hasten does effect itself, before ED you used to be able to put 5-6 recharge SO's on it and have it perma but now with 3 being the max you can have it about 75% of the time i think
is there a limit on how many of each type of enhancement you can put into a power then?

does adding recharge speed enhancements to hasten reduce the time it takes to recharge, or the time it takes your powers to recharge while hasten is active? or both?
and am i right in thinking that hasten doesn't start to recharge until the effect wears off?

Recharge enhancements don't affect the bonus that Hasten grants (Fixed at ~66%), just the time it takes to recharge. Hasten does affect itself (i.e. It recharges 66% faster while it's still running.
Being a clicky, Hasten starts recharging immediately after activating it.

Not really. You can still put 6 Recharge-reduction enhancements in Hasten, it just isn't a very good idea anymore, due to ED bringing the Law of Diminished Returns into full power. Basically, slotting more than 3 of a kind in any given power will give extremely minute gains... even the third is diminished, granting maybe 2/3 of what the 2 first do. Hell, with +3's, even the second will be slightly weaker than the first...
This was, of course, introduced to enhance our playing experience. Neverminding that it's universally hated by everybody who's been here since before it happened, and by every newbie who's tried slotting his powers without being aware of this rule.

Well, apart from the 6-slots-overall-limit there is no hard limit to how many enhancements of each type you can put into a power, but you have to be aware that the effectiveness of each enhancement after the third SO of equal type is greatly reduced. So, if 3 damage SOs give a ~97% bonus to damage three further SOs will increase this bonus by ~3%. That means, while you can 4-, 5- or 6-slot one type of enhancement you will waste your SOs by doing this.
If it has eyes, you can blind it, if it has blood, you can make it bleed, if it has a mouth, you can make it scream.
thanks for letting me know about the diminishing returns - i would've automatically tried 6 recharge enhancements in hasten had i not known =]
ahhh pre-ED days on my scrapper spines/regen, hell pre I4 with instant healing 5 slotted for heal.
