upside, one more TF/trial for us to do.

Truth, psi mastery turned out very very dissapointing. The armor and mez resist are nice.. but other epics have way more options. Mind Link is poor for doms. You cant enhance the recharge time, and power boost does not effect its defense bonus like ketch said.

You can reduce the recharge time, but just like Mind Link you'll need to use multi-aspect enhancements to do it. That and a healthy dose of global recharge. Of course, without the power boost backing it up I don't think it's a goal worth shooting for.

Oh and locking the necro-thread, we don't take kindly to zombies around here.
Edit: I do love my zombie Mastermind, for the record.
